Golden Triangle Tour — 2 Nights / 3 Days
Tour Overview
India’s classic first journey, perfectly paced. Our Golden Triangle Tour over 2 nights and 3 days links the country’s three most captivating cities — the layered history of Delhi, the Mughal romance of Agra, and the royal colour of Jaipur — into one seamless private trip from Delhi and back.
You’ll see the headline wonders — the Taj Mahal at sunrise, mighty Agra Fort, the hilltop Amber Fort and the Pink City’s palaces — travelling in a private air-conditioned car with an expert English-speaking guide, and resting each night in a hotel of your chosen standard. It’s the most efficient way to experience the best of North India when time is short.
Want a more relaxed pace or extra cities? Compare our longer 4-day and 5-day Golden Triangle tours, or add Ranthambore, Varanasi or Kashmir.

In the afternoon we drive to Agra along the Yamuna Expressway and check into your hotel to relax for the evening.
