Thanks!

Hi!
Happy to answer your query. Taj Mahal is one of the most sought after destinations in India 🙂
Taj Mahal is visited regularly by many people with disabilities and has good accessibility levels. Except the main tomb level pretty much all area is accessible on a wheelchair.
India is an amazing destination to travel for people with disabilities but needs the perks of an expert who has the know how of everything and every place. With the assistance of an experienced accessible travel service provider like Planet Abled you can be rest assured that your experience would be a memorable one sans any unpleasant surprises.
The founder started the company due to the unpleasant travel experiences she had while travelling with her parents with disabilities. Hence the company is completely focussed on and passionate about making travel accessible and possible for all, come what may.
Incase you have any more questions, please write to me at parul@planetabled.com

Great to hear! Is there a wheelchair accessible toilet available?
Yes Azalee, there is a wheelchair accessible toilet available inside the premises.
That is good to know! Can’t fully enjoy a place of you are worried about the toilet!
Yes absolutely 🙂
When are you planning to come to India?
No time soon, just in the “someday” dream stage 🙂
No worries. I am sure the dream would be a reality soon. 🙂
Yes, you can access Taj Mahal and most of the places through wheelchair.
However, the main tomb is not accessible. Toilets are also accessible.
However, I have seen people using locals to carry their wheelchairs and them in the tomb as well by paying some Indian rupees.
Can’t say how much as I have only seen it.
