Delhi, Agra & Jaipur Golden Triangle
A classic loop from Delhi to the Taj Mahal and the Pink City, perfect for first-time visitors to North India.
A loop connecting three iconic cities. The pace is fast but transfers are minimal: spend two nights in Delhi exploring the Old and New cities, one night in Agra for the Taj Mahal sunrise, and two nights in Jaipur to see Amber Fort and the Old City. The entire trip can be done by chartered car, or partially by train. This itinerary focuses on the highlights of Delhi and Jaipur, making it ideal for first-timers with limited time.
The Taj Mahal is closed to regular tourists on Fridays; plan your itinerary to avoid this day.
