Details

A visit to the incredible Taj Mahal and other great Moghul cities close to Delhi is an excellent way to begin or end a visit to Northern India. The Taj Mahal in Agra was built by the Moghul Emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his beloved wife, Mumtaz Mahal, who died in 1631, and is one of the most beautiful sights on earth. Close by is the imposing Red Fort of Akbar with its beautiful courtyards and palaces and let's not forget the deserted royal city of Fatehpur Sikri. We also visit he Pink City of Jaipur, capital of Rajasthan, which is one of the most attractive and colourful cities in India.For pre-trip extensions, you will end your Golden Triangle journey on the first "arrival" day of your main trip, travelling to Delhi from Agra to join your main trip group on the evening of day 1.For post-trip extension, you will start your Golden Triangle journey from the final "departure" day of your main trip, travelling to Jaipur after breakfast at the Delhi hotel. Please note, the post-trip extension is not available if you are booked on the Darjeeling, Sikkim & the Singalila Ridge (TBS) trip.

Highlights

  • The Palace of the Winds, the City Palace and the Amber Palace in Jaipur
  • Fatehpur Sikri, a magnificent abandoned Moghul city
  • The Taj Mahal's shining white marble walls, inlaid with semi‐precious stones
  • The Red Fort of Akbar, whose walls enclose a white marble Pearl Mosque, palaces and courtyard

Included in Price

  • All breakfasts are included in this trip. Other meals are not. India is famous for its food and there is ample opportunity to try various curries, including the familiar tandoori, biriyani and rogan josh. If you are a vegetarian, India is a great destination. There are wonderful desserts and excellent beers, soft drinks and Indian specialities such as lassi, a refreshing yoghurt drink. You should allow at least 1,400-2,400 Indian rupees (US$20-US$35) per day for lunch and dinner. You can eat out very cheaply in India, but if you go to the more expensive restaurants, most of the time, you will spend more than the suggested amount. In most towns we visit, there is a good selection of restaurants and a choice between Indian and Western food. Please note, service in restaurants can be quite slow. Tea and soft drinks are very cheap. A (large!) bottle of beer is approximately 285 rupees (approximately US$4). Mineral water is widely available, but drinking water is provided in a large container in the bus to reduce our use of plastic, so please bring your own refillable water bottle.
