Your Itinerary In Brief —
Follow the well-known route from Delhi, to Jaipur, to Agra, known as the ‘Golden Triangle’ in an incredible 7-night tour.
Begin your stay in colourful and wonderfully chaotic Delhi. Rickshaws, cows, and market-sellers jostle for space in the photogenic streets of Old Delhi, and temples provide welcome peace and quiet after the bustling streets.
Next up is picturesque Jaipur, renowned for its dizzyingly beautiful marble Amber Fort, containing a myriad of pretty gardens and charming courtyards. Admire the extraordinary Hawa Mahal with its pink-painted, heavily turreted facade, before moving on to Agra.
Medieval Agra contains the iconic Taj Mahal, and the whole city is testament to the grandeur of the Mughal empire, where today you’ll find as many lively markets ('chowks') as mausoleums.
