Short answer: ten days lets you do the Golden Triangle and Rajasthan together. See Delhi, Agra and Jaipur, then drive to Pushkar, Jodhpur and Udaipur, ending at the lake city with no backtracking. The longest drive is about six hours.
Ten days takes you around the Golden Triangle and on through Rajasthan. You see Delhi, Agra and Jaipur, then go on to Pushkar, Jodhpur and Udaipur, ending at the lake city with a short flight home or onward. It is a good length for a first trip to India that wants more than three cities.
The route runs one way, so there is no backtracking: you start in Delhi and end in Udaipur. The longest drive is about six hours, between Jaipur and Jodhpur, broken at Pushkar.
Met at the airport and taken to your hotel to rest.
A full day with a licensed guide: Jama Masjid, Chandni Chowk, the Red Fort, Humayun’s Tomb and Qutub Minar. The Red Fort is closed on Mondays.
Drive about 230 km (145 miles) to Agra (three and a half to four hours). Visit Agra Fort and the Taj Mahal in the afternoon light.
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 145 km (90 miles) to Pushkar (two and a half to three hours). Visit the lake, ghats and Brahma temple, then the bazaar at sunset.
Drive about 190 km (120 miles) to Jodhpur (three and a half hours). Visit Mehrangarh Fort in the afternoon.
Drive about 160 km (100 miles) to Ranakpur (three hours) for the Jain temples, open to visitors from about midday, then about 90 km (55 miles) to Udaipur (two hours).
The City Palace, Jagdish Temple and old city, then a boat on Lake Pichola at sunset, subject to the day’s schedule.
Transfer to Udaipur airport or station. A flight to Delhi takes about an hour and a half and is not included.
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.

“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 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!”
