About this trip
Eight days across India's classic Golden Triangle, with Mandawa added into the mix. You take in Delhi, Agra and Jaipur, three cities that between them cover a long stretch of India's cultural and architectural history.
Expect grand forts, palaces and monuments, from the capital's historic sites to the Taj Mahal in Agra and the Pink City of Jaipur, once home to Rajput kings. Mandawa brings a fourth layer to the route beyond the usual triangle.
This is a fully guided group tour, with the pace built around moving between these key sights rather than lingering long in any one place.
What you'll do
- Explore Delhi's historical and architectural landmarks
- See the Taj Mahal in Agra
- Visit Jaipur, the Pink City of the Rajput kings
- Take in the sights of Mandawa
- Fully guided group tour, suited to families and those who prefer a set itinerary
- Covers four cities in eight days, so expect a fair amount of travel between stops
Worth it if you want knowledgeable guides and a reliable driver handling long drives smoothly. Think twice if you're arriving early—confirm hotel check-in costs upfront, and research Mandawa's limited appeal before committing.
- Guides were genuinely knowledgeable about history; drivers stayed with you throughout, offering practical advice at each stop.
- First Delhi hotel (Amara) was filthy with stained sheets and disgusting breakfast; early arrival triggered unexpected £40 check-in fee.
- Mandawa's three-hour drive yields one dusty village with limited activities; many felt it wasn't worth the time commitment.
- Agra itinerary forced choice between Taj Mahal and Fort due to arrival timing—both should feasibly fit the schedule.
