Agra, 18th April. Agra administration has decided to increase the entry ticket fee for both domestic and foreign tourists.
The Indian tourists, who are currently paying Rs. 50 as entry fee, will now have to pay Rs. 80, while foreign tourists will have to pay Rs. 1200, instead of Rs.1100 to enter the Taj Mahal.
Apart from that, the ADA will also charge Rs. 200 from tourists who want to enter the main dome, which is separate from the Rs. 200 already being charged by the ASI.
Agra Divisional Commissioner Amit Gupta said, “Agra Development Authority (ADA) has proposed to charge Rs 200 to enter the main dome, separate to Rs 200 already charged by Archaeological Survey of India (ASI).”
With the revision in the charges, domestic tourists wishing to enter the main dome will have to pay Rs. 480, while foreign tourists will be charged Rs. 1600.
Replying to the new proposal of increasing entry tickets prices to the Taj, a tourist Saurabh Mishra said, “If prices surge, it would cause inconvenience to Indian tourists to see their own heritage. We used to pay Rs 50 to visit the main dome. If it increases again, footfall of Indian tourists will decrease.”
