Tour Plan
Arrive in Delhi | Old City to New City
Your guide meets you at the airport, railway station, or your Delhi hotel, no hunting for signs or haggling with taxis. After check-in, you'll dive straight into Old Delhi: the bustling lanes of Chandni Chowk, the towering Jama Masjid, the dignified stillness of Raj Ghat. From there, you'll cross into New Delhi Humayun's Tomb, Qutub Minar, the Lotus Temple, and a drive past Rashtrapati Bhavan and India Gate. You'll return to the hotel having seen more in one afternoon than most people manage in three days on their own.
Delhi to Agra | The Road to the Taj
After breakfast, you check out and make the comfortable drive to Agra in your private AC car. The afternoon belongs to a quieter side of Agra Mehtab Bagh, the riverside garden with a perfect sunset view of the Taj across the Yamuna, and Itimad-ud-Daulah, the delicate marble tomb that inspired the Taj Mahal itself. Overnight in Agra.
Note: The Taj Mahal is closed every Friday.
Agra | Sunrise at the Taj Mahal
Your driver picks you up at 6:00 AM. Yes, that's early. Yes, it's worth it. The Taj Mahal at dawn soft light, thin mist, far fewer crowds is one of those sights that genuinely lives up to the hype. After returning for breakfast and a rest, you'll head out again to explore Agra Fort and Sikandra (Akbar's Tomb). Overnight in Agra.
Agra to Jaipur | Fatehpur Sikri En Route
After breakfast, you check out and head toward Jaipur. On the way, you'll stop at Fatehpur Sikri, a UNESCO-listed Mughal city that Emperor Akbar built at the height of his power and abandoned just 15 years later. Walking through its empty palaces and grand courtyards, you'll understand why people call it the "Ghost City." Arrive in Jaipur by evening and check in to your hotel.
Jaipur | The Pink City in Full
A full day in Jaipur starts at Amber Fort, a stunning hilltop fortress reached by elephant ride, with interiors that reward every step. From there, you'll take in Hawa Mahal's famous honeycomb facade, drive past the serene Jal Mahal floating on Man Sagar Lake, then visit Jantar Mantar (a 300-year-old astronomical observatory that actually works) and the City Palace. Your guide will point you toward Jaipur's best local market streets before you wind down for the evening.
Jaipur to Delhi | Departure
After a final breakfast, your driver takes you back to Delhi for your onward flight or connection. The Golden Triangle Tour 5 Nights 6 Days ends here but the photos, the stories, and that sunrise Taj Mahal moment? Those go home with you.
