Golden Triangle Tour with Train/Rail Ride - Taj Mahal & Train Ride

New Delhi → Delhi 5 days Up to 19

About this trip

Five days covering Delhi, Agra and Jaipur, the classic Golden Triangle route, with one leg of the journey done by train rather than road. You get the mix of forts, palaces and markets that define these three cities, plus the novelty of watching the countryside pass by from an Indian Railway carriage.

At the centre of it is the Taj Mahal, along with other UNESCO World Heritage Sites and monuments in each city. A professional guide and chauffeured car handle the logistics, so you can focus on the history and the atmosphere of each place.

What you'll do

  • See the Taj Mahal in Agra
  • Take the train from Delhi to Agra
  • Explore Delhi's political and cultural landmarks
  • Walk through Jaipur's forts, palaces and bazaars as the Pink City
  • Visit UNESCO World Heritage Sites across all three cities
  • Travel between cities in a chauffeured car with a guide
Good to know
  • Covers three cities in five days, so expect a fairly packed schedule
  • Includes a guided tour and chauffeured transport throughout
  • One city-to-city leg is done by train rather than car
What travellers actually say

Worth it if you value knowledgeable guides, attentive drivers, and seamless logistics. Think twice if you need flexibility—early starts and long driving days are built in.

  • Guides consistently deliver genuine historical depth; Taj Mahal visits paired with evening and dawn slots maximise impact.
  • Owner Sonia offers hands-on customisation and daily check-ins; drivers like Raju and Shahid navigate chaos safely and go beyond.
  • Early morning starts and 3-4 hour drives between cities are standard; not ideal if you prefer a slower pace.
  • Many sites require cash for admission and student IDs for discounts; airport exchange rates poor, use local changers instead.
