And rightfully so, the Golden Triangle of India is an amazing way to explore the unique yet wonderful beauty of the nation. However, just like anything else, not all itineraries are worth your while. Some are too rushed, with no room to breathe or enjoy, while others are unnecessarily long, dragging on in boredom. Therefore, we have curated this Golden Triangle Tour 6 days itinerary for you, which is neither too long nor too short.
During this Golden Triangle tour 5 nights 6 days, you will explore three major cities in India in a span of six days, which allows ample amount of time actually to explore every spot without any rush.

You will visit Delhi, the capital of India, a city known for its historic architecture and modern outlook for the future. It will be followed by a visit to Agra, the city known for one of the Seven Wonders of the World, the Taj Mahal. And finally, you will reach Jaipur, the capital of the Royal Rajasthan, a city known for its beautiful pink hues and romantic feel that has earned it the title of the Paris of India.
Not only that, but you will also have an offbeat experience as you make an en route stop at Fatehpur Sikri, a historic Mughal city with breathtaking architecture and an interesting backstory, during this 5 nights 6 days Golden Triangle tour.

Your India Golden Triangle Tour 6 days will start as soon as you arrive in Delhi. As it is the national capital. The city is well-connected by air, rail, and bus, and you can arrive here by any of these means. As you arrive in Delhi, you will be met by our representative, who will pick you up and take you to your hotel. After checking in, you can get settled and rest for a bit. Depending on when you reach Delhi, you can start your sightseeing on day one itself. It will be mostly light sightseeing, as you will visit some important landmarks nearby and get a first glimpse of the capital’s rich history and vibrant atmosphere. The evening on day one will be free for relaxation or a casual city stroll, making it the perfect time to dig into some delicious local dishes.

You will do the heavy lifting on day two as you will dig a bit deeper into the city and its beauty. Your morning will start with a delicious breakfast, after which you will head out of the hotel and hit the city roads. Today, you will be exploring both Old and New Delhi. To make the exploration hassle-free and more comfortable, you can divide the day into two halves, each half exploring one side. Old Delhi has more of a Mughal touch, with beautiful architecture, including historic mosques, forts, and bustling markets. On the other hand, New Delhi has more of a colonial touch, with some grand monuments and architectural icons that showcase the city’s layered past and cultural diversity.

While Delhi is a beauty hard to part with, there are two more spots on the triangle you need to cover. Therefore, on day three of the golden triangle tour 5 nights 6 days, you will be moving from Delhi to Agra. But before that, enjoy a delicious breakfast in Delhi and check out of your hotel. Once you are on the road, you can enjoy the journey with a scenic view of the countryside of the nation.
Upon arrival in Agra, you will be checked into your hotel with enough time to settle in before you head straight out and start exploring this city, which is home to one of the seven wonders of the world. What better place than the Taj Mahal itself when it comes to starting your Agra exploration journey? There are no words that can ever justify the beauty of this architectural masterpiece of white marble. Once you have visited the Taj, you must also explore the massive Agra Fort, a historic Mughal stronghold, and, if time permits, the elegant tomb known as the “Baby Taj”.

Day four will have some uniqueness to it as not only will you be moving from the second spot to the final golden dot, Jaipur, but you will also make an en route stop at a beautiful historic city. But before any of that, enjoy your breakfast in Agra, and check out of the hotel. As you start moving towards Jaipur, first make an en route stop at Fatehpur Sikri. It is a well-preserved Mughal city known for its grand gateways and palaces. Once you have fully explored this historic city, continue your journey to Jaipur. Upon arrival, check into your hotel and spend the evening at leisure. If time permits and you have the energy, you can start with a light exploration of the city and its local markets. You can also try some of the delicious delicacies the city has to offer.

While you did arrive in Jaipur on day four, you have yet to truly explore it. So as soon as you are done with your breakfast, hop into the vehicle and hit the roads of the city. The city is a famous tourist spot with several names, like the 'pink city' and the 'Paris of India'. It is one of the most beautiful and mesmerising cities. It is full of culture, tradition and a very rich royal heritage. You should start your day’s itinerary by visiting the hilltop Amber Fort, followed by the City Palace, the Jantar Mantar observatory, and the iconic Hawa Mahal. Once you have covered all the famous spots, you must visit the local markets and enjoy your time shopping in colourful bazaars and experiencing local culture.

Day six will be the last day of this 5 nights 6 days golden triangle tour. As it is the last day, most of the day will be spent travelling, as you will need to return from Jaipur to Delhi. But you must enjoy your last breakfast in Jaipur before you check out of the hotel and finally hit the road. If your departure from Delhi is scheduled for later, you can do some more exploration in the city or shop around the local markets. The time to bid you adieu will come closer; our representative will drop you off at a spot of your choosing, be it Delhi airport, a railway station, a bus stop or any other place within the city, concluding the Golden Triangle tour.
