About this trip
This week-long trip runs the classic Golden Triangle route of Delhi, Agra and Jaipur, timed each year to land you in Jaipur for the Holi festival itself.
Alongside the colour-throwing and music of Holi, you take in the region's major architectural sights, including the Taj Mahal in Agra, with a fully guided group moving between the three cities over 7 days and 6 nights.
It's built as an easy-paced introduction to India's Golden Triangle with the Holi celebrations as the centrepiece, rather than a deep dive into any one city.
What you'll do
- Celebrate Holi in Jaipur, the Pink City, with folk dancers and musicians
- See the Taj Mahal in Agra
- Explore the sights of Delhi
- Explore Jaipur's forts and old city architecture
- Travel the classic Delhi-Agra-Jaipur Golden Triangle route
- Fully guided throughout, with an easy overall pace
- Dates are set each year to coincide with the Holi festival, so check the exact Holi date for your travel year
- Expect crowded, colour-soaked streets during the Holi celebrations in Jaipur
Worth it if you want authentic Golden Triangle sites, genuine Holi immersion, and personal service with strong guides. Think twice if you're budget-conscious about drinks—they cost noticeably more than expected.
- Local guides speak excellent English, explain history and culture thoroughly, and go genuinely out of their way.
- Holi celebration felt authentic—guides fast-tracked queues and invited groups into their family homes for real cultural exchange.
- Drinks aren't included in the all-meals package and cost noticeably more than travellers anticipated.
- Four-star hotels included and often exceeded expectations; airport pickups happen at any hour, including 1.30 am arrivals.
