Handcrafted Golden Triangle tour packages by Plan Your Destinations. From the majestic Taj Mahal and the grandeur of the Red Fort to the royal palaces of Jaipur, experience India’s most celebrated heritage circuit with private transfers, expert guides, and heritage hotel stays.
The Golden Triangle is India’s most famous and beloved tourist circuit, connecting the three magnificent cities of Delhi, Agra, and Jaipur in a triangular route that spans approximately 720 kilometres. Named for the roughly equilateral triangle these cities form on the map (each approximately 200–250 km apart), the Golden Triangle is the ultimate introduction to India’s rich heritage offering a breathtaking journey through Mughal grandeur, Rajput royalty, British colonial history, and the vibrant pulse of modern India, all in a compact and easily accessible circuit.
The three cities of the Golden Triangle each offer a distinct character: Delhi, the national capital, blends 5,000 years of history with a thriving modern metropolis from the Mughal splendour of Old Delhi’s Red Fort and Jama Masjid to the stately avenues of Lutyens’ New Delhi, India Gate, and the UNESCO-listed Humayun’s Tomb and Qutub Minar. Agra is home to the Taj Mahal one of the Seven Wonders of the World and arguably the most beautiful building ever created by human hands along with the mighty Agra Fort and the ghost city of Fatehpur Sikri. Jaipur, the Pink City and capital of Rajasthan, dazzles with the majestic Amber Fort, the iconic Hawa Mahal (Palace of Winds with 953 windows), the City Palace, and the UNESCO-listed Jantar Mantar astronomical observatory.
For travellers from South India and beyond, the Golden Triangle offers the most efficient way to experience North India’s greatest heritage. The entire circuit can be covered in 4–7 days, with excellent road connectivity (national highways NH 44 and NH 48), fast trains (Shatabdi and Gatimaan Express), and well-developed tourism infrastructure. At Plan Your Destinations, our Golden Triangle tour packages are designed for families, couples, honeymooners, senior citizens, and groups — with private AC vehicles, expert city guides, heritage hotel stays, and options to extend to Ranthambore (tiger safari), Udaipur, Varanasi, or Pushkar.

Every Golden Triangle tour package from Plan Your Destinations immerses you in India’s greatest heritage from Mughal masterpieces and Rajput fortresses to vibrant bazaars and legendary street food.
Delhi is a city layered with 5,000 years of history from ancient Indraprastha to the Mughal empire to the British Raj and modern India. Old Delhi (Shahjahanabad), built by Mughal emperor Shah Jahan in the 17th century, is a sensory feast of narrow lanes, bustling bazaars, and magnificent monuments. Visit the Red Fort (UNESCO World Heritage Site and symbol of India’s independence), Jama Masjid (India’s largest mosque), Chandni Chowk (one of Asia’s oldest and busiest markets), Raj Ghat (Mahatma Gandhi’s memorial), and take a cycle rickshaw ride through the atmospheric old city. In New Delhi, explore the stately India Gate, Rashtrapati Bhavan, Humayun’s Tomb (UNESCO the architectural precursor to the Taj Mahal), Qutub Minar (UNESCO India’s tallest brick minaret at 72.5 metres), and the serene Lotus Temple. Plan Your Destinations includes full-day Old Delhi and New Delhi guided tours.

Agra is home to the Taj Mahal the ivory-white marble mausoleum that is universally regarded as one of the most beautiful structures ever built and one of the Seven Wonders of the World. Built by Mughal emperor Shah Jahan between 1632 and 1653 as a memorial for his beloved wife Mumtaz Mahal, the Taj is a UNESCO World Heritage Site that must be experienced at sunrise for the most magical views. Beyond the Taj, Agra offers the massive Agra Fort (UNESCO a sprawling red sandstone fortress with palaces, audience halls, and gardens), Itimad-ud-Daulah’s Tomb (known as the Baby Taj the first Mughal structure built entirely in marble with intricate pietra dura inlay), and the magnificent ghost city of Fatehpur Sikri (UNESCO Mughal emperor Akbar’s 16th-century capital, abandoned due to water scarcity). Plan Your Destinations arranges sunrise Taj Mahal visits, Agra Fort tours, and Fatehpur Sikri excursions.

Jaipur, the capital of Rajasthan and the final jewel of the Golden Triangle, is a city of royal grandeur, vibrant bazaars, and architectural splendour. Known as the Pink City for the distinctive terracotta-pink colour of its old city buildings (painted in 1876 to welcome the Prince of Wales), Jaipur was founded in 1727 by Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II as India’s first planned city. The magnificent Amber Fort (Amer Fort) is a stunning blend of Hindu and Mughal architecture perched on a hilltop, accessible by jeep ride. The iconic Hawa Mahal (Palace of Winds) features a unique façade with 953 small windows designed for the royal women to observe street life. The City Palace is still partly occupied by the royal family. Jantar Mantar (UNESCO) is the world’s largest stone astronomical observatory. Nahargarh Fort and Jal Mahal (Water Palace) add to Jaipur’s royal allure. Plan Your Destinations includes Amber Fort, Hawa Mahal, City Palace, and Jantar Mantar in all Jaipur packages.
Highlights: Amber Fort, Hawa Mahal (953 Windows), City Palace, Jantar Mantar UNESCO, Nahargarh Fort, Jal Mahal, Bazaars
Located 40 km from Agra on the road to Jaipur, Fatehpur Sikri is a UNESCO World Heritage city built by Mughal emperor Akbar in 1571 as his capital. The city was abandoned just 14 years later, reportedly due to water scarcity, and stands today as a remarkably preserved ghost city of red sandstone. The Buland Darwaza (Gate of Magnificence) at 54 metres is the highest gateway in the world. The Panch Mahal, Jodha Bai’s Palace, Diwan-i-Khas, and the Tomb of Salim Chishti (with its exquisite marble lattice screens) are architectural masterpieces. Plan Your Destinations includes Fatehpur Sikri as a stop between Agra and Jaipur.

Open-top jeep safaris through the park offer the chance to spot Bengal tigers, leopards, sloth bears, crocodiles, and hundreds of bird species against a backdrop of the 10th-century Ranthambore Fort.
