Golden Triangle Tour with Jodhpur, Udaipur & Mumbai

This 11-day private tour takes you across six cities in northern and western India, from the Mughal monuments of Delhi and Agra through Rajasthan's forts and lakes to the island city of Mumbai. You travel by private vehicle with your own driver throughout, with a mix of guided sightseeing and free time.

Expect a fair amount of ground covered — this is a proper tour of the region's big cultural landmarks, including nine World Heritage sites, rather than a slow look at one place. It suits travellers who want the classic India itinerary done comfortably, with private transport and standard 3-star hotels rather than a group bus and hostel dorms.

The route moves from Delhi's history and street life to the Taj Mahal in Agra, the palaces and bazaars of Jaipur, the forts of Jodhpur and Udaipur's lakes, before finishing in Mumbai's very different, modern energy.
