Delhi–Agra–Jaipur, Rajasthan Rajasthan 4.8 (214 reviews)

About This Package

The Golden Triangle remains India's most iconic travel circuit, and this 6 days 5 nights journey from Delhi through Agra to Jaipur is built to cover three cities that define the country's Mughal and Rajput heritage in one well-paced trip. For NCR travellers, it's a rare chance to experience world-class monuments — including the Taj Mahal — without the logistics of planning multi-city transport and stays independently.
The itinerary opens in Delhi with a contrast of old and new — a rickshaw ride through Chandni Chowk's narrow lanes and Jama Masjid, followed by India Gate, Humayun's Tomb, and Qutub Minar in New Delhi. Day three moves to Agra, timed for an early Taj Mahal visit when the marble catches the soft morning light and crowds are thinnest, followed by Agra Fort's sweeping views of the monument from its inner chambers. En route to Jaipur, a stop at Fatehpur Sikri — Emperor Akbar's abandoned red-sandstone capital — adds a layer most standard packages skip. Jaipur closes the trip with Amber Fort's hilltop ramparts, the City Palace still home to Jaipur's royal family, and the honeycomb facade of Hawa Mahal, with free evenings for Johari Bazaar's block-print textiles and blue pottery.
The package includes 5 nights of hotel accommodation with daily breakfast, AC vehicle transfers for the full Delhi–Agra–Jaipur circuit and all local sightseeing, monument entry fees as per the itinerary, and expert local guides at the Taj Mahal, Agra Fort, and Jaipur's major sites.
Pack & Go is a Gurugram-based travel agency specialising in planned, hassle-free trips for NCR travellers. Our team handles hotel bookings, vehicle coordination, guide arrangements, and daily logistics, so the focus stays on the monuments and the experience rather than the planning around them.
This Golden Triangle package suits first-time visitors to North India, families travelling together, and anyone wanting a well-structured introduction to Mughal and Rajput heritage without building the itinerary from scratch. Note that the Taj Mahal is closed on Fridays, so travel dates are planned around this. Reach out to our team to check current availability and confirm your dates.

Day-wise Itinerary (6 Days / 5 Nights)

Day 1: Arrival in Delhi — City Orientation

Arrive in Delhi and check in to your hotel. The afternoon is free to settle in and explore your neighbourhood at your own pace — perhaps a stroll through Connaught Place or Khan Market. In the evening, your Pack & Go trip leader briefs the group on the days ahead over a welcome meet.

Meals: None

Day 2: Old Delhi & New Delhi Sightseeing

Start the morning with a rickshaw ride through the narrow lanes of Chandni Chowk, stopping at Jama Masjid and the spice market. After lunch, cross into New Delhi to see India Gate, the Parliament building, and the imposing facade of Humayun's Tomb — a Mughal gem that inspired the Taj itself. Wind up the day at Qutub Minar as the sun dips below the ancient minaret.

Meals: Breakfast

Day 3: Delhi to Agra — The Taj at Sunrise

Early morning drive to Agra (approx. 3.5 hours) to catch the Taj Mahal in the gentle morning light — the crowds are thinner and the marble glows soft pink. Spend a couple of hours exploring the monument and its gardens. Post lunch, visit the magnificent Agra Fort, a UNESCO World Heritage site with direct views of the Taj from its inner chambers.

Meals: Breakfast

Day 4: Agra to Jaipur via Fatehpur Sikri

En route to Jaipur, make a stop at Fatehpur Sikri — Emperor Akbar's abandoned red-sandstone capital, frozen in time. The drive continues through rural Rajasthan with roadside dhabas and mustard fields. Arrive in Jaipur by early evening and check in to your hotel. Evening is free to explore the vibrant bazaars of the Pink City.

Meals: Breakfast

Day 5: Jaipur — Palaces, Forts & Markets

Full day exploring Jaipur's iconic landmarks. Begin at the hilltop Amber Fort, reaching the entrance by a short jeep ride. Continue to the City Palace — still home to the royal family — and step inside the Hawa Mahal for a street-level view of its iconic honeycomb facade. The evening is yours to hunt for block-print textiles, blue pottery, and silver jewellery in Johari Bazaar.

Meals: Breakfast

Day 6: Jaipur Departure — Journey Home

After breakfast, check out of the hotel. Depending on your departure time you can do a quick visit to the local market for last-minute souvenirs. Your cab drops you at Jaipur Railway Station or Airport. Carry the memories of three royal cities back home with you.

Meals: Breakfast

Traveler Reviews

4.8 ★ (214 reviews)
Priya Malhotra — 5 ★

We'd been planning the Golden Triangle trip for two years and Pack & Go finally made it happen. The Taj Mahal visit in the early morning was exactly as magical as people say — highly recommend getting there before 8 AM. Our guide in Agra was fantastic, very knowledgeable without being pushy about shopping stops.

Rohit Kapoor — 4 ★

Good value for a 6-day trip. Hotels were clean and well-located in each city. The Fatehpur Sikri stop on the way to Jaipur was a nice surprise — we hadn't expected to enjoy it as much as the main sites. Only wish dinners were included too, but the team always recommended good local spots nearby.

Anita Sharma — 5 ★

Took this trip with my husband and in-laws — three generations on one holiday! The cab was comfortable enough for four and the driver was very patient with our slow pace at every monument. Amber Fort alone is worth the entire trip. Will definitely book with Pack & Go again for our next one.
