The Golden Triangle connects Delhi, Agra and Jaipur and is one of the most accessible introductions to North India. A private car makes it easier to travel between hotels and monuments at your own pace.
Three days is possible for a fast trip, while four to six days provides a more comfortable experience. Longer itineraries can include Ranthambore, Varanasi, Udaipur or Amritsar.
In Delhi, travellers commonly visit India Gate, Humayun’s Tomb, Qutub Minar and Old Delhi. Agra highlights include the Taj Mahal, Agra Fort and Mehtab Bagh. Jaipur is known for Amber Fort, City Palace, Hawa Mahal and local markets.
October to March is the most popular period. Book guides, vehicles and well-located hotels in advance when travelling around Christmas, New Year or major festivals.
