British Tourist Viral Video: A British traveller had a once-in-a-lifetime experience at the Taj Mahal; she got to see it all alone, just as the sun was rising. Krista Jarman, a travel creator from the UK, reached the monument at 4:45 am, becoming the first visitor of the day. She recorded her quiet and peaceful entry in a video, calling it “one of the most magical experiences” of her life.
As she walked through the empty grounds, Krista was moved by the calmness and beauty around her. “This is the most magical thing I have seen in my life. We are the first ones here. Nobody else is here other than us,” she said in the clip, clearly overwhelmed by the rare moment.
With the help of a local guide, Krista explored freely, soaking in the soft light and morning sounds. In her caption, she wrote, “Just the sound of birds waking to the rising sun, the Taj Mahal grounds completely empty of tourists. Not a soul in sight. It was like a dream.”
She said it felt like stepping into a fairytale: “Running around the Taj Mahal at 5 am like a princess.” Her guide, Don, made sure they were first in line and helped her take beautiful photos during the peaceful morning.
Sharing her feelings later, Krista wrote, “He whisked us around so we could arrive in the grounds completely alone. He took us to all of the best photo spots and made the most incredible pictures for us. Honestly, I cried when I realised how beautiful the images were.”

One user wrote, "That guy in your video is called Don, he clicks beautiful pictures and very sweet man." "It's always best to visit tourist places early in the morning as the first guest. No crowd. Full of aesthetics. Enjoy the architecture. Live the moment," a second user added. "The Majesty it still holds is impeccable! Just imagine 200 to 300 years back when humans were not used to seeing such huge buildings," added a third user. "Taj Mahal is more beautiful.. You added your positive vibe to it. Thanking someone shows humility," added another user.
"I was fortunate enough to meet Don Bhai, as he likes to introduce himself, when I visited the Taj Mahal about 3 years ago. And he got me some stunning points/ angles for pictures of The Taj," a fifth user wrote. "Our Cab driver from Delhi to Agra suggested we do the same thing and we booked an online slot accordingly..Trust me when I'm saying this waking up at 3 am to visit Taj and being the first 5-6 people in the queue to enter Taj was worth the word "" WAH TAJ""!!! It's the most beautiful thing to witness with the daylight blooming in and the sun rising," added another user.
