If you want to experience the essence of India — its vibrant culture, royal heritage, and architectural marvels — there’s no better itinerary than India’s Golden Triangle: Discover Delhi, Agra & Jaipur in 6 Days. This iconic route covers three of North India’s most celebrated cities, each offering a unique blend of history, beauty, and unforgettable experiences.

Day 1: Arrive in Delhi – A Tale of Two Cities

Start your journey in Delhi, a city where the ancient and modern worlds collide. Begin with a tour of Old Delhi: explore the bustling lanes of Chandni Chowk, visit Jama Masjid, one of the largest mosques in India, and take a rickshaw ride through history.

Later, head to New Delhi to marvel at India Gate, Rashtrapati Bhavan, and Humayun’s Tomb — a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Don’t miss the Qutub Minar, another iconic landmark. Enjoy a traditional North Indian dinner at a local restaurant to wrap up your first day.

Day 2: Delhi to Agra – Mughal Majesty Awaits

On Day 2, drive to Agra (approx. 3.5–4 hours). Your first stop is the Agra Fort, a red sandstone masterpiece that once served as the main residence of the Mughal emperors. Then visit Mehtab Bagh, a serene garden across the Yamuna River, for a twilight view of the Taj Mahal.

Rest up — tomorrow’s sunrise will be unforgettable.

Day 3: The Taj Mahal & Journey to Jaipur

Wake early to visit the Taj Mahal at sunrise. A symbol of eternal love and one of the New Seven Wonders of the World, this white marble mausoleum is best experienced in the morning’s soft light.

After breakfast, begin your drive to Jaipur (approx. 5 hours), stopping at Fatehpur Sikri, an abandoned Mughal city known for its red sandstone architecture and mystical aura.

Arrive in Jaipur by evening and check into your hotel. Consider a leisurely dinner at a traditional Rajasthani haveli.

Day 4: Jaipur – The Pink City’s Royal Grandeur

Start your day with a visit to the majestic Amber Fort, riding up the ramparts on a jeep or (optionally) an elephant. Explore the palace’s courtyards, mirror work, and sweeping views of Maota Lake.

Next, admire the iconic Hawa Mahal (Palace of Winds) and visit the City Palace, still home to the royal family. Don’t miss Jantar Mantar, a UNESCO-listed astronomical observatory.

In the evening, shop for colorful textiles, handmade jewelry, and local crafts at Johari Bazaar or enjoy a cultural dinner with folk music and dance.

Day 5: Jaipur to Delhi – Reflect & Relax

After a relaxed breakfast, begin your return journey to Delhi. Along the way, enjoy the scenic countryside dotted with rural life and camel carts.

Once back in Delhi, spend your final evening at leisure — maybe enjoy street food in Connaught Place or visit Kingdom of Dreams in nearby Gurgaon for a theatrical Bollywood-style show.

Day 6: Departure

Your 6-day whirlwind tour of India’s Golden Triangle: Discover Delhi, Agra & Jaipur in 6 Days comes to an end. Depending on your flight schedule, squeeze in some last-minute shopping or enjoy a local breakfast before heading to the airport.
