Overview

Embarking on the Golden Triangle tour in India is like stepping into the very essence of the country’s heritage. This tour in India combines Delhi, Agra, and Jaipur, all three cities that reflect the rich heritage of India through its rich history, stunning architecture, and vibrant culture.

The Golden Triangle tour begins in Delhi, where the echoes of the majestic empires linger in every corner. From the grandeur of the Red Fort and Qutub Minar to the peacefulness of Raj Ghat and Humayun’s Tomb, you get to witness the city’s layered past. A rickshaw ride through Chandni Chowk or a stroll at India Gate offers a glimpse of Delhi’s vibrant everyday life. From here, the journey continues to Agra, home to the world-famous Taj Mahal. Watching this white marble wonder at sunrise is a memory that will last forever with you. Alongside it, Agra Fort and Fatehpur Sikri transport visitors into the Mughal era, showcasing the craftsmanship and vision of a glorious past.

The final chapter unfolds in Jaipur, the Pink City, where royal palaces and forts narrate tales of kings and queens. Amber Fort’s hilltop beauty, the jharokas (small windows) of Hawa Mahal, and the grandeur of City Palace will leave you spellbound. The city’s bustling bazaars, filled with jewelry, textiles, and handicrafts, will mark a colorful end to your journey.

Choosing our Golden Triangle tour package from Delhi will ensure that you don’t just see India; you truly experience its heart.

Itinerary

Upon arrival in Delhi, our representative will meet you at the airport and assist you through the check-in process at the hotel. Stay overnight at the hotel.

In the morning we set out for a sightseeing tour in Delhi. Begin with Raj Ghat, a memorial dedicated to Mahatma Gandhi, located on the banks of the Yamuna River. Nearby is Shanti Vana, the cremation site of India’s first Prime Minister, Jawaharlal Nehru. And then we visit Jama Masjid, one of the largest mosques in India, built by Emperor Shah Jahan in the 17th century, capable of holding over 25,000 worshippers at a time.

Drive past the imposing Red Fort, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, known for its massive red sandstone walls, and the bustling lanes of Chandni Chowk, a historic marketplace dating back to the Mughal era.

In the afternoon, visit Qutub Minar, the world’s tallest brick minaret at 73 m, initiated by Qutub-ud-Din Aibak in 1199 and completed by his successors. Next is Humayun’s Tomb, another UNESCO site, which served as inspiration for later Mughal architecture, including the Taj Mahal. Continue to India Gate, a 42-m-high war memorial honoring soldiers who died in World War I.

Later, we will visit the Lakshminarayan Temple, popularly known as Birla Mandir, a modern Hindu temple inaugurated by Mahatma Gandhi in 1939 and dedicated to Lord Vishnu and Goddess Lakshmi.

The tour also includes a drive past the grand President’s House, Parliament House, Government Secretariat buildings, and Connaught Place, one of Delhi’s most famous shopping and commercial hubs. Stay overnight at the hotel.

We will drive to Agra from Delhi today, with a brief stop at Sikandra, the site of Emperor Akbar’s tomb, known for its blend of Hindu, Islamic, and Persian architectural styles. Upon arrival in Agra, our representative will meet you and assist with the hotel check-in process.

Later, proceed to visit the Agra Fort, a UNESCO World Heritage Site built by Emperor Akbar in 1565. Within its massive red sandstone walls lie remarkable structures such as the Pearl Mosque, Diwan-e-Am (Hall of Public Audience), and Diwan-e-Khas (Hall of Private Audience), which reflect the artistic brilliance of the Mughal era. And later we stay overnight at the hotel in Agra.

In the morning, we visit the famous Taj Mahal, built by Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his wife, Mumtaz Mahal. This iconic monument looks even more ethereal with the morning light falling on it. The afternoon is free for you to explore the city at your own pace. Stay overnight at the hotel in Agra.

After breakfast, we head towards Jaipur with a stop en route at Fatehpur Sikri. Built by Emperor Akbar, it is one of the great examples of Mughal architecture. Though much of the city is now in ruins, it still remains a must visit if you are exploring Agra. Spend some time wandering through its historic structures, and don’t miss the captivating sight of the sunset over the fort’s ancient walls. Upon arrival in Jaipur, check-in into the hotel for an overnight stay.

Today, in your Jaipur sightseeing tour, the first stop is Amber/Amer Fort, which once served as the capital of the region. The fort is known for its artistic Hindu-style architecture and scenic hilltop location. Inside you can explore the Sheesh Mahal (Hall of Victory), a chamber decorated with countless mirror pieces that sparkle with even the faintest light. Visitors traditionally ascend the fort on an elephant back, adding a royal touch to the experience.

In the afternoon, continue with a sightseeing tour of Jaipur and visit the City Palace, which showcases Rajput and Mughal architectural styles, and the Jantar Mantar Observatory, a UNESCO World Heritage Site featuring remarkable outdoor astronomical instruments. Stroll through the landscaped Ram Niwas Gardens, and drive past the iconic Hawa Mahal, with its unique honeycomb façade of 953 windows designed for royal women to observe the streets below. Later, return to your hotel in Jaipur for an overnight stay.

After breakfast, we drive back from Jaipur to Delhi, with a stop en route for lunch. Upon arrival in the capital city, check into the hotel and spend the rest of the day at leisure.
