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.
