About This Journey
Golden Triangle Family Holiday — Premium
The six-day Golden Triangle circuit, with the extra day this route carries over the Classic itinerary used to keep the pace comfortable for a family rather than tight for it. Delhi, Agra and Jaipur, without back-to-back long drive days.
Two days in Delhi cover the Mughal landmarks and the Old City before Agra, where the Taj at sunrise and Agra Fort fill a full day on their own. Fatehpur Sikri and Chand Baori follow on the drive to Jaipur, where Amber Fort and the Pink City close the trip.
- 01
A private vehicle and guide throughout
The whole trip runs on a private car and driver-guide, not a shared coach — useful with children, and it means the day can flex around naps, meals or an early stop if needed.
- 02
No two long drives back to back
This six-day version spreads the Agra sightseeing across a full day rather than folding it into a single long push, which keeps the days more manageable with kids along.
- 03
Amber Fort's elephant or jeep ascent
The climb up to Amber Fort can be made by jeep as an alternative to walking — a detail that often matters more with children than with adults.

Day 2 · Delhi
Delhi — Old City & the Imperial Capital
A full day across two Delhis. The morning is Shahjahanabad on foot — the Jama Masjid, the spice market, a cycle-rickshaw through Chandni Chowk. The afternoon is the imperial city the British built: the long axis of Rajpath, India Gate, and the sandstone government buildings on Raisina Hill. Humayun's Tomb or the Qutub Minar fills the gap between them. It is a long day and worth it.
Day 3 · 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.
Day 4 · Agra
Agra — The Taj at Sunrise, then Agra Fort
The gates open at first light, and the first hour is the coolest, the quietest and the best for photographs, as the marble shifts from grey to pink to white. A private guide handles the tickets and the queue. Back to the hotel for breakfast. The rest of the morning is Agra Fort, Akbar's red sandstone citadel, including the rooms where Aurangzeb held his father prisoner within sight of the Taj. The Taj is closed on Fridays.
Day 5 · Agra → Jaipur
Agra to Jaipur — Fatehpur Sikri & Chand Baori
A morning drive out to Fatehpur Sikri, Akbar's capital of 1571, abandoned within twenty years and left almost untouched since. The Buland Darwaza is the tallest gateway in India. The road then runs on towards Jaipur. Near Abhaneri it passes Chand Baori, a stepwell that drops thirteen storeys into the ground. Its walls are a lattice of some 3,500 steps. It is one of the oldest and deepest in the country. Jaipur by evening, about five hours of driving in all.

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.

Jaipur
Jaipur — Amber Fort & the Pink City, then Departure
The morning is Amber Fort, on its ridge above the lake, reached on foot or by jeep up the ramp. Inside are the mirrored hall, the painted gates and the older palace behind. Back in the city, a drive past the Hawa Mahal and a walk through the bazaars around the City Palace fills the rest of the day. Your driver times the transfer to the airport or the train. This is the usual last day of a Golden Triangle trip.
