Tours

The Golden Triangle is a classic introduction to India. If you have never been to the subcontinent before, this nine day tour is the perfect introduction. The three Indian cities - Delhi, Jaipur and Agra - speak history like no other book can. See with your own eyes the glory of the iconic yesteryear, giving a sense of nostalgia and a sense of belonging. Delhi has the influence of Moghul and British architecture, whereas Jaipur is known for being India’s first planned city where Rajputana architecture shines with its parks, gardens, monuments and palaces-turned-hotels beautifully laid out, while Agra, once the heart of the Moghul Empire, boasts the unparalleled beauty of the Taj Mahal which adorns the banks of the Yamuna River. Once the main tour is complete, enjoy an extension to the holy city of Amritsar, located near the India-Pakistan border. This city boasts beautiful architecture based around a lake, parks and an interesting cultural mix. 

TOUR HIGHLIGHTS

Delhi: Old and New Delhi come to life during visits to the Jama Masjid, Qutab Minar and the grandiose colonial district

Jaipur: Admire the amazing Amber Fort, visit the dazzling City Palace and see the romantic Palace of the Winds

Agra: Behold the love poem written in stone that is the Taj Mahal and explore the city’s imposing Red Fort

Amritsar: Besides the Golden Temple, Amritsar is home to many sites of historic, spiritual and cultural significance. In addition, the city is famous for its woollens, carpets and blankets, bangles and embroidery

Day 1: ARRIVAL DELHI

Once you arrive at Indira Gandhi International Airport, a representative will meet and greet you, followed by a transfer to your hotel. Delhi encapsulates two very different worlds, the ‘old’ and the ‘new’, each presenting deliciously different experiences. Rambunctious Old Delhi, the Muslim Indian capital between the 17th and 19th century, has many mosques, monuments, forts and bazaars with a distinctive mediaeval flavour. New Delhi, the imperial city created by the British, flaunts a surprising number of impressive monuments reflecting the glory of the Mughal, Turk, Persian and ultimately the British rulers. In the evening, enjoy a welcome briefing session with the tour manager. 

Overnight in Delhi.

Day 2: DELHI SIGHTSEEING TOUR

After breakfast, go out on a sightseeing tour of Delhi visiting highlights of Old & New Delhi. Start the tour by visiting the largest monument of Old Delhi, the imposing Red Fort (Closed on Mondays). Very near the fort is the 17th-century Jama Masjid (‘Friday Mosque’), the largest mosque in India. Walk through the famous bazaars of Chandni Chowk to experience the hustle and bustle of a crowded oriental bazaar. Also visit Raj Ghat, the Mahatma Gandhi memorial, a simple black marble platform that marks the spot of his cremation. In New Delhi, visit the India Gate, the memorial of the First World War and the road that leads from there to the President House, flanked by the houses of Parliament, the Secretariat building followed by the Humayun’s Tomb, also known as the forerunner of the Taj Mahal. End your tour, before your return to the hotel, by visiting Qutub Minar, the tallest brick minaret of its kind in the world. 

Overnight in Delhi.

Day 3: DELHI – JAIPUR (235km – 5.5 hrs)

Wake up to breakfast at the hotel and proceed to Jaipur. Food fit for royalty, stunning historical monuments, a merry shopping scene and legendary Rajput hospitality: Jaipur offers all this and more. Jaipur is affectionately known as the ‘Pink City’ due to its numerous pink-coloured buildings; at sunset, the mellow golden rays bathe the pink façades in an indescribably beautiful way. Check in on arrival at your hotel and enjoy the rest of the afternoon at leisure.

Overnight in Jaipur.

Day 4: JAIPUR SIGHTSEEING TOUR

Breakfast at the hotel is followed by a morning tour of Amber Fort. Located on a spur overlooking a lake, Amber Fort’s robust, time-ravaged walls appear imposing from the outside but they hide an interior packed with beautifully decorated palaces and temples and landscaped gardens. Be dazzled by Sheesh Mahal, a room with all four walls and the ceiling completely embedded with glittering mirror pieces. Admire the frescoes of the Ganesh Pol gate and the colonnade of the Diwan-i-Aam. Return to the old city to visit the City Palace and the beautiful palaces within, such as the Chandra Mahal and Mubarak Mahal and the intricately decorated Peacock Gate. Also of interest is the Armoury Museum, which houses an impressive collection of antique weapons such as blunderbusses, flintlocks, swords, rifles and daggers, which belonged to the royals. Continue to Jantar Mantar, the astonishing largest stone astronomical observatory in the world. Consisting of 14 major geometric devices for measuring time, predicting eclipses, tracking stars in their orbits, ascertaining the declination of planets and determining the celestial altitudes, the observatory is a major attraction in Jaipur. End your tour by making a stop at the spellbinding Hawa Mahal or Palace of the Winds (photo stop) and the famous Johari bazaar famous for its jewels and saris, the Tripolia bazaar with bronzes, sculptures and lacquerware, the Bapu bazaar renowned for its perfumes and textiles, and Chandpol bazaar for pottery and bracelets.

Overnight in Jaipur.

Day 5: JAIPUR – AGRA (250km – 6 hrs)

After replenishing your energy with breakfast at the hotel, take to the road and drive to Agra on the banks of the River Yamuna. Agra rose to fame in the 17th century as the capital of the Mughal Empire and was beautified with gardens, waterfalls, bathhouses and canals. In modern times, the city houses a thriving crafts industry, including marble inlay work and carpets. On arrival check-in at your new hotel. 

Overnight in Agra.

Day 6: AGRA – DELHI (200km – 3 hrs)

Begin the day with one last breakfast at the hotel before a sightseeing tour of Agra, which includes the awe-inspiring Taj Mahal. Built in the mid-17th century by the heartbroken Shah Jahan following the death in childbirth of his queen, Mumtaz Mahal, this mausoleum is an eternal love poem written in stone. During the visit, admire the intricacy of the work of the 20,000 craftsmen who were brought from Persia, Turkey, France and Italy to build this astonishing monument. (Closed on Fridays). Continue the tour and visit the Agra Fort, whose forbidding red sandstone battlements hide a number of majestic Mughal palaces. Explore the delightful Diwan-i-Am (Hall of Public Audience) where the emperor once sat on his throne to address his people and the Diwan-i-Khas (Hall of Private Audience) where he hosted kings and foreign dignitaries. The white marble Mina Masjid (Heavenly Mosque) stands in contrast to the rest of the Red Fort. Afterwards,  drive back to Delhi, and check-in at your hotel.

Overnight in Delhi.

Day 7: DELHI – AMRITSAR ( 7.5 hrs, by train)

An early start today to board the Shatabdi Express train for Amritsar. Upon arrival at the Amritsar Railway Station, meet and greet by our representative followed by a transfer to your hotel (early check-in requested). In the afternoon, you are met by your driver and transferred just under 30 kilometres to the Wagah border with Pakistan to witness the border ceremony. This interesting ceremony lasts around 45 minutes and starts with high patriotic spirits from both sides of the border. Soldiers march towards the gate at the border, which is thrown open when they reach the threshold. The soldiers salute each other and start lowering the flags, which are lowered at the same time. The soldiers retrieve and fold the flags, the gate slams shut, and a trumpet sounds the end of the ceremony. The soldiers then return with their country’s respective flag. After the ceremony, return to your hotel.

Overnight in Amritsar.

Day 8: AMRITSAR SIGHTSEEING TOUR

Breakfast at the hotel is followed by a morning tour of Amritsar city. Visit the Golden Temple, the most sacred place of the Sikhs. In front of the Golden Temple sits the beautiful Akal Takhat where very important issues are discussed pertaining to the Sikh community. Then visit Jallianwala Bagh, nowadays a public garden, where British General Dyer Had ordered his army to open fire and killed 480 innocent people. Later visit Durgiana Mandir, dedicated to the goddess Durga, which also lies in the middle of a medium sized lake providing a wonderful view. The temple was built in the style of the Golden Temple. End your tour with the visit to local market for souvenir shopping. Remainder of the day is at leisure.

Overnight in Amritsar.

Day 9: AMRITSAR – DEPART DELHI (6 hrs, by train)

After breakfast, check-out from the hotel with an assisted transfer to the Amritsar Railway Station to board the return train for Delhi. On arrival in Delhi, transfer to the airport to board your onward flight (flight not included).     

Comfortable and light clothing is the most suitable for travelling in India.
