Namaste! Welcome to India. Your adventure begins with a welcome meeting at 6 pm. If you arrive with hours (or days) to spare, consider striking out on your own, perhaps to visit the World Heritage-listed Humayun's Tomb. A great (and tasty) way to get under the city’s skin in very little time is to book an Urban Adventure like the Delhi City Food Crawl. After the 6 pm meeting, head out for an optional meal with your group at a local restaurant.

  • Hotel (1 night)

There are no meals included on this day.

  • Delhi - Humayun's Tomb - INR600
  • Delhi - Delhi Food Walk Urban Adventure - INR3750
  • Delhi - Red Fort - INR600

It’s very important that you attend the welcome meeting as we will be collecting insurance details and next of kin information at this time.

Join your group leader on an excursion through Old Delhi. Ride the city’s metro system, and then hop in a rickshaw to the once water-filled square of Chandni Chowk. Discover the Jama Masjid, Delhi’s oldest mosque, before learning about the history of the Sikh religion at the Sheeshganj Gurudwara.

  • Delhi - Visit to the Jama Masjid Mosque
  • Delhi - Sheeshganj Gurudwara (Sikh Temple)
  • Delhi - Leader-led Old Delhi walking tour

Travel by private vehicle into Rajasthan and on to its capital, Jaipur (approximately 5 - 6 hours). A friendly, busy city crammed with palaces and bazaars full of jewellery, textiles and folk arts, Jaipur is a favourite for many travellers. Our suggestions are to stop by the Hawa Mahal (Palace of the Winds), then head over to Jaipur's Royal City Palace and explore its extravagant rooms and apartments. Later, discover one of the five astronomical observatories built by Maharaja Jai Singh, the founder of Jaipur.

  • Jaipur - Leader-led walking & market tour
  • Jaipur - City Palace - INR1000
  • Jaipur - Jantar Mantar Observatory - INR200
  • Jaipur - Bollywood Movie at Raj Mandir Cinema - INR400

Choose to take an early morning hot air balloon experience, often a highlight of visiting Jaipur. Ballooning can be done over Jaipur on the morning of day four between September and June. Mid-afternoon visit the Amber Fort. Set on a hilltop overlooking Maota Lake, the fort is an authentic example of Rajput architecture and the Sheesh Mahal (Hall of Mirrors) is one of its more spectacular buildings.

  • Jaipur - Amber Fort
  • Jaipur - Balloon Safari - USD280

Leave the ‘Pink City’ of Jaipur behind and drive to the village of Suroth Mahal in Karauli (approximately 5-6 hours). This delightful town was founded in 1348 and is packed with rural ambiance and traditional temples. Take a guided walk around the Old Quarter, interacting with friendly locals and learning about rural Indian life off the tourist trail. Be sure to visit the eclectic market stalls along the way and sample some seasonal local sweets made from Indian ingredients, including petha (pumpkin), jaggery (organic sugar), peanut brittle, and gazak (sesame seeds). Stay in a restored heritage property tonight where dinner is included.

  • Heritage Property (1 night)
  • Suroth Mahal - Village Walk

On the journey to Agra, stop en route at the one-time capital of the Mughal empire, Fatehpur Sikri (approximately 4 hours). Its stunning mosque displays both Persian and Hindu design and is secured by a 54-metre high entrance. Once in Agra, there’s the option of visiting the marble tomb that was saved for the greatest of the Mughal Emperors, Akbar's Mausoleum. The day then culminates in a visit to the Taj Mahal, built in the 1640s as a memorial to the wife of Emperor Shah Jahan.

  • Fatehpur Sikri - Guided tour
  • Agra - Taj Mahal
  • Agra - Additional entries to Taj Mahal - INR1300

In the morning, take a guided tour along the banks of the Yamuna River to the iconic Agra Fort. Originally designed by Emperor Akbar in 1565 to be a military structure, it was converted into a palace during Emperor Shah Jahan's reign and later became his prison. Perhaps stop for lunch at Sheroes Hangout, a vegetarian & vegan cafe. This beautiful cafe is a one of kind social enterprise providing employment and opportunities for women who were the victims of acid attacks. In the early afternoon, take the 3-4 hour journey back to Delhi by private bus. Arrive back at the hotel with enough time to freshen up and decide where to enjoy one final dinner with the group.

  • Agra - Agra Fort
  • Agra - Sheroes Cafe Visit

There are no activities planned for the final day and you're able to depart the accommodation at any time. Check out time from the hotel is 12 noon. If you are departing later, you can arrange luggage storage at the hotel. If you decide to stay an extra couple of days, there are plenty of activities in and around the city to enjoy.

  • Delhi - Home-Cooked Delhi Urban Adventure - INR4000
  • Delhi - Culture Vulture Delhi Urban Adventure - INR2500

7 Day Itinerary for India’s Golden Triangle: New Delhi, Agra & Jaipur

  • Last Updated March 17, 2024
  • India , Asia

A diverse and beguiling introduction to the sprawling Indian subcontinent, the Golden Triangle’s sights and sounds are possibly the first thing that comes to mind for most travellers when they think of a trip to India. Boasting majestic mosques, bustling bazaars and chaotic street scenes, as well as one of the world’s greatest wonders, this well-trodden tourist trail with leave you astounded at every turn and have you gagging to return to India to explore more.

What is the Golden Triangle?

The ‘Golden Triangle’ consists of 3 of India’s most visited cities: Delhi, Agra and Jaipur, which roughly form a triangle – with around 200km distance between each point – in the north-east of the country. The reason that it is so highly frequented and dubbed ‘golden’ is due to the fact that this tourist trail includes some of the region’s most spectacular and lauded cultural and historical sights.  

In my opinion, the Golden Triangle is the perfect introduction to I ndia . In a country so vast that  organising  a trip can often feel overwhelming, this compact tick-list of highlights taking in the nation’s capital, a sliver of Uttar Pradesh, and Rajasthan’s capital is a great way to ease yourself in as a first-time visitor.  

ITINERARY OVERVIEW

Chaotic delhi, the majestic taj mahal and the enthralling pink city of jaipur: india's golden triangle in 7 days..

Day 1 & 2:  Delhi Day 3 & 4:  Agra Day 5:  Fatehpur Sikri, Abhaneri Step Well & Jaipur Day 6 & 7:  Jaipur

The first port of call for many visitors to India, whether as a starting point for a trip through the Golden Triangle or as a base for exploring Northern India. Although many of these people choose not to stay for very long, I think that  Delhi  is definitely worth at least a few days of your time.

This city of 19 million people is a fascinating place. Not only is it the political and administrative capital of the county, but it is also a melting pot of cultures, ethnicities, and religions. It really is a city of contrasts. In the south, wide tree-lined avenues are surrounded by colonial mansions and expansive gardens dotted with vast monuments and ancient tombs. As you move towards the chaos of Old Delhi, you find claustrophobic, narrow streets overflowing with people and traffic. Think colourful spice markets, orange marigolds scattered across the pavement as a woman threads them into fragrant necklaces, bangle shops sparkling and shining in every colour imaginable and people dishing out delicious street food. Behind the dishevelled 20th-century apartment blocks covered in reams of tangled telephone wires and drying laundry, are the remains of extravagant architecture. Look a little harder and you will find yourself wandering among the central courtyards of gorgeous Havelis or stumbling upon centuries-old temples hidden away on cramped backstreets. Every corner of the city offers up new surprises and there are plenty of museums, monuments and sights to keep you sated for a few busy days.

Arriving in Delhi

Most visitors to Delhi will likely land at Indira Gandhi International Airport. The Delhi Metro runs an airport express line every 15 minutes between the hours of 5.15am and 11.40pm which takes around 20 minutes to reach New Delhi Train Station (₹60). Alternatively, shuttle buses run from outside Terminal 3 to Kashmiri gate every 10 minutes.

If, like me, you arrive too late to catch public transport, there are pre-paid taxi counters in front of Terminal 1 and Terminal 3. It will cost ₹350 to reach central Delhi or ₹450 to get to the southern suburbs. Payment is made at the counter in exchange for a voucher before you get into your taxi. some travellers report taxi drivers trying to scam passengers by taking them to the wrong hotel or refusing to go to the intended destination so ensure that you don’t give up your voucher before reaching your actual hotel.

Where to Stay in Delhi

Deciding where to stay in a city the size of Delhi can be a mind-boggling task. Not only are there a huge number of hotel options, ranging from budget-friendly fleapits to lavish five-star palaces, it can also be difficult to decide which are of the city to bed down in.

Many of the city’s hostels are located in Paharganj, the noisy and bustling backpacker hub close to the city’s railway station. However, in my opinion, it is an area that’s best avoided. Alternatively, the area around Connaught Place is near to a vast majority of the tourist sights and is much quieter with a higher standard of accommodation.

During my stay in Delhi, I stayed in the south of the city. Not only is it a little more convenient for getting an Uber to/and from the airport, but you’re also much more likely to catch a good night’s sleep without the fear of being kept awake by the constant honking of car horns. While it may take longer for you to reach the sights of Central and Old Delhi, I think that the trade-off is worth it.

Although not particularly fancy,  Bed & Chai  is a French-owned guesthouse with a mix of private and dorm rooms and a few quirky design touches. It is located in a relatively quiet neighbourhood and offers a roof terrace and an excellent breakfast.

For all the talk of how chaotic, traffic-clogged and dauntingly crowded Delhi can be, I think that the nation’s capital makes for a great entry point to India. The idea of culture shock to western tourists in often overblown when it comes to Delhi and in fact, this megalopolis is more fascinating and engaging than many guide books would have you believe. Although the city’s chief attraction is the bustling street life of Old Delhi’s markets and bazaars, there are plenty of attractions to keep you busy for a week or more; 17th century mosques; sprawling manicured gardens filled with ancient tombs; the boulevards and monuments of British-built New Delhi; and a youthful café and creative scene to rival any of the world’s other major destinations. I have only accounted for 2 days in this Delhi itinerary so it may seem a little rushed. Ideally, this could be spread over 2 and a half or 3 days at a more leisurely pace but I would recommend staying even longer to truly see everything the city has to offer.

Day 1 Itinerary

To counteract any potential culture shock and ease you into your first full day in Delhi, we will avoid central Delhi and explore the city’s south, replacing the crowded alleys and dusty streets for wide, tree lined boulevards surrounded by sprawling colonial mansions and beautiful parks.

Start off at the stunning  Lotus Temple , hopefully arriving early enough to beat the queues at the entrance gate. Designed by Iranian-Canadian architect Fariborz Sahba in 1986 to resemble a lotus flower with 27 white-marble petals, this Bahai house of worship was designed as a place to bring all religions together. People of all faiths are welcome to pray or meditate silently inside according to their own beliefs. Even if you’re not religious, time spent in silence, meditating inside the temple can be a welcome break from the chaos of the city.

The lotus temple in Delhi, India

From here, hop on a tuk-tuk for the 20 minute ride to  Lodi Colony . If you would rather take public transport, wander from the Lotus Temple to Kalkaji Mandir Metro Statin (around 15 minutes) and take the Violet Line to J.L. Nehru Stadium Metro Station and then walk another 15 minutes. Lodi Colony is one of the most exciting creative outposts in the city with walls covered in art. Back in 2015, the St+art India Foundation, an organization dedicated to making art more accessible, teamed up with the Indian government to allow street artists to use the buildings in this inner-city neighbourhood as enormous canvases. As a result, what was once a rather dull stretch of government housing blocks is now home to over 50 vibrant murals created by local and foreign artists, covering themes ranging from Indian culture and celebrities to social issues.

Exiting the neighbourhood on its northern boundry at Lodhi Road, cross the street and enter  Lodhi Gardens . The 90-acres of sculptured garden and monuments were created at the behest of Lady Willingdon, who had two villages cleared in 1936 to make space for her project. It’s an incredibly popular spot for locals. You will find students lounging on the grass, couples picnicking and even people participating in group yoga sessions. While the gardens are beautiful in themselves – they are home to more than 100 species of trees and 50 species of birds and butterflies – it is the 15th century Mughal monuments (the twin tombs of Bada Gumbad and Sheesh Gumbad, Mohammed Shah’s tomb, and the walled complex of Sikander Lodi’s tomb) that steal the show.

Just a short stroll to the west is  Safdarjung Tomb , an impressive sandstone and marble mausoleum, built in the 18th century by Nawab of Avadh as a grandiose tomb for his father, Safdarjang. Surrounded by palm-lined gardens and long, decorative pools, it is one of the most underrated attractions in the city, meaning that it doesn’t get too crowded.

golden triangle tour with jaipur

If you’re feeling hungry, swing by one of the many restaurants and cafes in  Khan Market  by taxi on your way to the next stop, otherwise, take an Uber ride eastwards to the far end of Lodhi Road and  Humayun Tomb . This tomb of Mughal Emperor Humayun is a real architectural wonder and one of the most impressive buildings in the whole of Delhi. Predating the Taj Mahal by around 60 years, it is thought to have inspired India’s most famous structure, although, rather than being built entirely from in white, the marble is reserved for the enormous dome and the inlays of the red sandstone arches, all of which follow the strict rules of Islamic geometry. The complex and its perfectly manicured gardens contain a number of other monuments and tombs, but none are quite as impressive as the tomb of Humayun.

Finish the day with one last stop:  India Gate . Constructed in 1921 in order to pay tribute to around 90,000 Indian Army soldiers who died in WWI, the Northwest Frontier operations and the 1919 Anglo-Afghan War, this imposing 42m high structure was modelled on Paris’ Arc de Triomphe. There is a constant buzz in the park and pools surrounding the gate as families picnic on the grass and swim in the water, especially in the early evening. Vendors selling street food, budhdhi ke bal (candyfloss or ‘old lady’s hair’), and toys mill around beneath the arch and surrounding lawns. If you walk along the imperial mall, Rajpath, designed by Edwin Lutyens in the 1920s, you can catch a glimpse of the presidential palace at the other end.

golden triangle tour with jaipur

From nearby the Presidential Palace at Central Secretariat Station, you can catch the Yellow line back to the south of the city, hopping off at Metro Station Green Park and hailing an autorickshaw to Haus Khan Village for dinner. Despite originally being a residential neighbourhood,  Hauz Khan Village  has become a creative hub and a popular hangout spot for young delhiites and expats alike. This grid of narrow lanes hugging the permiter of the nearby deer park is home to boutiques, galleries, cafes and a number of great spots to eat. Social or Kunzum Travel Café are perfect places to grab a coffee, while Coast Café is a good place to grab a bite to eat. Although I didn’t visit myself, I’m told that the TLR Café is the place to visit for a nightcap.

Day 2 Itinerary

For your second day in Delhi, you will be exploring the centre of the capital and Old Delhi. I highly recommend being introduced to this area of the city via a walking tour with the  Salaam Baalak Trust . It’s estimated that there are around 100,000 homeless children living on the streets of Delhi. Many of them eke out a life by begging for srcaps, pickpocketing and stealing, while others find themselves joining gangs to survive or using drugs as a way to numb the boredom or stave off hunger.

Luckily, the Salaam Baalak Trust offers them a lifeline. The SBT is a charitable organisation that aims to take in street kids in order to give them an education and a second chance at life, as well as training some children to become tour guides in the city, aiming to improve their language and communication skills. During their 2 hour long tours, former street children show the life of the city through an orphans eyes and tell you their own experiences of Delhi that are far removed from the usual tourist attractions, leading you around the old walled city of Delhi, down hidden alleys, and up on to the city’s rooftops. The tour costs just Rs. 400 per person and all funds raised are used to continue the Salaam Baalak Trust’s program of educating children.

Next, hop on an autorickshaw towards  Gurudwara Bangla Sahib Temple . This Sikh house of worship is the most prominent Sikh temple in Delhi. First built as a small shrine in 1783 to  honour  the eighth Sikh Guru, Guru Har Krishan, the gurdwara stands on the site where he was thought to have performed a small miracle. Guru Hari Krishan used to distribute sanctified water to the sick, believing it had a miraculous healing effect on their mind, body, and soul, and people still treat the contents of Gurudwara Bangla Sahib’s pools as holy water. At this Sikh Temple, like all others, everyone is welcome, regardless of your denomination. The Gurudwara Bangla Sahib even has a  visitors  center where you can learn more about the cornerstones of the Sikh faith:  Sewa  (service to community and God) and Simran (remembrance of God) as well as the ten Sikh gurus and the five Ks, items that Sikhs have on them at all times.

Catching the Metro from Patel Chowk and alighting at  Chandni Chowk , you will now be in the heart of Old Delhi. Head south from the station towards Chandni Chowk road, turning right when you reach it. This is one of the area’s busiest thoroughfares and has existed since 1653. The street is built up of layers and layers of history, and traversing it is like peeling an onion. Behind the dishevelled 20th-century apartment blocks covered in reams of tangled telephone wires and drying laundry, are crumbling colonial mansions. Look a little harder and you will find yourself wandering among the central courtyards of gorgeous havelis or stumbling upon centuries-old temples hidden away on cramped backstreets.

The busy streets of Chandni Chowk in Old Delhi

At the far end you will find yourself at Khari Baoli Market.  Khari Baoli  is home to Asia’s largest spice market and the Gadodia Market building is the epicentre where men sit in tiny, dimly lit, tiled alcoves with all manner of spices and ruby red chillies laid out in front of them, spilling from the top of open hessian sacks. Some of them bark orders to the labourers that move bags of leaves and spices from stall to stall, heaving them up onto enormous weighing scales. Others huddle in groups, gossiping and playing cards in clouds of cigarette smoke, crumpled roll-ups clenched between their teeth. Even if you don’t want to purchase spices, it’s an intriguing place to spend an hour or so.

By taking an auto rickshaw from here to the eastern end of Chandni Chowk, you will reach  Jama Masjid . It stands like a proud red island in the centre of Delhi’s pandemonium, a magnificent walled mosque adorned with minarets and gigantic onion domes. The building has been here as long as Old Delhi itself, built by Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan in 1644. It’s said to have cost over 1 million rupees and remains India’s largest mosque. At capacity, it can hold 25,000 people. Although the mosques vast courtyard is worth visiting to see the buildings elegant domes and archways, you can pay an extra Rs.100 to climb the minaret and get a fantastic view of Old Delhi from above. If you have time, finish the afternoon with a visit to the  Red Fort , although I don’t consider it an essential stop off.

While you are in Old Delhi, it would be a shame not to sample the area’s famous  street food.  I decided that the best solution was to enlist some local knowledge and take a guided street food tour with  Urban Adventures  on their popular Delhi Street Food Walk .

This is a great way to introduce yourself to the city’s most-loved dishes and during the 3-hour long tour you will explore the streets of Old Delhi and Kamla Nagar market, sampling everything from shawarma and bhelpuri to chaat and kulfi. The tour finishes early evening, allowing you to go for an evening drink in the area around Connaught Place, or grab an early night in preparation for your early train ride to Agra in the morning. Alternative food tours can be found  here  and  here .

When most people think of  Agra , it’s the Taj Mahal that instantly comes to mind. While it’s true that the grand, marble mausoleum is the city’s star attraction and the one that draws the majority tourists to this corner of Uttar Pradesh, the city does have a lot more to offer those willing to stick around for longer than a day.

Many of the city’s sights are a result of centuries of Agra being India’s centre of power. In 1501, Sikander Lodi built his capital here until when, in 1526, the Mughals defeated the last Lodi sultan and took over his reign. However, most of the city’s most impressive structures were not built until the mid 16th and 17th centuries when successive emperors constructed the fort, the Taj Mahal and all of the major mausoleums.

Getting to Agra from Delhi

The best way to reach Agra from both Delhi and Jaipur is by train. I find that the easiest way to book trains in India is via 12GO which allows you to search routes and book your journey in advance.

Around 20 trains travel between Delhi and Agra each day, most of them leaving from Delhi’s main station and arriving at Agra Cantt. The journey can take anywhere between 2 and 4 hours. If you plan on getting to Agra and back in a day, the Bhopal Shatabdi Express departs New Delhi at 6 am, arriving Agra Cantt at 7.57 pm. The return leg departs Agra Cantt at 8.30 pm, arriving in New Delhi at 10.30 pm.

The fastest train – and the one that I chose to take to Agra – is the Gatimaan Exp, taking only 1 hour 40 minutes. It leaves Delhi at 8.10 am and arrives at 9.50 am. Both these trains are the more expensive options but if you’re willing to have a longer journey, you can catch any of the other trains for around half the price (700-800 Rs).

Check train times and prices between New Delhi and Agra.

Where to Stay in Agra

As you can imagine for one of India’s most popular tourist destinations, Agra has an abundance of accommodation options catering to all manner of budgets. I recommend staying within walking distance of the Taj Mahal in order to get there early for the sunrise opening without having to rely on a tuk-tuk or taxi. I stayed for 3 nights at Zostel, just 10-minutes from the Taj’s East Gate. It is in the perfect location for sightseeing and there is the added bonus of a large, outdoor garden space. To the front of the property is a small cafe/restaurant serving delicious masala chai and a great palak paneer. The ever-popular  GoStops  chain also has a fantastic hostel in Agra, although its private rooms are a little more expensive than Zostel.

If you are looking for something a little more special than a budget hostel,  Oberoi Amarvilas  has one of the best views of the Taj in the city and is the only hotel in Agra that offers uninterrupted views of the monument from each of its 102 rooms. Elsewhere on the East Gate Road, just half a mile from the Taj Mahal,  Hotel Taj Resorts  is a beautiful boutique hotel with a pool and a couple of great on-site restaurants.

Day 3 Itinerary

Arriving by train into Agra Cantt Railway Station from Delhi, hop on a tuk-tuk into the city to drop your luggage at your hostel or hotel. I recommend catching an early morning train, giving yourself a full day to explore what Agra has to offer. Your first stop should be the imposing  Agra Fort . This red sandstone relic of the Mughal era was built along the banks of the Yamuna in 1565 by Emperor Akbar, later embellished with white marble by his grandson, Shah Jahan, to first act as a sprawling military fortress before being transformed into a lavish palace. The fort is enormous – its outer walls have a circumference of 2.5km – so it is best to stay for around 2 or 3 hours to explore the stunning interior structures such as the Shish Mahal (mirror palace), Diwan-e-khaas (hall of private audiences), Moti Masjid (Pearl Mosque) and Nagina Masjid (Gem/Jewel mosque).

looking a

After exploring Agra Fort, it’s time for a late lunch and there is no better place to stop off than  Sheroe’s Hangout . Sheroe’s is more than just a cafe. It is a symbol of bravery and a fight against stigma and discrimination. Run by 5 acid attack victims – Rupa, Neetu, Ritu, Geeta and Chanchal – this initiative by the Stop Acid Attacks Campaign gives women that have been disfigured in heinous attacks a chance to recover from the debilitating blows to their self-esteem by integrating and being in public rather than living a life of obscurity. Sheroes is a relaxed and colourful spot, with the walls covered in street art and portraits of acid attack victims. Just make sure to book a table as it is one of Agra’s most popular spots.

Following lunch, it’s time to visit some of Agra’s other historical sights on the other bank of the Yamuna. Unfortunately, there is no easy way to reach the river’s north bank as the nearest crossing is a few kilometres west of the city at the Ambedkar bridge. I would recommend hiring a tuk-tuk and driver for the afternoon to take you to these spots at a cost of anywhere around 150 and 200 rupees for the round trip.

Ask your driver to stop off at the Tomb of  I’timād-ud-Daulah . It has gained the nickname of ‘The Baby Taj’ over the years due to the similarities in stonework and carvings between the two. What many people don’t know is that Itimad-ud-Daulah was actually built before its more famous counterpart and was the first mausoleum to be built from white marble rather than red sandstone. It may not be as grand as the Taj Mahal, but it is still beautiful.

Afterwards, have your driver continue eastwards along the river towards  Mehtab Bagh  (100 rupee entry fee). One of  the most beautiful spots for viewing the Taj Mahal , this long, lush green lawn dotted with flowering bushes was designed to mirror the Taj Mahals own decorative gardens. Legend says that Mughal emperor Shah Jahan long planned an exact copy of the Taj to be built in the spot as a tomb for himself, only made entirely of black marble, however, it was suggested that Shah Jahan was overthrown by his son, Aurangzeb, before it could be built. Hopefully you can time your arrival just before sunset, settling in for a view of the Taj as daylight fades, casting an orangy pink glow on the building’s marble dome. I spent a beautiful evening, sat in complete silence with dozens of other people, gazing in awe at history’s greatest monument to love. The gardens close just after sunset, so hop back on your tuk-tuk and take the 20-minute ride back to central Agra in time for dinner.

As this is India, street food is the order of the day and there is no better place to find this in Agra than  Kinari Bazaar . This crazy labyrinthine network of alleyways and chouks situated behind Jama Masjid is a colourful assault on the senses. Just make sure to take plenty of patience as the crowds and onslaught of sales pitches can be a little overwhelming. After sating yourself with delicious Indian cuisine, make your way back to your hotel catch plenty of sleep as tomorrow is an early start.

Day 4 Itinerary

This morning you will be visiting the attraction that you most likely travelled all the way to Agra to see: The majestic  Taj Mahal . In my opinion, the best time to visit the Taj Mahal is at sunrise when the crowds are smaller and it is still cool enough to comfortably walk around. Check opening times online as this varies throughout the year, but this is normally around 6am. I would advise getting there half an hour before opening to ensure that you are near the front of the queue. Ensure that you buy your ticket (1100 Rupees for non-Indians) before joining the queue. The ticket booth is on your right-hand side as you walk towards the east gate along Taj East Gate Road.

Once you get inside, you will see most of the other tourists gather in front of the main reflective pool, trying to jostle each other for a photograph of the mausoleum. I recommend walking straight past them and heading to the mosque on the west side of the complex. You will possibly be the first there, giving you the opportunity to photograph the Taj with no other people in your shot.

Sunrise at the Taj Mahal seen from the mosque

The Taj Mahal was built by Shah Jahan as a memorial for his 3rd wife who died in childbirth in 1631. The emperor was so heartbroken that he began building the Taj Mahal in her honour. The main mausoleum took just 8 years to complete, but it wasn’t until 1653 that the finishing touches were added to the complex as a whole. Because of this, it is often described as the world’s greatest monument to love.

It is easy to spend an entire day gawping at this structure. I recommend spending at least 2 or 3 hours wandering around the complex, viewing the mausoleum from numerous different angles and spending some time pondering its beauty. If you don;t want to queue at the ticket office,  skip-the-line tickets can be bought here .

Following your early start and hours of sightseeing, you are probably hankering for a late breakfast or early lunch. While a quick lunch of street food is easy to come by around the Taj’s entrance gates, I recommend adding to the wow-factor of your day by making your way to Agra’s best hotel, the stunningly opulent  Oberoi Amarvilas , for an elegant and extravagant brunch. If this is a little out of your budget, then head to one of the many rooftop restaurants in the Taj Ganj area of the city. I tried the rooftop of  Hotel Saniya Palace  and the view of the taj mahal was spectacular. The majority of the restaurants around Taj Ganj don’t carry an alcohol licence, however, if you ask nicely, they will soon find you an ice-cold beer. Just be warned, the food probably won’t live up to the view.

Lunch done, you now have the option of leaving Agra for your next destination or sticking around to see a little more of the city. In my opinion, I recommend staying an extra night in Agra for a reason that will become clear soon.

With your free afternoon in the city, you can spend a little time relaxing at your hotel but if you have itchy feet, then pay a visit to the  Taj Nature Walk  (100 rupees entry fee) on the East Gate Road. This lush expanse of parkland, crisscrossed by walking trails, picnic spots and viewpoints, covers 70 acres, stretching from the road all the way towards the banks of the Yamuna. You can expect it to be fairly quiet compared to the rest of Agra if it is a little peace and tranquillity that you’re looking for. I only spotted two other couples walking the trail while I was there. While it is great for twitchers and nature lovers, the real attraction is the various vantage points dotted around the park, allowing to see the Taj Mahal from a unique perspective. It’s possible to spend a whole morning exploring the different paths but I found that an hour was enough time.

Sunset boat rise at the taj mahal by the yamuna river

Now for the main reason for staying in Agra for an extra evening: to take a boat ride on the Yamuna. I understand that you may already starting to be saturated with views of the Taj Mahal from various outposts in the city, but this is one of the most unique that not many travellers get to experience.

Officially, it’s illegal for tourists to take a boat ride on the Yamuna. However, this doesn’t mean that it’s impossible, you just have to know where to look and who to ask. After all, who would want to miss out on the best view of the Taj Mahal just for the sake of a few rules? Most hostels in and around Agra offer this tour (200-250 Rs per person) but I found that the best way is to do it yourself from Dusshera ghat. To reach Dusshera ghat, head to the Taj Mahal’s east gate from Taj East Gate Road and, as soon as you pass the ticket office, take a right and follow the Taj’s perimeter wall all the way to the waterfront. As boat rides are not advertised, it is best to ask around at the jetty to see if anyone will take you. When I visited, there were a few policemen on the jetty but they didn’t seem to mind me hopping aboard a boat. We paid 100 rupees (around £1.10) each for a 15 – 20 minute ride.

Check out  this blog post  for a detailed account of my sunset boat ride.

Fatehpur Sikri & Jaipur

Just an hour’s drive from Agra is the ghost city of Fatehpur Sikri, the former capital of the Mughal empire. Built in 1569 and 1585 as a way for the emperor to create a new capital and move imperial power away from Agra, he constructed this magnificent sandstone fortress filled with ornate gardens, an impressive fusion of Hindu and Muslim architecture, and a stunning mosque that is famous for the towering Buland Darwaza gate. Unfortunately, Fatehpur Sikri’s prominence didn’t last long and the city was abandoned in 1585 due to the city’s water supply being insufficient for its population and the Mughal Emperor soon returned to Agra.

The easiest way to visit Fatehpur Sikri is on a day trip from Agra. There are multiple agencies in Agra that provide this service, however, it is simple enough to visit on your own via train or bus. Most  car and driver services  between Agra and Jaipur also include the city as a stop off as part of their itinerary.

Getting to Fatehpur Sikri

Fatehpur Sikri is relatively easy to reach from Agra. Regular buses (40 rupees) run from Agra’s bus stand every half an hour or so between the hours of 5.30am and 6.30pm.

Trains also run each day from Agra Fort Station but are not as regular as the buses. If you are travelling back towards Agra, the journey is the same but in the opposite direction, however, if you are travelling onwards to Jaipur, you will have to wave down a Jaipur-bound bus (190 rupees for a 4-and-a-half-hour ride) from the Bypass Crossing Stop. If you ask around, you will easily find a willing local to point you in the right direction.

The city’s bustling streets burst with colour and chaos. Cycle rickshaws weave among clouds of exhaust and soot as they dodge camels, cars and the occasional dawdling elephant. Swarms of motorbikes honk and buzz through the city’s vibrant marketplaces and grand gateways.

However, the present-day metropolis that is modern Jaipur has been built on centuries of history. This is the ‘Land of the Kings’, the realm of maharajas, where majestic forts and opulent palaces are more numerous than anywhere else in India. The splendours of Rajasthan’s past are still here to explore. At the centre of  Jaipur , the elegant City Palace still housing the former royal family, is an island of tranquillity; the marvellous honeycomb facade of the Hawa Mahal looms over a traffic-clogged thoroughfare; and the city’s pink-tinted walls are punctuated with 7 imposing, decorative gates. Look further still and you will find sprawling hilltop fortresses, Escher-like step wells, and temples left to the care of roaming packs of monkeys.

Getting to Jaipur

There are 9 trains leaving for Agra each day, taking 4 and a half hours and costing around ₹185 for 3rd class. The faster 3 and a half hour train will cost you around ₹500.

Check train times and prices between Agra and Jaipur.

Alternatively, you can hire a car and driver to take you from Agra to Jaipur . This can cost anywhere from ₹5000 to ₹8000 depending on which company you use and which attractions you decide to visit along the route. If you plan on visiting Fatehpur Sikri and Chand Baori in Abhaneri en-route to Jaipur, you will need to hire a driver rather than take the train.

Where to Stay in Jaipur

Jaipur isn’t short of high quality, budget guesthouses and hostels. Many of the best properties are concentrated along MI Road or 2km away from the Old City in the peaceful Bani Park area. The ever-reliable  Zostel  chain is one of the best spots in the city for wallet-friendly dorm beds while on the edge of the Old City,  Krishna Palace  is a beautiful, family-run heritage property with a lush garden and roof terrace.

Day 6 Itinerary

Start your first full day in Jaipur by wandering along the traffic-clogged MI road in search of breakfast. Hidden away in a small courtyard is  Indian Coffee House , a Society for Indian Coffee Workers-owned cooperative with two branches in Jaipur.

It doesn’t look like much – It’s dingy inside, with pale green walls and fans running constantly to cool the interior – but this outdated, 70’s decor only adds to the appeal as uniformed waiters, complete with Nehru topi or a Pathan turban on their heads, go from table to table dishing out enormous dosas, crispy pakoras, omlettes and egg dishes that are some of the cheapest you’ll find in the city. The filter coffee isn’t too bad either.

Following a hearty breakfast, you will only be a short walk from some of Jaipur’s main attractions. Of these attractions, the  City Palace  is undoubtedly the star and with good reason. Situated right in the centre of the old city, you enter through the pink outer walls to find a maze-like complex of gardens, courtyards and buildings. The original outer wall was built by Jai Singh but the interior has been added to and enlarged over the years, with different buildings and palaces deriving from different centuries. Although the parts of the palace that you will see for the regular entrance fee are not all that exciting, you will have to pay the eye-watering extra ₹2,500 (around £27.50) for entrance to the palace’s most impressive rooms. I couldn’t justify the expense but for that price, but you will get a personal guide, a cup of chai in a private courtyard, and entrance to the palace gardens.

Afterwards, pay a visit to  Jantar Mantar  (Gangori Bazaar, 200 rupee entry) nearby. Although Jantar Mantar may just resemble a sculpture park filled with enormous, geometric statues, it is actually an observatory built by Jai Singh II in 1728 in order for him to measure the night sky (the name means ‘instruments of calculation’) that was added to the UNESCO world heritage list back in 2010. The complex features the world’s largest sundial.

There is just one more of this area’s trio of attractions to visit and this is the  Hawa Mahal . One of Jaipur’s most iconic and distinctive landmarks, the Hawa Mahal was constructed in 1799 by Maharaja Sawai Pratap Singh as a way to allow ladies of the royal household to watch life on the streets below without being seen themselves. The five-storey tall honeycomb hive facade consists of 953 latticework windows for the ladies viewing pleasure. Entry is 200 rupees but if you just want to see the building’s famous façade, I recommend heading across the road and up a stairway to the  Wind View Café  where you can enjoy a coffee and quick lunch on the cafes terrace with an unbeatable view of the palace.

shoppers in Bapu Bazaar market, Jaipur

To round out your first day in Jaipur, take a self-guided walking tour around the old  Pink City  and its bazaars, starting at New Gate and taking a 4km circular stroll clockwise around the city, ending at Ajmer Gate. Head through New Gate and make your way through Bapu Bazaar, stopping to gawp at the colourful textiles and fabrics. Once you hit Sanganeri Gate, take a left and stroll through the jewelers and goldsmiths and Johari Bazaar, passing the majestic Hawa Mahal once again. Eventually you will reach the minarets of Jama Masjid where you can swing a left and wander past Tripolia Bazaar. In this area you can stop inside Maniharon Rasta, the perfect place to pick uup some beautiful bangles, or climb the steps of Iswari Minar Swarga for a, frankly, fairly underwhelming view of the city. Eventually you turn left again to wander past the stoneworkers of Khajane Walon ka Rasta before reaching the city walls beside Indra Bazaar, your end point.

Traffic and tuk tuks in Jaipur

No doubt at after all that walking you will be in need of a few refreshments. Just a 5 minute walk away down MI Road is  Lassiwalla , the city’s most famous and popular lassi establishment that has been dishing out hundreds of creamy drinks each day since it first opened back in 1944. However, if it’s something a little stronger that you’re looking for, I have to recommend a trip to  Bar Palladio . Bar Palladio describes itself as a place that delights in fantasy, a candle-lit wonderland and a floating world. Here you can wander amongst the peacocks and tented pavilions in the bar’s garden or head inside into a cobalt blue dreamland that appears to be modelled on the City Palace’s summer room, although the owner claims that the decor is inspired by the iconic Caffé Florian and Harry’s Bar in Venice. Either way, it really is an enchanting place to come for an early evening cocktail. The bar itself opens at 6 pm but tables fill fast. I recommend arriving at opening or pre-booking.

You can stay for food at Bar Palladio but if you’re on a tighter budget, how about catching a cab or tuk-tuk to  Peacock Rooftop Restaurant . Situated on a rooftop terrace on the Hotel Pearl Palace, this quirky and fun restaurant offers romantic, candlelit, 360 views of Jaipur that reach all the way towards Hathroi fort. The cuisine is varied and inexpensive, although the Rajastani thali is probably the best thing on the menu.

Day 7 Itinerary

Today is going to be another busy day in which you will be heading out of the city centre to see some of the sights on the edge of Jaipur. After breakfast (I’d always recommend starting at Indian Coffee House again) hop in an Uber or taxi towards Amer Fort. Along the way, ask your driver to stop briefly beside Man Sagar Lake so that you can see the  Jal Mahal , or water palace, from afar. When I visited, the palace was undergoing extensive renovations meaning that it cannot be accessed, but it is worth stopping off on the road between Jaipur and Amer to take a look and capture a few photographs before continuing your journey to the fort.

Jal Mahal in Jaipur, India

The  Amber Fort  is not only Jaipur’s most popular tourist attraction, it is also one of the most magnificent buildings in all of Rajasthan. Built with pink and yellow sandstone then embellished with white marble floors and walls, it is infinitely photogenic, especially as the sun fades on an evening, giving the whole fortress an orange and pink hue. Amer was the former capital of Jaipur state, with the fort being built in 1592 by Maharaja Man Singh. Subsequent extensions have lead to the fort comprising of an enormous and expansive network of palaces, temples and courtyards that will take the best part of a day to explore fully.

Elephants are used to carry tourists up the winding, hilly, switchbacks from the main road to the fort, but due to the mistreatment and abuse that these animals go through to be trained, as well as the health impact of carrying passengers please do not pay to ride an elephant to the entrance. It is just a short, 10-minute climb to the top or 4WD vehicles are available (40 rupees return for 5 passengers) if you are unable to walk.

If you feel up for a little stroll, you can take the rear exit of the Fort and stroll 10-15 minutes downhill to the town of Amer. Here you will find  Panna Meena Ka Kund , a beautifully refurbished step well. Built in the 16th century as a way of collecting the monsoon rains, the step well was a centre point for the community, used as a water source, bathing pool and for washing clothes. The geometric staircases are a stunning combination of ingenious Indian engineering and architectural beauty.

For our next stop you will have to catch a taxi or Uber again.  Nahargarh Fort  stands high above the northern limits of Jaipur, casting an imposing shadow over the city and can be a bit of a pain to reach. One way is to climb the steep, 2km path that winds up towards the fort from Nahargarh Fort Road but I would suggest going by car, although this is a 16km round trip from the city centre. Going direct from Amber Fort of Panna Meena Ka Kund means you can avoid having to travel back into the city just to head out again.

The fort was originally named Sudarshangarh, but it became known as Nahargarh, which means ‘abode of tigers’. Local legend says that the fort was named for Nahar Singh, a dead prince whose spirit was thought to be disrupting construction only sated once a temple was built within the grounds. While the labyrinthine corridors and maze of courtyards within the fort itself are impressive, the main attraction is the view of the city from the ramparts.

golden triangle tour with jaipur

Catching a taxi back into the city, you should have now worked up quite an appetite so it’s time to head for dinner. If you’re staying within the walls of the Pink City, seek out  Ganesh Restaurant , a purely vegetarian restaurant located atop the city walls. atop the city walls. It’s a little difficult to find but their creamy butter masala is worth the effort. If you’re hotel is further west along the MI Road, then  Handi , a restaurant that has been in business since 1967 serving up a great range of barbecue and tandoori dishes, is a great choice.

With that, your time exploring the Golden Triangle is done. You can either catch a late-night train back to Delhi for your flight home or return to your hotel to rest, catching your train to Delhi the next morning.

IF YOU HAVE MORE TIME IN JAIPUR

Galta ji temple.

Although Galta Ji Temple is situated right on the edge of Jaipur’s city centre, it feels desolate and is incredibly evocative. Squeezed between two cliff faces in a deep valley and accessible by taking a winding, hilltop path, Galta Ji is most commonly known as the ‘Monkey Temple’ as hundreds of macaques and langurs call the crumbling buildings their home, running riot on the temple steps or playing in the sacred tanks.

A hilly, rugged path of steep climbs and switchbacks winds its way from Galta Gate, on the eastern edge of Jaipur, to Galta Ji. I rode by tuk-tuk to the gate from Jaipur’s city centre, and then it took me approximately 25 minutes to follow the clearly marked path and reach the temple. While the pedestrian route may seem like a slog, you are rewarded with hazy views of the bustling city from Surya Mandir, a temple sitting on a ridge 100m above Jaipur.

It’s claimed that the sacred tanks of Galta Ji are ‘many elephants deep’. When I visited, I didn’t see many pilgrims taking the plunge into the temple’s water so I couldn’t judge for myself, instead the pools were full of frolicking macaques. Small bags of peanuts are available to purchase at the entrance, but only do so if you are prepared to be mobbed by macaques. If you would rather keep the monkeys at a distance, it is worth waiting for the temple’s self-proclaimed ‘Monkey Master’ who arrives sporadically with bowls of fruit with which to feed the monkeys.

Alternatively, you can reach Galta Ji by car or Uber. Although the temple is only a few kilometres from the city centre, it is approximately 10km from the City Palace by road. You should be able to visit by tuk-tuk for around 300 rupees, including waiting time. A taxi will be more expensive, charging 500 – 700 rupees.

Where to Next?

Although many people finish their brief tour of India at this point, heading back to Delhi to catch a flight home, Jaipur is the perfect jumping off point to explore more of Rajasthan.

The land of the kings is home to magnificent fortresses rising from the desert, lavish palaces, camel trains and jungle-dwelling tigers. However, beyond the architectural wonders and maharajas, it is the enthralling mix of culture and festivals that left me transfixed by the region. There are two popular routes from the state’s capital, heading south to Ranthamblore Natinal Park where you can take a safari to search for tigers amongst the forests and rivines, or taking an onward train to Ajmer in order to visit  Pushkar , a small yet enchanting town has the right mix of mysticism, religious fervour, and magnetism that causes backpackers and new age types to linger here for weeks, if not months.

The Best Golden Triangle Tours

Although the Golden Triangle is a well-trodden tourist trail and all the destinations are easily accessible by public transport, package tours are available for people on a tighter schedule or those that don’t want to rely on trains, buses or their own  organisational  skills.   

G Adventures are one of my  favourite  tour companies, focusing on small-group travel with a sustainable and environmentally friendly ethos. Their  8-day Delhi to Delhi  Golden Triangle Tour covers all of the stops mentioned in this guide as well as a number of lesser-visited spots. Alternatively, if time is short, they also offer a  6-day Independent Adventure .  

If group travel isn’t your thing and you are even shorter on time, private tours can be organised in which you will travel by air-conditioned, private car with attraction tickets, hotels, and tours all organised for you. Numerous different tours are  available here .

India Essentials

When travelling, there are certain brands and resources that I always rely on when booking things like flights, accommodation and tours. Here are my recommendations.

Mobile Data and SIM Cards

Prepaid eSIM’s are a great way of accessing affordable data and staying connected while travelling. I use and recommend Airalo.

Booking Accommodation in India

When securing accommodation abroad, I almost always rely on Booking.com as they have everything from rental properties to homestays and luxury hotels.

Most cities in India also have a good range of hostels for the budget traveller and some of the country’s largest chains such as Moustache and Zostel have outposts here. I always use Hostelworld when booking my bed in hostel dorms.

Train Travel in India

Thanks to India’s extensive rail network, the country is best explored by train, however, booking rail tickets in India can be slightly confusing when using local booking services. The cheapest and easiest way of securing tickets is via 12GO, who allow you to search for journeys and book trains easily.

Tours in India

Many of India’s cities are vast, sprawling and chaotic, meaning that they are best seen with the help of a local guide. Whether you are planning an adventurous day trip or a delectable food tour, Get Your Guide and Viator have a huge number of options.
