About this trip
This 9-day fixed departure runs through Delhi, Mathura, Vrindavan, Agra and Jaipur, built around one big event: Holi, the Festival of Colours, celebrated in the towns most associated with it.
You get the classic Golden Triangle sights alongside the festival — Mughal architecture in Agra and Delhi, royal forts and palaces in Jaipur — plus a sunrise visit to the Taj Mahal and a rickshaw ride through Old Delhi's streets.
It's a guided, easy-paced trip with a driver and vehicle throughout, suited to those who want the festival experience wrapped into a proper first look at northern India.
What you'll do
- Celebrate Holi with colours, food and local tradition in Mathura
- Watch the sunrise over the Taj Mahal in Agra
- Ride a rickshaw through Old Delhi and pass the Red Fort, Jama Mosque and Humayun's Tomb
- Take a jeep up to Amber Fort in Jaipur
- Tour Hawa Mahal, City Palace and Jantar Mantar in Jaipur
- Explore Agra Fort and other Mughal-era sites
- Easy-paced city and culture trip with a guide and chauffeur-driven vehicle throughout
- Timed specifically around the Holi festival dates, so expect crowds and colour, not a quiet visit
- Suits families and groups wanting a structured, partially guided introduction to India
Worth it if you want an immersive Holi experience with solid guides and varied sightseeing. Think twice if you're picky about hotel standards or need flexibility on timing.
- Guides (Krish, Ram Sir, Sunil Sir) genuinely invested; drivers stayed consistent, making solo travellers feel secure.
- Hotel quality varies noticeably; solo travellers get no input on star rating, risking isolated or substandard stays.
- Holi celebration ends early to return to hotel, cutting into the festival despite it being the trip's centrepiece.
- Pushkar Fair, camel rides, camping, and multiple cities deliver genuine variety; group energy consistently positive.
