There's a reason the Golden Triangle has become the classic first tour of India for travellers around the world.
In one trip, it delivers three of the country's most iconic cities, Delhi, Agra and Jaipur, each offering something entirely different, yet together forming a complete introduction to India's history, culture and everyday life.
Delhi: Where Old Meets New
Your journey begins in Delhi, a city that wears its layers of history openly. Wander through the narrow lanes of Old Delhi, where Mughal-era mosques and bazaars buzz with life, then step into New Delhi's wide boulevards, colonial architecture and government buildings. The Red Fort, Jama Masjid and Humayun's Tomb offer a glimpse into centuries of empire, while Delhi's street food scene, from butter chicken to golgappas gives you a taste of the city's everyday rhythm.
Agra: Home of the Taj Mahal
No trip to India feels complete without standing before the Taj Mahal and Agra delivers that moment in full. Arriving early to watch the marble mausoleum turn shades of pink and gold as the sun rises is an experience that stays with you long after the trip ends. Beyond the Taj, Agra Fort and the abandoned city of Fatehpur Sikri round out a city steeped in Mughal history.
Jaipur: The Pink City
The final stop, Jaipur, trades marble for sandstone and brings colour into the mix. Known as the Pink City for its distinctive rose-hued buildings, Jaipur is home to the Amber Fort, the City Palace and the wonderfully quirky Hawa Mahal or "Palace of Winds." It's also a shopper's paradise with markets full of textiles, jewellery and handicrafts that make for the perfect souvenirs.
