Tour Plan
Start your day at Jama Masjid, one of the largest and most stunning mosques in India. Built by Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan in the 17th century, this massive red sandstone structure features three grand gates, four towers, and two 40-meter-high minarets. Climb one for panoramic views of Old Delhi!
Drive Past: Red Fort
Next, enjoy a scenic drive past the Red Fort, another majestic creation of Shah Jahan. Though you won't be entering, the sight of its massive red sandstone walls is breathtaking, especially in the morning light.
Drive Past: Parliament House & President’s House (Rashtrapati Bhavan)
Continue your journey through the heart of Lutyens’ Delhi, driving past the impressive Parliament House and the President’s House, symbols of British colonial architecture and India’s administrative heritage. The grand avenues and wide boulevards are a stark contrast to Old Delhi’s buzzing alleys.
Visit India Gate
As you enter New Delhi, stop briefly for photos at India Gate, a war memorial honoring 70,000 Indian soldiers who died during World War I. It's surrounded by beautifully landscaped gardens and makes for a serene photo spot.
Lotus Temple (Closed on Mondays)
If you’re visiting on any day but Monday, stop at the serene Lotus Temple, a Bahá'í House of Worship known for its flower-like architecture and tranquil environment. The temple is open to all, regardless of religion, and is a perfect spot for quiet reflection.
Qutub Minar
Next, head to the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Qutub Minar, a 72.5-meter-tall minaret built in 1193. It’s the tallest brick minaret in the world and is surrounded by ancient ruins, including the Iron Pillar of Delhi that has withstood rust for centuries.
Humayun’s Tomb
Wrap up your tour at Humayun’s Tomb, another UNESCO gem and the resting place of Mughal Emperor Humayun. This Persian-style garden tomb served as an architectural inspiration for the Taj Mahal and offers a peaceful, photogenic end to your day.
In the late afternoon, you’ll leave the urban chaos of Delhi behind and begin the scenic drive to Agra via the Yamuna Expressway (approx. 3.5–4 hours). Check into your hotel and rest up for a day full of wonder ahead.
Start your day early with the highlight of the tour—a sunrise visit to the Taj Mahal. As the first rays of sun touch its white marble dome, you’ll see why this wonder of the world has captivated millions.
Incredible Sites in Agra:
Taj Mahal: Built by Emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his beloved wife Mumtaz Mahal, the Taj is a symbol of eternal love and the crown jewel of Mughal architecture.
Agra Fort: Another UNESCO-listed gem, this red sandstone fortress was once the seat of Mughal power, housing palaces, mosques, and grand halls.
After a hearty breakfast, the journey continues with a stop at Fatehpur Sikri, about an hour’s drive from Agra. Known as the “ghost city,” it was the short-lived capital of Emperor Akbar and is home to stunning architecture like:
Buland Darwaza: The towering entrance gate that symbolizes Akbar’s military triumph.
Jama Masjid: One of the largest mosques in India, still active today.
Panch Mahal: A five-story pavilion offering panoramic views of the palace complex.
Continue your drive to Jaipur, the capital of Rajasthan and the famed Pink City (approx. 4.5 hours). On arrival, check in to your hotel and relax for the night.
The final leg of your journey takes you through the royal history and vibrant colors of Jaipur. After breakfast, your guided sightseeing tour unveils the best of Rajasthani heritage.
🏰 Top Jaipur Attractions:
- Amber Fort: Perched on a hilltop, this 16th-century fort blends Mughal and Rajput architecture. Enjoy an optional elephant ride or jeep ride to the entrance and explore ornate halls like Sheesh Mahal (Mirror Palace).
- City Palace: The royal residence of the Jaipur Maharaja, now partly a museum showcasing regal costumes, weapons, and art.
- Jantar Mantar: A UNESCO World Heritage Site, this open-air observatory features enormous instruments that still accurately measure time and track celestial movements.
- Hawa Mahal (Palace of Winds): One of Jaipur’s most iconic landmarks, this pink sandstone façade was built for royal women to observe city life unseen.
After a day filled with architectural beauty and cultural insights, it's time to return to Delhi in the evening (approx. 5 hours by road), where your incredible Golden Triangle Tour concludes.
