Golden Triangle Tour — 5 Nights / 6 Days
Tour Overview
The classic circuit, in full. Our Golden Triangle Tour over 5 nights and 6 days is our most in-depth take on India’s most loved route — two unhurried nights each in Delhi and Jaipur, and an Agra leg rich enough to see the Taj Mahal at both sunset and sunrise.
Beyond the headline wonders you’ll add the spectacular Akshardham temple, the marble jewel-box of the Itimad-ud-Daulah (Baby Taj), the mighty Agra Fort, the ancient Abhaneri Stepwell and the palaces of the Pink City — all in a private air-conditioned car with an expert English-speaking guide, with airport transfers and a hotel of your chosen standard each night.
For an honest take on the longer itinerary, read our guide 6 Days in the Golden Triangle. Prefer something shorter? See our 5-day tour; or extend with Ranthambore, Varanasi or Kashmir.

Arrival in Delhi
Our driver meets you at Delhi International Airport, holding a placard with your name, and transfers you to your hotel. Check in and relax after your journey — the rest of the day is yours to rest and rejuvenate.
Full day sightseeing in Old & New Delhi
After breakfast, your guide leads a full day across the capital: the majestic Jama Masjid and a thrilling rickshaw ride through Chandni Chowk, Raj Ghat, the modern Lotus Temple and the serene Gurudwara Bangla Sahib.
Drive through New Delhi for panoramic views of the Red Fort, India Gate, Parliament House and the President’s House before returning to your hotel to unwind.
Delhi to Agra — Akshardham, Baby Taj & Taj at sunset
After breakfast and check-out, drive to Agra via the Yamuna Expressway, pausing at the magnificent Akshardham temple with its intricate carvings and serene grounds. Check in at your Agra hotel and refresh.
In the evening, schedule permitting, visit the exquisite Itimad-ud-Daulah (Baby Taj) with its delicate marble inlay, then head to the riverside for a breathtaking sunset view of the Taj Mahal glowing in the evening light.
Taj Mahal at sunrise, Agra Fort & on to Jaipur
Begin early with the Taj Mahal at sunrise, one of the Seven Wonders of the World, then return to your hotel for breakfast. Visit the grand Agra Fort, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, with the option of lunch at a popular restaurant such as Pinch of Spice.
Drive towards Jaipur, stopping en route at the fascinating Abhaneri Stepwell (Chand Baori), one of the deepest and most beautiful stepwells in India, before checking into your Jaipur hotel.
A full day in Jaipur, the Pink City
After breakfast, explore the hilltop Amber Fort (optional elephant ride to the gates), the City Palace and the Jantar Mantar royal observatory, with photo stops at the Hawa Mahal and the lakeside Jal Mahal.
Spend time in Jaipur’s colourful markets — traditional crafts, gemstones and jewellery — before returning to your hotel to unwind.
Jaipur to Delhi — departure
After breakfast and check-out, enjoy a comfortable drive back to Delhi. Depending on your flight schedule, we drop you at Delhi International Airport for your onward journey — the end of a memorable Golden Triangle tour.
