A Detailed And Quick Itinerary Of The Golden Triangle Tour For 4 Days:
At the beginning of your Golden Triangle Tour, our company representative will meet you at your desired location, either at the airport or your hotel in Delhi. After introductions, you will be briefed on the itinerary and destinations to explore. The tour starts with a visit to Old Delhi, where you'll explore its historical and cultural landmarks. We begin at Jama Masjid, the largest mosque in India, built by Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan. Next, we move to the grand Red Fort, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a symbol of India’s rich Mughal history.
After this, you’ll enjoy a rickshaw ride through the bustling lanes of Chandni Chowk, one of the oldest markets in Delhi, famous for its chaotic charm and street food. After lunch at a local restaurant, we proceed to explore the landmarks of New Delhi. Visit Qutub Minar, the world’s tallest brick minaret, and continue to India Gate and Rashtrapati Bhawan. Lastly, visit Humayun’s Tomb, an architectural marvel that influenced the design of the Taj Mahal.
In the evening, we drive to Agra via the Yamuna Expressway, arriving in approximately 3.5 hours. Upon arrival, check in at the hotel, enjoy dinner, and rest for the night.
Start your day early with a visit to the Taj Mahal at sunrise, one of the most enchanting times to witness its beauty. The Taj Mahal, built by Emperor Shah Jahan as a tribute to his beloved wife Mumtaz Mahal, stands as a symbol of eternal love. The soft glow of the rising sun over the white marble structure is breathtaking.
After this, return to your hotel for breakfast. Next, visit Agra Fort, a UNESCO World Heritage Site that served as the primary residence of the Mughal emperors until the capital moved to Delhi. Within the fort, explore the palaces, mosques, and courtyards, including Diwan-i-Am and Diwan-i-Khas.
After exploring Agra, drive towards Fatehpur Sikri, another UNESCO World Heritage Site and the once capital of Emperor Akbar's reign. Visit the Buland Darwaza, the highest gateway in the world, and other impressive sites such as the Panch Mahal and Tomb of Salim Chishti. In the evening, drive to Jaipur (Pink City), where you will check in at your hotel for an overnight stay.
On your third day, begin your exploration of Jaipur, known as the Pink City for its distinct terracotta-colored buildings. After breakfast, start with a visit to Amber Fort, a majestic hilltop fort that combines Hindu and Mughal architecture. You can either take a jeep or ride an elephant up to the fort's entrance, where you’ll explore palaces, courtyards, and the stunning Sheesh Mahal (Hall of Mirrors).
Next, visit the City Palace, which serves as a royal residence and museum, housing art, textiles, and royal artifacts. You’ll also visit the Jantar Mantar, an ancient astronomical observatory and UNESCO World Heritage Site, where you can see large instruments used for celestial measurements.
Afterward, marvel at the iconic Hawa Mahal (Palace of Winds), a five-story structure with intricate latticed windows, designed so that royal women could observe street life without being seen. End your day with a stroll through the colorful Johari Bazaar or Bapu Bazaar for local handicrafts and textiles. Return to the hotel for overnight stay.
On the final day of your tour, after breakfast, you can spend some leisure time shopping or exploring more of Jaipur, or visit any place of your choice that you may have missed. Then, in the afternoon, we begin our return journey to Delhi. The drive takes around 5 hours, and you will be dropped off at your desired location in Delhi, either at the airport or hotel, marking the end of your Golden Triangle Tour.
