The Classic Golden Triangle

Delhi, Agra and Jaipur in one unforgettable week

7 Days / 6 Nights North India · Delhi, Agra, Jaipur from $950 per person
The Taj Mahal in Agra seen from its Mughal gardens on a Golden Triangle tour

Tour overview

This iconic 7-day journey is the perfect introduction to India's rich history and culture. Begin in Delhi, exploring the contrast between the bustling streets of Old Delhi and the stately avenues of New Delhi. Travel to Agra to witness the breathtaking beauty of the Taj Mahal at sunrise and explore the formidable Agra Fort. Conclude in Jaipur, the "Pink City", where you'll discover magnificent palaces like the Hawa Mahal and the grand Amber Fort.

The three cities form a near-perfect triangle on the map, each roughly 4 to 5 hours apart by road, so you spend your days sightseeing rather than travelling. A private air-conditioned car with a driver is at your disposal for the entire week and a different English-speaking local guide meets you in every city. Accommodation is in comfortable 4-star hotels, and every morning starts with breakfast included. This tour is a vibrant tapestry of history, architecture and culture, and it is our most booked package for first-time visitors.
