Day by day
Day 1 · Delhi
Arrival in Delhi. Your chauffeur meets you inside the arrivals hall at Indira Gandhi International Airport and drives you to your hotel. The evening is yours to rest after the flight. If you arrive early and feel up to it, we can add a gentle first drive through the wide avenues of Lutyens’ Delhi, past India Gate as the lights come on.
Day 2 · Agra & Jaipur
Agra’s Taj and Fort, then on to Jaipur. An early start south to Agra on the expressway. You see the Taj Mahal in the clear morning light, then Agra Fort close by, with its palaces and audience halls above the river. After lunch the road carries you west, pausing at Fatehpur Sikri, Akbar’s abandoned sandstone capital, before you arrive in Jaipur for the night.
Day 3 · Jaipur & Delhi
Jaipur’s palaces, then back to Delhi. You spend the morning at the Amber Fort in its finest light and, back in the city, the City Palace, the Jantar Mantar observatory and the Hawa Mahal. In the afternoon the road returns you to Delhi, five to six hours, in time for your onward flight.

Common questions
Is 3 days enough for the Golden Triangle?
Yes — three days covers the essentials: the Taj Mahal at sunrise, Agra Fort, Jaipur’s Amber Fort and a taste of Delhi. It is a full, brisk pace, so if you have a spare day or two, four or five days let you slow down. Every day is private and chauffeured.
What does the 3-day Golden Triangle itinerary cover?
A day in Delhi’s Mughal and colonial highlights, a drive to Agra for the Taj Mahal and Agra Fort, and Jaipur’s Amber Fort and old-city palaces — Delhi → Agra → Jaipur, with your own car, driver and licensed guides throughout.
Where does the 3-day tour start and end?
It starts in Delhi, where most international flights arrive, and ends back in Delhi — or in Jaipur if that suits your onward flight. We time the final drive to your departure so nothing feels rushed.
