Enchanting Golden Triangle Tour: 06 Nights & 07 Days

Overview
India's Golden Triangle comprises of the three most visited cities in the country's north-west - Delhi, Agra and Jaipur, which are all connected to each other by good roads and rail links. On the map, these form a roughly equilateral triangle, some 200-250 km along each side. This triangle has been dubbed "golden" for the extraordinary wealth of cultural and historical splendour on offer in each of the three cities. Jaipur, capital of the largely desert state of Rajasthan, is home to some of Asia's best bazaars. You could spend weeks in Delhi, the sprawling, fascinating Indian capital, and not see it all, while Agra, once the heart of the Moghul empire, boasts of the unparalleled beauty of the Taj Mahal, which adorns the banks of the Yamuna river. The Golden Triangle is a classic introduction to India: if you've never been to the subcontinent before, start here.

Detailed Itinerary

  • Day 01 – Arrival New Delhi
Upon arrival at Delhi International Airport, you will be welcomed by a Globe Travel Centre representative and transferred to your hotel. Immensely old yet gleamingly modern; Delhi is a city with wide open spaces with bungalows and gardens at one end and narrow streets overflowing with shops and houses and people at the other. Delhi is an interesting melting pot of different cultures, and earns its place rightfully as the capital of the country. Relax and unwind at your hotel on your first day. Overnight at the Claridges.
  • Day 02 – New Delhi
Today, immerse yourself in the vibrant contrast that is Delhi—where the ancient meets the modern. After breakfast at the hotel, your journey begins with a visit to the magnificent Jama Masjid, India’s largest mosque, built in the 17th century. Its grand marble domes and towering minarets make for a striking sight. Next, experience the heart of Old Delhi with a rickshaw ride through the lively lanes of Chandni Chowk, known for its bustling bazaars and colorful shops. Drive past the iconic Red Fort, a symbol of India’s rich history. In the afternoon, discover Humayun’s Tomb, a 16th-century masterpiece and the inspiration behind the Taj Mahal. Surrounded by lush gardens, it offers a peaceful retreat amidst the city’s hustle and bustle. The evening is free for you to explore at your leisure. Overnight at the Claridges.
  • Day 03 – Delhi - Agra (210 KM/ 4 HRS)
After breakfast proceed to Agra, home to the magnificent Taj and on arrival check into the hotel. Agra was the seat of the Imperial Mughal court during the 16th and 17th centuries before the capital was shifted to Delhi. The city located on the banks of the Yamuna and along the Grand Trunk Road flourished under the patronage of the Mughal emperors. Globally known as the city of the Taj Mahal, this royal Mughal city has, in addition to the legendary Taj, many other monuments that epitomize the high point of Mughal architecture. Later in the afternoon visit the Itmad-ud-Daulah's Tomb, lyrically described as a "jewel box in marble". Spend the evening at leisure. Overnight at the IHCL Tajview.
  • Day 04 – Agra
Start the day with a sunrise visit to the iconic Taj Mahal, a UNESCO World Heritage site and a timeless symbol of love, built by Emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his wife Mumtaz Mahal. This architectural masterpiece, adorned with intricate designs and semi-precious stones, took 22 years and 20,000 workers to complete. There are few words that can describe the magnificence of this monument. Marvel as the lights and colours transform this stunning monument in the beautiful morning glow. Later, visit the Agra Fort, another UNESCO World Heritage site, before spending the rest of the day at leisure. Overnight at the IHCL Tajview.
  • Day 05 – Agra - Jaipur (260 kms / 5.5 Hrs)
After breakfast, drive to Jaipur, visiting Fatehpur Sikri en route—the 16th-century capital of the Mughal rulers, built entirely of sandstone. The city was the result of the vision of the great emperor Akbar, who aimed to build a capital city that the world would remember, but it was later abandoned due to water scarcity. Today, one can still see the genius of Akbar's vision in the beautiful ramparts. Continue your drive to Jaipur. Upon arrival, check into your hotel. Surrounded by mighty Rajasthan forts and the rugged Aravalli Hills, Jaipur is one of the most enticing places in India. A labyrinth of fascinating bazaars, opulent palaces, and historic sights, Jaipur is often called the 'Pink City' because of the color of the houses here. Overnight at the Alsisar Haveli.
  • Day 06 – Jaipur
After breakfast visit the fascinating 11th century Amber Fort set on the majestic Aravali Hills. Enjoy a jeep ride up to the fort where you can discover ingenuity of the fort's architecture. Later, visit the sprawling City Palace which was an integral part of King Raja Sawai Jai Singh II's new city of Jaipur. Today it is a museum that displays some of the finest collection of paintings, costumes, carpets and armoury of that period. Nearby is the ornate Hawa Mahal also called the 'Palace of Winds'. Timeless bazaars full of vibrant textiles and trinkets form an integral part of the city centre. Immerse yourself in the sensory whirl of streets packed with camel carts and cycle-rickshaws, which make Jaipur a dazzling, spirited city like no other. Overnight at the Alsisar Haveli.
  • Day 07 – Jaipur – Delhi (285 kms/ 6 hrs)
After enjoying breakfast at the hotel, you will be transferred to Delhi.

When Should I go?

The months of September through to March are considered to be favourable months to travel to India. September has the added advantage of being in the “good weather” bracket but also technically falls in the off season in most places, so prices are cheaper for travel in September. The months of October through to February are pleasant in most parts of the country, though you will find the temperatures varying between chilly in the North and warmer in the southern parts of the country.

India’s weather is varied and different parts of the country may get monsoons at different times. May and June are hot months across the country except for the hill stations in the North.
