Why we curated this specific route?
“The Essential India.”
This is the world’s most famous tourist circuit for a reason. It packs the three most iconic cities of North India into less than a week. You start in the political capital (Delhi), move to the romantic capital (Agra), and finish in the royal capital (Jaipur).
We designed this 6-day version (instead of the rushed 4 or 5-day ones) to give you two nights in Delhi and two nights in Jaipur. This extra breathing room allows you to see Akshardham Temple and the hidden gems of Jaipur without exhaustion.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I start this tour in Jaipur and end in Delhi?
Yes. We can reverse the route: Jaipur ➝ Agra ➝ Delhi. This works great if you are landing in Jaipur.
Can we add a Tiger Safari?
Yes! We can add Ranthambhore National Park between Agra and Jaipur. This turns it into the "07 Days Golden Triangle with Tigers" tour.
What clothes should we wear?
Conservative clothing is recommended, especially for temples (Akshardham, Jama Masjid). Shoulders and knees should be covered. Comfortable walking shoes are a must for the forts.
Is it safe to drive from Jaipur to Delhi for a night flight?
Yes, but we recommend keeping a 6-hour buffer. The highway is good, but traffic entering Delhi can be unpredictable. If your flight is at 10 PM or later, driving back on the same day is fine.
Are the guides necessary?
In the Golden Triangle, yes. The history is deep. A guide helps you navigate the massive forts, skip the lines, and avoid touts. We provide government-approved guides only.
Is Akshardham open every day?
No. Akshardham Temple is closed on Mondays. If your Day 1 falls on a Monday, we will shift this visit to another time or swap it with another monument.
