India bestseller with Taj Mahal & Akshardham temple

This is a five-day private car tour through India's Golden Triangle, taking in Delhi, Agra and Jaipur with your own driver and vehicle throughout. It suits anyone wanting a solid first look at India's history and architecture without the logistics of getting between cities yourself.

You'll move from Delhi's mix of old and new, through Agra for the Taj Mahal and its Mughal-era forts, to Jaipur's palaces and bazaars. A stop at Akshardham temple, one of the largest and most modern temples in Asia, adds a different flavour alongside the historic sites.

Guides join you at the main monuments to explain the history and stories behind them, while your driver handles the road transfers between cities.
