Golden Triangle — Delhi · Agra · Jaipur

India's Most Iconic Circuit

Golden Triangle

Delhi · Agra · Jaipur

October – March
5–7 days

The Golden Triangle is the perfect introduction to India — three cities, three eras, three entirely different worlds. Delhi pulses with 3,000 years of layered history: Mughal mosques, colonial boulevards, and a chaotic, intoxicating street life. Agra is home to the Taj Mahal, the most beautiful building ever constructed, best seen at sunrise when the marble glows pink and gold. Jaipur, the Pink City, is a living museum of Rajput architecture — amber forts, painted havelis, and bazaars overflowing with gemstones and textiles. Together, they form the most visited travel circuit in Asia.

Things to Do

1

Taj Mahal at Sunrise

Arrive before the gates open for the most peaceful, golden-lit experience of the Taj. The marble changes colour from pink to white as the sun rises.

2

Old Delhi Rickshaw Tour

Weave through the narrow lanes of Chandni Chowk, past Jama Masjid, the spice market, and Paranthe Wali Gali — a sensory overload in the best possible way.

3

Amber Fort, Jaipur

Perched on a hillside above Maota Lake, Amber Fort is a masterpiece of Rajput architecture. The Sheesh Mahal (Hall of Mirrors) is breathtaking.

4

Fatehpur Sikri

Akbar's abandoned capital, frozen in time since 1585. The Buland Darwaza is one of the largest gateways in the world.
