Hi. The tickets are separated in Before Noon ( morning ) hours and evening . The morning ticket is valid from 6.00 AM to 12.00 PM. And the evening ones are valid from 12.00 to about 6.00 ( I am not sure since I didn’t avail of it ). Not for three hours - for sure. But you possibly can’t spend more than 6 hours in the area anyways. Also do buy the ticket including the Mousoleum otherwise you won’t be allowed to go inside the main structure. Hope this helps.

Night charges are also mentioned at the booking website but this is a limited option and available on some days only. I would suggest that for night trips, best to avail the services of local tour operators & check with them as they know best and it will help enhance your sightseeing experience. The booking website will show you all the options and details or your tour operator will provide all the information. Most of the tour operators at Agra are very professional and provide a satisfying service, if you can plan & connect with them in advance.
