India is a country rich in history, culture, and architectural beauty, and the Golden Triangle Tour 5 Days is the perfect way to experience all of this in one trip. This tour takes you to three of India's most famous cities—Delhi, Agra, and Jaipur—offering a well-rounded experience of the country's heritage.
Day 1: Delhi – Gateway to India
Your Golden Triangle Tour 5 Days begins in Delhi, India's bustling capital. This city is a mix of modernity and history, and your first day will be spent exploring both. Start with a visit to Raj Ghat, the memorial site of Mahatma Gandhi, before heading to Humayun's Tomb, an architectural precursor to the Taj Mahal.
Explore the wide avenues of New Delhi, stopping at the iconic India Gate and the Parliament House. After lunch, dive into the chaotic charm of Old Delhi with visits to the Red Fort and Jama Masjid, followed by a rickshaw ride through Chandni Chowk.
Day 2: Delhi to Agra – The City of Love
On the second day of the Golden Triangle Tour 5 Days, you'll head to Agra, where the magnificent Taj Mahal awaits. But first, visit the Agra Fort, a sprawling complex that once housed the Mughal emperors. The fort's elegant architecture and historical significance make it a must-visit.
In the late afternoon, visit the Taj Mahal, the crowning jewel of India. The marble mausoleum was built by Emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his beloved wife Mumtaz Mahal. Watching the sunset over the Taj is one of the most magical moments of the tour.
Day 3: Agra to Jaipur – Royalty and Ruins
As you travel from Agra to Jaipur on day three, make a stop at Fatehpur Sikri, a ghost town that was once the capital of the Mughal Empire. The city's red sandstone buildings are remarkably well-preserved, offering a fascinating glimpse into India's past.
Arrive in Jaipur and explore the City Palace, home to the royal family of Jaipur. The palace complex includes museums showcasing royal artifacts, and its design is a blend of Mughal and Rajasthani styles. Nearby, visit the Jantar Mantar, a collection of astronomical instruments from the 18th century.
Day 4: Jaipur – The Pink City
Your fourth day is dedicated to Jaipur's iconic landmarks. Start with the Amber Fort, a stunning fortress located on a hilltop. The fort's intricate design and expansive courtyards will leave you in awe. You can also enjoy an elephant ride up to the fort, a popular tourist experience.
Later, visit the Hawa Mahal, a striking pink palace with hundreds of windows, and the Jal Mahal, a beautiful water palace situated in the middle of Man Sagar Lake. Jaipur's vibrant markets are perfect for picking up traditional Rajasthani handicrafts.
Day 5: Jaipur to Delhi – Farewell to India
The final day of the Golden Triangle Tour 5 Days takes you back to Delhi. Spend the morning shopping for last-minute souvenirs or exploring any sights you may have missed. By the time you leave, you'll have experienced some of the best that India has to offer.
