4-Day Luxury Trip Of The Golden Triangle Of India: Delhi, Agra, And Jaipur

Begin your trip meeting your guide at your accommodation in Delhi at 9am. Spend about three hours visiting Qutab Minar (the tallest minaret in the world made up of bricks), Lotus Temple, India Gate, Parliament House, the President’s Palace, and the secretariat buildings then you’ll set off for the three-hour drive to your Agra hotel.

The next day, watch the sun rise over the Taj Mahal. Take a guided tour inside the Taj Mahal, a ivory-white marble mausoleum that was commissioned in 1632 by the Mughal emperor, Shah Jahan (reigned from 1628 to 1658), to house the tomb of his favourite wife, Mumtaz Mahal.

Enjoy breakfast at your hotel and then spend two hours visiting Agra Fort. From Agra Fort, make the five-hour journey to your five-star Jaipur hotel, visiting Fatehpur Sikri the deserted capital of Emperor Akbar, approximately 40 kms outside Agra.

The entire city of Red sand stone (sand stone palaces and temples) is virtually intact and a site worth seeing is the 54 m high main entrance – the Buland Darwaza; the gate of victory constructed to commemorate Akbar’s victory in Gujarat.

On the third day, head down the hill to Jal Mahal, a palace floating on Man Sagar Lake, for a photo opportunity. There will be time for lunch and then you’ll spend two hours exploring the Maharaja’s City Palace.

Head to Jantar Mantar, an observatory built by Rajput King Sawai Jai Singh, to explore for about one and a half hours. Then, drive past Hawa Mahal (Palace of Winds) before returning to your hotel. The next day you will be dropped off in Delhi or at Jaipur airport.
