About this trip
This private, custom-paced tour links Delhi, Agra, Jaipur and Ranthambhore National Park in five days, covering both the classic Golden Triangle and a shot at spotting tigers in the wild.
You'll see the Taj Mahal at sunrise or sunset, wander Jaipur's Pink City, and head out on jeep or canter safaris through Ranthambhore with a naturalist guide. Delhi bookends the trip as India's political and cultural capital.
With a private guide throughout, the itinerary can flex to suit you, making this a solid, well-rounded introduction to India for first-time visitors.
