Golden Triangle tours
The Golden Triangle is India's most popular first trip: Delhi, Agra (the Taj Mahal) and Jaipur, three cities about 4–5 hours apart by road. Most travellers need 5 to 6 days for the classic loop; 4 days works if you are short on time, and 7–10 days lets you add a tiger safari in Ranthambore, the lakes of Udaipur, or the ghats of Varanasi.
Every tour below is private: your own air-conditioned car and driver for the whole trip, a licensed local guide in each city, and hotels you choose. We adjust the days, hotels and pace to you — then send a free quote within 24 hours.

Golden Triangle questions
5 to 6 days is ideal: 1–2 days in Delhi, 1 day in Agra for the Taj Mahal and Agra Fort, and 2 days in Jaipur. 4 days is possible but rushed. With 7–10 days you can add Ranthambore, Udaipur or Varanasi.
October to March, when days are warm and dry (around 20–28 °C). April to June is very hot (often above 40 °C); July to September is the monsoon — greener and quieter, with some rain most days.
By private car with your own driver: Delhi to Agra is about 3.5–4 hours on the Yamuna Expressway, Agra to Jaipur about 4–5 hours (stopping at Fatehpur Sikri or the Abhaneri stepwell), and Jaipur back to Delhi about 5 hours. Delhi–Agra can also be done on the Gatimaan Express train in under 2 hours.
No — the Taj Mahal is closed on Fridays. It opens from sunrise to sunset on other days; sunrise is the quietest and coolest time to visit. We plan your Agra day around this.
Yes. All our Golden Triangle tours are private: only your group in the car, with a licensed local guide in each city. You can change the dates, hotels and pace, and add or remove stops.
Popular additions are Ranthambore (tiger safari), Udaipur (lakes and palaces), Pushkar, Varanasi (Ganges ghats), Khajuraho, Amritsar (Golden Temple) and Kerala (backwaters). Each adds 1–3 days.
