3 Days in India's Golden Triangle, incl. Delhi and Agra
The route covers Delhi's monuments, Agra's Taj Mahal at sunrise, and Jaipur's Amber Fort. Marvel at 3 UNESCO sites including Fatehpur Sikri, with 2 nights in deluxe hotels, breakfast included, and private AC transport throughout.
- Day 1
Delhi to Agra
Begin your morning in Delhi with some sightseeing. Stop at India Gate and see the President's House and Parliament building. Visit Humayun's Tomb, which shows the architectural style that influenced the Taj Mahal. Take the 3-hour drive to Agra on the Yamuna Expressway around noon. A traveler tip: "Ask your driver to stop at the midway point for fresh samosas and masala chai - it breaks up the journey perfectly."
- Day 2
Agra to Jaipur
Get up early (5:30 AM) to see the Taj Mahal at sunrise. You'll get the best photos in the morning light and won't have to deal with big crowds. After you eat breakfast, visit Agra Fort to learn about the powerful Mughal Empire. On your way to Jaipur, make time to see Fatehpur Sikri, a city that was left behind. As one visitor shared: "Our guide explained how water scarcity forced an entire imperial city to be abandoned - it really brings history alive."
- Day 3
Jaipur to Delhi
Start your day at Amber Fort by 8:30 AM before it gets busy and hot. You can take an elephant ride up to the fort but book it ahead of time. Spend time at the City Palace and visit Jantar Mantar, an old observatory with fascinating instruments. A recent reviewer advised: "The steps at Amber Fort can be slippery - wear comfortable shoes with good grip, especially during monsoon season."
3 Day India's Golden Triangle Itinerary, incl. Delhi and Agra
A grand tour covering 600km across Delhi, Agra, and Jaipur awaits. The itinerary features 8 UNESCO sites including Qutub Minar, Taj Mahal, and Amber Fort, with expert guides and stays at 4-star hotels throughout.
- Day 1
Delhi Exploration
Start early in Delhi to explore both the old and new sections of the city. Visit Jama Masjid, India's biggest mosque, then walk through the bustling spice markets of Chandni Chowk. Get to Qutub Minar before 10 AM to avoid crowds and the midday heat. Spend your afternoon at Humayun's Tomb and India Gate. A recent visitor noted: "The historical significance of each site was impressive, especially the intricate architecture of the Red Fort. Our guide's knowledge made the history come alive."
- Day 2
Agra and the Taj Mahal
Leave Delhi early for the 4-hour trip to Agra. The best time to see the Taj Mahal is at sunrise when crowds are thin and the light is perfect. Remember to bring a shawl for the cool morning air and wear shoes you can easily take off at the entrance. After the Taj, visit Agra Fort and stop at Fatehpur Sikri on your way to Jaipur. One traveler shared: "Witnessing the Taj Mahal at sunrise was unforgettable - the soft light cast a magical glow over the white marble."
- Day 3
Jaipur's Royal Heritage
Head to Amber Fort by 8:30 AM to beat the lines. Spend your morning exploring the City Palace complex and Hawa Mahal. Use your afternoon to see the Jantar Mantar observatory and browse the local bazaars. "Don't miss the local handicraft shops in the old city, but be prepared to negotiate prices," suggests one visitor. Your journey ends with an evening drive back to Delhi.

The driver Ram Kumar and the guide Mr Prevesh made our trip excellent. We both warmly recommend it and would gladly come back with us on further tours.
- 3-Day Golden Triangle Tour: Delhi, Agra & Jaipur with Taj Mahal Sunrise from Delhi
It was an amazing recommendation from one of my friends to take a trip from GTTI (Golden Triangle Tours Of India). We contacted this operator and got an instant response which impressed us. Me and my wife had a big concern to choose the right operator for our very first trip to India but we got the best one. We booked the trip and honestly speaking the operator specifically kept in touch with us during our entire trip just to check whether everything is going in a right way or not. Hotels were fine, your guides was amazing , car was cleaned and well maintained, driver drive us everywhere safely. We felt very in the hand of Golden Triangle Tours Of India. We highly recommend this operator for any kind of India trip.
- Adventures Ranthambore Wildlife Safari Tour from Delhi with Safari Rides
The tour was fairly good but could use some improvement...I didn't receive any information before I went from Golden Triangle Tours, so we didn't know what was happening. I called TourRadar before we left to let them know this and they said info and vouchers etc would arrive via email but they never did. We were very disappointed on the first day as not only did our driver have no idea what we were supposed to be doing, but he spoke very little English, which was frustrating. Our first safari was in zone 8 (which as everyone had told us, was the worse zone to see tigers - our guides again spoke little to no English and didn't seem to care much - it was a very poor safari) and I had specifically asked Golden Triangle Tours that we wanted to go into the first zones. We had changed our trip dates to India so we could accommodation Ranthambhore and th possibly of seeing tigers. I called the local agent after the first tour and complained, telling him how poor the safari was. He then said he would try to get us into a better zone, which he did. Our next two safaris were good and the last safari (into Zone 1) was excellent, which a great guide. The hotel accommodate and breakfast included was good - the staff were friendly and helpful. It was a real pity that the start of the trip was poorly organised as it meant we weren't ever sure if what was advertised was going to happen. We did see a tiger on our last safari, which was a fabulous experience and really rescued the trip for us....however I don't think I would be recommending that my friends go to Ranthambhore with Golden Triangle - it was too hit and miss.
