5 Day Golden Triangle Tour
The 5-day Golden Triangle Tour is the ideal introduction to India's rich history, beautiful architecture, and vibrant culture. This tour, which visits the historic cities of Delhi, Agra, and Jaipur, provides an ideal balance of sightseeing, cultural activities, and free time. With five full days at your disposal, you may explore each city at your leisure, delve deeper into its distinct charm, and make memories to last a lifetime.

Your tour begins in Delhi, India's capital, where centuries of history merge with modern life. When you arrive, your guide and driver will greet you and assist you in checking into your hotel, preparing you for a wonderful day of exploring. Visit ancient sights in Old Delhi, such as Jama Masjid and Raj Ghat (the cremation site of Mahatma Gandhi), and enjoy a thrilling rickshaw ride through the bustling lanes of Chandni Chowk.

Later, tour New Delhi, which is noted for its colonial-era architecture and wide boulevards. Drive via India Gate, Parliament House, and Rashtrapati Bhawan to the stately Humayun's Tomb and Qutub Minar, both of which are UNESCO World Heritage sites. After a productive day, head to your hotel for an overnight stay.

On Day 2, you'll journey to Agra, the city of love and home of the world-famous Taj Mahal. After checking in, visit the Taj Mahal around sunset, when the monument shines with golden light. A guided tour exposes Shah Jahan and Mumtaz Mahal's painful yet beautiful story, as well as the architectural brilliance that created this world wonder.

Your next destination is the Agra Fort, a vast red sandstone fortification with palaces, audience halls, and lovely gardens. Some packages may also include a visit to Itmad-ud-Daulah's Tomb, often known as the "Baby Taj," and Mehtab Bagh, a tranquil garden with a breathtaking rear view of the Taj Mahal across the Yamuna River.

Day 3 takes you from Agra to Jaipur, with an en-route stop at Fatehpur Sikri, an abandoned Mughal city with exquisite architecture including as the Buland Darwaza and Salim Chishti's mausoleum. Arrive in Jaipur in the evening and relax at your hotel or visit the surrounding marketplaces, which are famed for traditional Rajasthani handicrafts.

On Day 4, experience Jaipur's imperial splendour. Begin your day with a trip to Amber Fort, where you can ride a jeep or elephant up to the magnificent stronghold. Explore the Sheesh Mahal (Mirror Palace), Diwan-i-Aam, and other vast halls that reflect the Rajput monarchs' splendour.

Then visit the City Palace, which is still a royal palace and houses museums that display royal family weapons, costumes, and artefacts. Visit the neighbouring Jantar Mantar, an 18th-century astronomical observatory, and the picturesque Hawa Mahal (Palace of Winds), which is noted for its pink sandstone exterior and delicate latticework.

In the evening, attend a traditional Rajasthani cultural presentation or a meal with folk dancing at a heritage restaurant. Jaipur's vibrant markets, which are well-known for their jewellery, textiles, and blue pottery, are ideal for souvenir shopping.

Day 5 is your return to Delhi, either directly or via optional stops, depending on your choices and schedule. You can relax at your hotel, take a flight/train, or even prolong your tour if you want to visit more places.
