Golden Triangle · 3 Days
Golden Triangle — 3-Day Express
The shortest real version of the Golden Triangle — one night each in Delhi and Agra, the Taj at dawn, ending in Jaipur.
Day by Day
3 Days, In Full
The Golden Triangle for travellers with a long weekend or an add-on to a bigger trip. A night in Delhi, a night in Agra, and a drive to Jaipur that takes in the Taj Mahal at sunrise and Fatehpur Sikri on the way. It is fast, and it treats each city as a single strong impression rather than a stay. The four, five and six-day versions give the cities the time they really want. This one is honest about being a taste.
Delhi
Arrival in Delhi — Mughal Landmarks
A private airport pickup in Delhi, then a first afternoon among the city's Mughal landmarks. Humayun's Tomb, finished in 1570, was the first great garden tomb built in India. Its design was later echoed in the Taj Mahal. Qutub Minar rises more than 70 metres and dates from the 12th century. It is the tallest brick minaret in the world. Old Delhi adds the Red Fort and the broad steps of the Jama Masjid. The evening is free before the drive to Rajasthan.
Delhi → Agra
Delhi to Agra — The Yamuna Expressway
The drive to Agra runs about 165 kilometres down the Yamuna Expressway and takes three to three and a half hours. It is flat, fast and unremarkable, which is the point — it replaced a full day on the old road. You reach Agra by early afternoon. The rest of the day is Agra Fort, in the long light, with the Taj Mahal visible downriver from its marble balconies — a first sight of it before tomorrow's sunrise.
Agra → Jaipur
Agra to Jaipur — Taj at Dawn, then Fatehpur Sikri
The Taj Mahal at sunrise first, then check out and drive for Jaipur. Forty kilometres out is Fatehpur Sikri, Akbar's abandoned capital, still complete because nothing was ever built over it — the palaces, the courts, the fifty-four-metre gateway. Further on, near Abhaneri, is Chand Baori, a ninth-century stepwell that drops thirteen storeys in a lattice of stairs. You reach Jaipur in the evening. The full drive is about five and a half hours plus stops.
