Golden Triangle Tours
India’s classic Delhi–Agra–Jaipur circuit — at every length from 3 to 7 days, plus themed extensions to Ranthambore, Varanasi, Kashmir, Rajasthan and the Chambal safari.
India’s Classic Circuit, Done Properly
The Golden Triangle is India’s most loved tourist route — a loop linking the layered history of Delhi, the Mughal romance of Agra (home to the Taj Mahal), and the royal colour of Jaipur. Three cities, three very different moods, and the most efficient way to see the best of North India in a single trip.
Our Golden Triangle Tours are fully private, designed and operated by a local Agra-based team with over 15 years guiding international travellers. Every itinerary travels in a private air-conditioned vehicle with an expert English-speaking guide, and you choose your hotel category (3, 4 or 5-star) for each night. Prefer to add Ranthambore tigers, Varanasi’s ghats or the Kashmir Valley? We have themed extensions for that too.
