The Golden Triangle Tour (Delhi-Agra-Jaipur-Delhi) - 3N 4D

The most popular tour circuit in India for a very good reason. Delhi, Jaipur and Agra are three cities that capture your imagination and take you into the fascinating, decadent and passionate world of the Mughals and Maharajas. What they left behind is some of the world’s best architecture, from the Qutub Minar in Delhi to the Amber Fort in Jaipur and of course the Taj Mahal in Agra.
