Short answer: yes, you can add Jodhpur to the Golden Triangle in seven days. See Delhi, Agra and Jaipur, then drive about 340 km (five and a half to six hours) to Jodhpur for Mehrangarh Fort and the blue lanes of the old city. The tour ends in Jodhpur.
Jodhpur is the gateway to the Rajasthan desert: a vast fort on a rock above a maze of blue-painted houses. Adding it to the Golden Triangle gives you a fort of a very different scale from Amber, and a feel of western Rajasthan.
The route runs one way, from Delhi to Agra and Jaipur and then to Jodhpur, about 340 km (210 miles) from Jaipur and five and a half to six hours. We break it with a stop at Ajmer or Pushkar if you wish. You end in Jodhpur, which has an airport and train station.
Met at the airport and taken to your hotel. If you arrive early, an easy afternoon in Old and New Delhi.
Drive about 230 km (145 miles) to Agra (three and a half to four hours). Visit Agra Fort and the Taj Mahal.
Drive about 240 km (150 miles) to Jaipur (five to six hours), stopping at Fatehpur Sikri.
Visit Amber Fort (by jeep or on foot) early, then the City Palace and Jantar Mantar.
Drive about 340 km (210 miles) to Jodhpur (five and a half to six hours), with a stop at Pushkar or Ajmer. Arrive in the late afternoon.
Visit Mehrangarh Fort and Jaswant Thada in the morning, then walk through the blue lanes of the old city. In the afternoon, visit a Bishnoi village.
Transfer to Jodhpur airport or station for your onward journey.
The Golden Triangle is the most travelled route in India, and a few details make it feel easy.
The same driver stays with you throughout, and a licensed local guide joins you in each city.
The Taj Mahal is never planned on a Friday, when it is closed, and Amber Fort is visited early.
A government-approved guide joins you in each city, matched to the language and pace you prefer.
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.

“We have the highest praise for our guide Bobby during our early morning visit to the Taj Mahal. It was also our 40th wedding anniversary, so this visit was very special to us.”
“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!”
“…He was very responsive and was always available when we had any questions. He also recommended hotels and places to stay. He was very flexible with providing guides only for the requested days.”
“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.”
“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.”
“I had an amazing time with Kishan (driver) and Bobby (guide). They both are very polite, nice and easy going. Bobby taught me so many facts and interesting things about Taj Mahal and India Culture in general.”
