Golden Triangleof India

Depart from your home city via international flight to Delhi, India. Your adventure begins!

Arrival in Delhi by early morning international flight. Meeting and assistance upon arrival, followed by transfer to hotel for rest and breakfast.

Later, drive to Agra. In the afternoon, visit the Agra Fort and the legendary Taj Mahal.

The Taj Mahal was built by Shah Jahan in memory of his queen Mumtaz Mahal. This perfectly proportioned masterpiece in white marble is a testament to the skill of 20,000 craftsmen from Persia, Turkey, France and Italy who took 17 years to create this extraordinary monument of love. (Closed on Fridays.)

The Agra Fort contains the halls of private and public audiences and other palaces. Shah Jahan spent years of confinement here at the hands of his son Aurangzeb, gazing wistfully at the Taj Mahal from the Fort.

Check in, dinner and overnight at the hotel.

Morning after breakfast, drive to Fatehpur Sikri — the abandoned city built by Emperor Akbar, located 40 km from Agra. Akbar used it as his capital and the city was fully occupied for 14 years before being deserted due to scarcity of water.

Next, stop at Abhaneri village to admire the beautiful 16th-century step well (Bauli).

Proceed to Jaipur and check in at the hotel. Dinner and overnight.

Breakfast at hotel. After an early breakfast, proceed for a photo stop at Hawa Mahal (Palace of Winds), then continue to Amber Fort with an elephant ride (subject to availability).

Amber Fort is known for its artistic style and Rajput architecture, with large ramparts, a series of gates, and cobbled paths. The fort overlooks Maota Lake, once the main water source for the palace.

Later, visit the City Palace.

In the evening, enjoy a short ride through the colourful local markets of the Pink City by e-rickshaw.

Dinner and overnight at the hotel.

Morning after breakfast, drive back to Delhi.

Afternoon, visit Old Delhi: the magnificent Jama Masjid, one of India's largest mosques built by Shah Jahan between 1650–1656. All around lies Chandni Chowk (Moonlight Square) — one of the oldest and largest wholesale markets in India for clothes, spices, and dry fruits. From the mosque, admire the imposing Red Fort, designed by Shah Jahan's daughter Jahanara.

Drive past colonial buildings to Raj Path, a ceremonial boulevard running from the President's House through Vijay Chowk (Victory Square) and India Gate, a war memorial dedicated to 70,000 soldiers of the British Indian Army.

Later, visit the Qutub Complex, filled with exquisite monuments from the Delhi Sultanate dating back to the 12th century. The Qutub Minar is a spectacular minaret and "victory tower" — a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Drop at the hotel. End of tour services. The Festival begins the next day!
