About this trip
This is the classic Golden Triangle route with Varanasi added on, taking in Delhi, Agra, Jaipur and one of the world's oldest living cities over eight days.
Expect a lot of history and architecture — Mughal forts, palaces and temples — alongside the chaos and colour of Indian city life. The pace moves between guided sightseeing and time to explore on your own.
It suits anyone after a solid introduction to north India's big-name sights, with Varanasi giving it a more spiritual, less polished edge than a standard Golden Triangle trip.
What you'll do
- See the Taj Mahal and Agra Fort in Agra
- Explore Amer Fort, City Palace, Jantar Mantar and Hawa Mahal in Jaipur
- Browse Jaipur's local markets
- Take in Delhi, a capital city with roots back to the 6th century BC
- Experience the ghats and daily life of Varanasi, one of the world's oldest continuously inhabited cities
- Partially guided, so some sightseeing is with a guide and some is left for you to do independently
- City-heavy itinerary with a fair amount of ground covered across four bases in eight days
Worth it if you want a well-organised, guide-led intro to India's big hitters with reliable logistics. Think twice if you need flexibility or prefer exploring solo.
- Guides consistently knowledgeable and punctual; drivers reliable across all locations visited.
- Eight days covers Delhi, Varanasi, Agra, and Jaipur properly; enough time to explore each site unhurried.
- Hotel upgrades available mid-tour, but costs extra; factor in optional premium accommodation if desired.
- Repeat customers book again; strong enough experience that people trusted company for second visits.
