Beginning in Delhi — a city of emperors, monuments, and street life in equal measure — this Golden Triangle Rajasthan tour takes you through the timeless splendour of Agra and the iconic Taj Mahal, deep into the tiger forests of Ranthambore National Park, and then on a sweeping arc across Rajasthan's four most spectacular cities: Jaipur, Jodhpur, Jaisalmer, and Udaipur.

Itinerary
Arrive at Indira Gandhi International Airport and transfer to your hotel in a private air-conditioned vehicle. Spend your first evening exploring Delhi's vibrant street food and markets.
Visit Humayun's Tomb — the UNESCO-listed Mughal masterpiece — followed by the magnificent Jama Masjid, the largest mosque in India. End with a classic rickshaw ride through the historic lanes of Chandni Chowk.
Explore the towering Qutub Minar — the world's tallest brick minaret — and drive past the iconic India Gate and Rashtrapati Bhavan. Spend your final Delhi evening relaxing over a dinner in one of the capital's finest restaurants.
Drive 220 km to Agra — home of the world-famous Taj Mahal — and check in to your hotel. Visit the mighty Agra Fort in the afternoon, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and former seat of Mughal power, as the sun descends behind its sandstone walls.
Rise before dawn for the Taj Mahal at sunrise — one of the most transcendent experiences India offers — a vision in white marble that changes colour from pale gold to luminous white as the morning light shifts. Drive to Fatehpur Sikri on the way out of Agra, the abandoned Mughal ghost city and UNESCO World Heritage Site.
A full day in the forest with morning and evening jeep safaris (Zones 1–6), guided by expert wildlife naturalists. Search the lakeshores and forest trails for the Royal Bengal Tiger, leopards, sloth bears, marsh crocodiles, and over 300 species of birds.
After an optional early morning safari, drive to Jaipur — the vibrant Pink City and capital of Rajasthan. Arrive and explore the glittering Johari Bazaar for gemstones, block-print textiles, and Rajasthani jewellery.
Explore Amber Fort at dawn — Rajasthan's most iconic UNESCO World Heritage Site — with its breathtaking Sheesh Mahal (Hall of Mirrors). Photograph the stunning Hawa Mahal (Palace of Winds) and visit the royal observatory of Jantar Mantar.
Travel to Jodhpur — Rajasthan's magnificent Blue City — by road through the Aravalli Hills. Arrive and explore the cobalt-blue lanes of the old city and the vibrant Sardar Market in the evening.
Explore the mighty Mehrangarh Fort, rising 400 feet above Jodhpur's iconic blue rooftops — one of the most awe-inspiring fortresses in all of India. Visit the hauntingly beautiful Jaswant Thada cenotaph in white marble before an afternoon at leisure.
Drive through the sweeping Thar Desert landscape to Jaisalmer — the Golden City of Rajasthan. Arrive by afternoon and head to the Sam Sand Dunes for a spectacular sunset camel safari under a vast desert sky.
Explore the magnificent Sonar Qila (Golden Fort) — a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the world's only fully inhabited living fort. Visit the intricately carved Patwon Ki Haveli and stroll along the tranquil Gadisar Lake.
Travel to Udaipur — the Venice of the East and India's most romantic city. Arrive by evening with your hotel ideally overlooking the shimmering waters of Lake Pichola.
Visit the grand City Palace — the largest royal complex in Rajasthan — blending Mughal and Rajput architecture across its magnificent courtyards and museums. Take a dreamy boat ride on Lake Pichola, sailing past the iconic Lake Palace Hotel on Jag Niwas island.
Fly from Udaipur to Delhi for your international onward flight, or transfer directly from Udaipur Airport. Your Golden Triangle and Rajasthan journey concludes — with memories woven across 16 days of India at its finest.
