Mehtab Bagh didn't look much special to me, so we came back after 10 minutes walk from here. According to me, Mehtab Bagh is waste of time there is Taj view point just a little further ahead because everyone comes here to take pictures with the Taj Mahal. There are no charges for visiting the viewpoint so everyone should go there
Here online ticket payment is for 20 rs and offline ticket is 25 rs. So, its better to pay online😃
Mehtab Bagh is a small garden, which lies close to Taj Mahal. This garden is very famous for spotting Taj Mahal from a distance. The garden is square shaped and perfectly aligned with the wonder, which is found on the other side of the river.
The worst time to visit the park is rainy season. The place will be flooded during heavy rains. The best time to visit is winter and early summer. During peak summer, the temperature will be high that can dehydrate you.The winter starts by October and ends by February.
The park is open from 10 in the morning to 5 in the evening.
Where is Mehtab Bagh is located ?
The park is located very close to Taj Mahal, across the river. It is located in Etmadpur region of Agra. You can find a lot of cabs and auto to reach the park from any part of Agra. Visit to the garden from Taj Mahal will take a lot of time, as you need to cross the city to reach the park.

One can have a backside view of Taj Mahal from Mehtab Bagh. We visited on Friday when TajMahal was closed for visitors, hence we went to Mehtab Bagh.
Mehta bagh is on the other side of Taj Mahal basically it is on back side of Taj Mahal. There is river (probably 300 meters distance from park to Taj) between Taj Mahal and Mehta bagh park.
Though it is on the back side of Taj Mahal, but to go Mehta bagh you need to travel another 10 to 12 kms from Taj or from Agra fort.
It's like crossing the river within the city and then you reach Mehta bagh. Entry ticket for park is 15 or 20 RS per person.
If Taj Mahal is closed then you can go to Mehta bagh for close view of Taj or else you can directly go to Taj when it is open. Usually Taj is closed on Friday's.
And Don't believe any one who says we have hill top restaurant you can view Taj and take pics, there is slum or small houses in front of Taj and they constructed 3 floor building from where Taj can be viewed but that's not worth and it's waste of money.
If Taj is opened go directly visit or else Mehta bagh is better option, don't go for ROOF TOP HOTELS

You will get best view of Taj Mahal from here.
The Mehtab Bagh, translated as "Moonlight Garden," is a quadrilateral garden complex found directly opposite the Taj Mahal across the Yamuna River.
To get to the Mehtab Bag, you will need to walk around the riverbank, heading north and crossing the Strachey Bridge. Then, it's another 2-kilometer walk back south along the Yamuna until you reach the Mehtab Bagh. Alternatively, you can take a rickshaw for around 150 rupees per person from anywhere around the Taj.
