4 Day Golden Triangle Tour
The 4 Day Golden Triangle Tour is the ideal way to explore the heart of North India, visiting Delhi, Agra, and Jaipur in a well-paced and immersive adventure. With an extra day compared to the popular 3-day option, this tour provides for more in-depth research and a more relaxing travel experience, providing the best balance of history, culture, architecture, and local life.

Your tour begins in Delhi, India's thriving city that blends the ancient and modern. On your first day, discover the attractions of Old Delhi, beginning with the majestic Jama Masjid and continuing through the chaotic beauty of Chandni Chowk. Enjoy an exciting rickshaw ride through the tight streets while sampling some of Delhi's famed street food.

You will then see the Red Fort (from the exterior) before heading to Raj Ghat, Mahatma Gandhi's peaceful monument. As you enter New Delhi, behold the colonial grandeur of India Gate, Rashtrapati Bhawan, and Parliament House. You will also see Humayun's Tomb and the majestic Qutub Minar, both UNESCO World Heritage Sites that showcase Delhi's rich Mughal history.

After a relaxing overnight stay in Delhi, your Day 2 will begin with a trip to Agra, location of the famed Taj Mahal. Upon arrival, check into your accommodation and prepare to view India's crown treasure. A guided tour of the Taj Mahal in the warm afternoon light displays its unparalleled beauty and the love story behind its construction. Built by Emperor Shah Jahan for his wife Mumtaz Mahal, this white marble mausoleum represents eternal love.

Explore the spectacular Agra Fort, a beautiful stronghold that served as the Mughal rulers' primary residence. Its palaces, audience halls, and gardens provide breathtaking views of the Taj Mahal from afar. Many packages include a visit to Mehtab Bagh, a riverbank park with beautiful sunset views of the Taj Mahal.

On Day 3, travel to Jaipur, the capital of Rajasthan and renowned as the Pink City. En route, see Fatehpur Sikri, an abandoned Mughal city renowned for its architectural splendour and the famed Buland Darwaza. Once in Jaipur, check into your accommodation and spend the evening visiting local markets or tasting authentic Rajasthani food.

The final day is spent visiting Jaipur's regal past. Begin with a visit to the Amber Fort, which is set on a hill and accessible via jeep or elephant ride. The fort's beautiful hallways, mirrored ceilings, and expansive views make it a must-see.

Continue to the City Palace, which still houses the previous royal family, and explore its museums, courtyards, and architectural grandeur. Next, visit the Jantar Mantar, an astronomical observatory with gigantic instruments that are still accurate today. A visit to the Hawa Mahal, with its 953 tiny windows designed for royal women to see street life, is an excellent photo opportunity.

Before returning to Delhi, spend some time shopping at Jaipur's bustling bazaars, which are known for handicrafts, jewels, fabrics, and traditional apparel.

Most 4 Day Golden Triangle Tour packages include private air-conditioned transportation, breakfast-included hotels, expert English-speaking guides, monument admission fees, and the ability to customise the itinerary.
