Six-day private circuit through the Golden Triangle
6-Day Private Tour of the Golden Triangle
Best for: Travelers who want a slower, broader route through Delhi, Agra, and Jaipur in one private trip
This private tour is the most extended of the three and follows the Golden Triangle route across Delhi, Agra, and Jaipur. The structure is multi-day, so the experience is less about a single sightseeing day and more about covering a wider itinerary at a slower pace. Included items are limited to private transportation, an air-conditioned vehicle, and all fees and taxes. The listed route touches Old Delhi, the Old Delhi Market, Akshardham Temple, the Taj Mahal at sunrise, and Jaipur sightseeing before the return to Delhi. It is a practical choice for travelers who want a longer overland journey rather than a quick visit.

It includes private car transport, hotel pickup and drop-off, bottled water, taxes and handling charges, and breakfast. The hotel category varies by option, with 3-star, 4-star, and 5-star choices listed. The itinerary covers Delhi to Agra on the first leg, with visits to Itimad-ud-Daulah and Mehtab Bagh, then Agra back to Delhi with Agra Fort and the Taj Mahal.

Choosing the right itinerary style for New Delhi

Delhi to Agra and back
A same-day private drive with guided stops in Agra before returning to Delhi.
Delhi, Agra, Jaipur loop
A private multi-day route linking the three cities with sightseeing along the way.
Delhi to Agra overnight and back
An overnight private trip that adds hotel time between the outbound and return sightseeing.
