OVERVIEW

The Classic Golden Triangle Tour is the definitive introduction to India — the journey every first-time visitor must take. Delhi, Agra, and Jaipur together represent the full spectrum of Indian civilisation: the Mughal empire at its most glorious in Agra, the grandeur of India's ancient and modern capital in Delhi, and the timeless Rajputana culture of Jaipur. Over four days with an additional night compared to the express version, the Classic Golden Triangle allows a more relaxed, in-depth encounter with each city.
