With a stunning depiction of India’s Mughal heritage and rich cultural diversity, this trip attracts people from all over the world and features a great range of options, starting with the cultural monuments of Delhi, the stunning beauty of Agra and the incredible vibrancy of Jaipur. Though just a 4-day trip, the trip spans across some of the most beautiful and culturally diverse cities of India. 

Day 01: Explore the rich historical heritage of Delhi

The trip starts in Delhi with your arrival. Upon arrival, you can check out some of the amazingly beautiful hotels in the capital of the country, whether it is a luxury hotel or a budget option, you can find accommodations fitting every single type of budget in Delhi. Your Golden triangle tour for 4 days will start from the beautiful and majestic Red Fort, an absolutely stunning landmark, built in 1638. At a stone’s throw from Red Fort is the Jama Masjid, a monument crucial to Islamic history and culture. 

From Red Fort, you can go to the Humayun Tomb, an incredible example of the rich Mughal architecture, and explore the ruins of Qutub Minar. By the end of these trips, it will near the afternoon, when you can take a small trip down to the Lotus Temple and marvel at the impeccable architectural design, as well as have a moment of silence to explore the principles of the Bahá'í faith. After sightseeing, you can either retire to your hotel room or explore the rich diversity of Delhi’s cuisine and shopping scene at some of the popular markets, like Chandni Chowk or Khan Market.

Day 02: Revel in the vibrant beauty of Agra

On day two, the itinerary consists of a travel from Delhi to Agra. Upon your arrival, you will check into the hotel and freshen up. From there, you will travel to the incredibly beautiful Agra Fort. This historic fort offers many attractions, from the cultural significance of the incredible architecture to awe-inspiring stories of Kings and Queens, as well as museums of artifacts from the Mughal Era. From Agra Fort, you will be traveling to Akbar’s Tomb. With the incredible artistry of the Mughals on display, you will not be disappointed. While this trip does include a visit to Taj Mahal, which is best experienced on a trip solely dedicated to the monument, planned on a full moon’s night. You can look for options for the Taj Mahal day trip from Delhi.

In the afternoon, you will proceed to capture the beauty of the Seven Wonders of the World, the incredible Taj Mahal. The monument is absolutely breathtaking, and seems almost unreal, and is a magnificent example of Mughal architecture at its peak. From here, you can go on a small shopping trip and explore the handicrafts of local artisans before retiring to your hotel. To explore Agra further, you can also look for Delhi to Agra Taj Mahal tour packages.

Day 3: Time To Sightsee The Main Attractions Of Jaipur

From Agra, you can take an early start for the day’s trip and arrive at Jaipur. Jaipur, also known as the Pink City is full of attractions for tourists. After checking in to a hotel, you will commence on the day’s itinerary. The most important part of your Jaipur trip is a visit to the Amber Fort, a stunning blend of Hindu and Mughal architecture with beautiful gardens and check out the incredible beauty of the Sheesh Mahal, located within. From here, you will visit the Hawa Mahal, a beautiful example of architectural genius at play. After the Hawa Mahal, you can either retire to your hotel or (as we recommend) check out “Chowkidhani”. This attraction showcases the beautiful traditions of Rajasthan’s culture, with puppetry, dance, song and a plethora of dishes. You can enjoy a meal fit for the Kings, complementary with the entry ticket.

 Day 4: Discover The Unparalleled Beauty Of The Golden Triangle And More

This day, you will leave for Delhi from Jaipur, after experiencing the (optional, but highly recommended) early morning Elephant Ride at Amber Fort, a definite peak of the entire trip, and explore the fort’s streets in the early morning, before the rush of traffic takes over.

After this, you will leave for Delhi, thereby completing the Triangle and leaving with the sweet memories of a time well spent. Though it is a small trip, it will definitely leave you wanting to book more tickets to explore each of these incomparably beautiful places individually, in which case, you can book an Agra Jaipur tour from Delhi for longer periods of time.
