About this trip
This private tour takes you through five of India's most visited destinations in ten days: Delhi, Agra, Jaipur, Khajuraho and Varanasi. It's a classic Golden Triangle route with two significant additions, giving you a wider sweep of history, architecture and daily life than the standard circuit.
Expect a mix of grand monuments and street-level texture — forts and palaces alongside old-city markets, rickshaw rides and river ghats. The pace is steady rather than rushed, with a private air-conditioned vehicle and guide throughout.
It suits travellers who want the headline sights of India covered properly, with some family-friendly flexibility built in since it runs as a private trip rather than a fixed group departure.
What you'll do
- Ride a rickshaw through the markets and lanes of Old Delhi
- See the Taj Mahal in Agra, including a tonga ride to reach it
- Explore Fatehpur Sikri's 16th-century palaces and Buland Darwaza
- Tour Jaipur's Amer Fort, Hawa Mahal, City Palace and Jantar Mantar
- Take a sunrise boat ride along the ghats of Varanasi
- Visit the temples of Khajuraho
- Private tour with your own guide and air-conditioned vehicle throughout
- Accommodation is in 3-star hotels
- Runs as a private departure, so timings can flex to suit families or small groups
Worth it if you want reliable guides, excellent drivers, and seamless logistics. Think twice if you need flexibility—weather can cancel key activities like boat trips.
- Drivers Babloo, Vikram, and Singh consistently praised for punctuality, comfort, water provision, and going beyond itinerary.
- Sunrise boat on the Ganges with knowledgeable guides like Adil and Wasim is genuinely transformative; guides handle logistics brilliantly.
- Weather can scupper boat trips; one group couldn't catch the Ganges boat due to poor conditions with no workaround.
- Airport pickups happen at odd hours (01:00 noted); expect early starts and long travel days between Golden Triangle sites.
