The Golden Triangle in North India symbolizes the three pinnacles of culture, heritage and metamorphosis – the capital city of New Delhi, the home of the iconic symbol of love – Agra and the capital of the regal land of desert – Jaipur. The perfect way for India to introduce herself to you in all her glory.

Start your discovery of the Indian Golden Triangle by visiting the heritage monuments from the Mughal Era scattered across these three cities. You can explore the multiple forts, palaces and structures built by different rulers in Delhi, Agra, Fatehpur Sikri and Jaipur.

On this Golden Triangle tour, you will get to explore the two contrasting personas of Delhi, Old and New Delhi, with their distinct characters. After Delhi, embark upon your journey to the “Pink City”, Jaipur. Have a day of discovery with a cycling tour and en route see the Palace of the Winds. Your final destination is to see the most romantic monument and symbol of eternal love, the biggest tribute made by a lover to his beloved: The Taj Mahal.

Start your day exploring New Delhi; visit Hamuyan's Tomb and the Lodhi Gardens. On the way to shop at Khanna Market, witness the spectacular street art in the Lodhi Art District. Next, meet your guide for an Old Delhi street food tour. While sampling the best of Delhi’s local specialities at our favourite vendors, learn about Delhi’s history and absorb the hustle and bustle of the streets as you visit different locations by rickshaw. When full from eating delicious food, take a rest back at your hotel to prepare for the next step of your Golden Triangle tour tomorrow.
Day 3 | Delhi - Jaipur
Today your driver will pick you up for your journey to Jaipur. On the way, enjoy an amazing lunch and tour at a 553-year-old medieval Fort-Palace built on the Aravalli hills. This Fort Palace takes you on a grand experience which truly transports you back into the past five centuries in India (if you desire, an overnight at the fort can also be arranged). Journey on and arrive in the evening at your Heritage Hotel in Jaipur, where members of the erstwhile ruling family welcome you personally as their honoured guest.
Day 4 | Jaipur
After breakfast, take a jeep to visit the imposing Amber Fort. The fort’s majestic appearance and its geographical advantages make it a special place to visit.

In the afternoon, explore the Pink City by rickshaw and visit the city monuments including the City Palace and local street markets. Overnight at a hotel in Jaipur.
Day 5 | Jaipur - Agra

After cycling, enjoy breakfast back at your hotel before departing with your driver on to Agra. Stop by the Abhaneri Stepwell and upon arrival at your hotel in Agra, get your first glimpse of the iconic Taj Mahal.
Day 6 | Agra - Delhi
Wake up at dawn to witness one of the highlights of your trip! At sunrise, the marble of the Taj Mahal encrusted with precious stones is shaded with golden tones, revealing like a mirage, one of the seven wonders of the world. Be dazzled by the beauty of this tomb which was built by the Mughal emperor Shah Jehan in the image of his deceased queen, an enduring monument to love. After breakfast, drive back to Delhi. Overnight at a hotel in Delhi.
Delhi International Airport
