Overview

The 5 Days Golden Triangle Tour is one of the most popular tourist circuits in India, covering three historic cities: Delhi, Agra, and Jaipur. Each city is renowned for its rich history, cultural heritage, and architectural marvels, making this tour a must-do for travelers seeking a glimpse into India’s vibrant past.

Visit the Taj Mahal, one of the New Seven Wonders of the World, and explore its beauty.

Visit the Agra Fort, a UNESCO World Heritage Site

Visit Mehtab Bagh for a view of the Taj Mahal at sunset

Explore the bustling streets of Old Delhi, including the iconic Red Fort, Jama Masjid, and Chandni Chowk.

Visit Raj Ghat, the memorial of Mahatma Gandhi.

Visit the City Palace, a beautiful palace complex with museums and courtyards.

See the Hawa Mahal (Palace of Winds), an iconic Jaipur landmark known for its intricate latticework.

The extra two days over our 3-day Golden Triangle tour go entirely into pace, not extra stops: a full day in Agra rather than a single afternoon, so there's time for both the Taj Mahal at sunrise and Agra Fort without rushing between them, and a full day in Jaipur for Amber Fort, City Palace and Hawa Mahal instead of compressing all three into one visit. The drive from Agra to Jaipur also stops at Fatehpur Sikri, the abandoned 16th-century Mughal capital, which the shorter 3-day version usually has to skip.

If five days still feels rushed, our 6-day Golden Triangle tour adds a second night in Jaipur. If you'd rather move faster, see the 3-day version. And for the 5-star upgrade — private chauffeur, luxury hotels throughout — see our luxury Golden Triangle tour. All of our Delhi–Agra–Jaipur itineraries are on the Golden Triangle tours page.

The 3-day tour compresses Delhi, Agra and Jaipur into a fast loop with a single afternoon in each city. Five days adds a full extra day split between Agra and Jaipur, so you're not rushing the Taj Mahal or Amber Fort. See our Golden Triangle tours for the full range of trip lengths.
Does this tour stop at Fatehpur Sikri?
Yes — the abandoned Mughal capital of Fatehpur Sikri is a stop on the drive between Agra and Jaipur.
