Short answer: six days gives you a full sightseeing day in Delhi, then the Taj Mahal in Agra and two nights in Jaipur. Old Delhi fills the morning, New Delhi the afternoon, and each road leg after that is under six hours.
Delhi deserves more than a pit stop, and the six day plan gives it a full day. You spend your first full morning in Old Delhi, with its great mosque, the lanes of Chandni Chowk and the Red Fort, and your afternoon among the gardens and monuments of New Delhi, from Humayun’s Tomb to Qutub Minar.
After two nights in the capital, you head to Agra for the Taj Mahal, then Jaipur for two nights, which means the route does not rush its second half either. It is the plan we suggest when travellers tell us they love cities, food and history more than beaches or open landscapes.
If Delhi is a stop you have already done, the five day plan is lighter. If you want the Taj at sunrise as well, our seven day plan adds a second night in Agra.
You are met at the airport and taken to your hotel. Take the evening as it comes: dinner nearby, or an early night before a big day tomorrow.
In the morning, a guide leads you into Old Delhi: Jama Masjid, a rickshaw ride through Chandni Chowk, and the Red Fort. After lunch, Humayun’s Tomb, the tall minaret of Qutub Minar and India Gate. The Red Fort is closed on Mondays, so on those days we swap in another sight.
The 230 km (145 miles) drive takes three and a half to four hours. By the afternoon, you are at the Taj Mahal, followed by Agra Fort and a sunset view across the Yamuna if time allows.
About 240 km (150 miles) to Jaipur, five to six hours, with an hour among the red sandstone halls of Fatehpur Sikri on the way. Arrive in the Pink City by late afternoon.
Amber Fort by jeep or on foot, then the City Palace, Jantar Mantar and a photo stop at Hawa Mahal. The afternoon is for the bazaars or a quiet rest.
The 280 km (175 miles) return takes five to six hours, with a stop on the way. You are dropped at the airport or hotel in the evening.
The Golden Triangle is simple to plan and easy to get wrong. These are the details we handle for you.
A full day lets us pair Old Delhi’s lanes with New Delhi’s calm, instead of racing across both in a couple of hours.
The Old Delhi walk and rickshaw ride is the best way to see the markets, and a guide helps you eat well without worry.
After the Delhi day, the rest of the route keeps a gentle rhythm, including a full Jaipur day.
Your guide is chosen for the language you prefer and the things you love. Ask for Japanese or Russian and we will arrange it where we can.
Here is every leg with its distance and likely drive time. Times vary with traffic and stops.
| Leg | Distance | Drive time | Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Delhi to Agra | about 230 km (145 miles) | 3.5 to 4 hours | Expressway, with a stop for refreshments |
| Agra to Jaipur | about 240 km (150 miles) | 5 to 6 hours | Fatehpur Sikri, planned as an hour-long stop |
| Jaipur to Delhi | about 280 km (175 miles) | 5 to 6 hours | Mid-morning start, lunch on the way |

“I went to India alone and had an amazing experience with my tour guide, shiraz. He showed me all the beautiful places that india has to offer and even brought to places that was not initially planned after requesting it to make sure that I was completely satisfied with my tour.”
“Excellent tour! Ali was a great driver and Bobby was a wonderful guide. They took care of everything. Highly recommend!”
“Very awesome experience.. extremely professional and courteous, the chauffeur and the guides were very knowledgeable and knew the way to maneuver the system. They were highly flexible in adapting to any changes in my schedule.”
“We actually did 14 days which included a trip to Varanasi, then the Golden Triangle & out to Jaisalmer. Every step of the way we were accompanied by Bobby. Our Driver & coach was super, but focus on detail and ensuring that the safety & wellbeing of individual travellers was met, really put the trip at an all time high!”
