About this tour
This two-day private tour covers the full Golden Triangle — Delhi, Agra, and Jaipur — at a brisk, well-organized pace. Day 1 begins with an early drive from Delhi to Agra for the Taj Mahal, Agra Fort, and the Baby Taj, with an optional stop at Fatehpur Sikri before continuing to Jaipur for the night.

Day 2 is spent in the Pink City of Jaipur — its hilltop forts, the Palace of Winds, the City Palace Museum, and the Jantar Mantar observatory. You then choose how to finish: stay in Jaipur, or continue back to Delhi the same evening. You travel by private air-conditioned car throughout, with a dedicated guide and a choice of 3-Star, 4-Star, or 5-Star accommodation in Jaipur — or a Without Hotel option if you prefer to arrange your own stay.

Itinerary
Tap any day to open its full route — 16 stops in total.
Day 1Agra & On to Jaipur8 stops
Pick up from anywhere in Delhi NCR
Pickup is available from any hotel, residence, or airport in Delhi, Noida, Greater Noida, Gurgaon (Gurugram), Ghaziabad, or Faridabad — including Delhi (IGI) Airport, Hindon Airport in Ghaziabad, and Noida International Airport in Jewar. The earliest pickup time is 2:30 AM, which allows you to reach the Taj Mahal for sunrise. Otherwise you may choose any pickup time from 3:00 AM to 10:00 AM. Your professional driver collects you in a private air-conditioned car for the drive to Agra.
Drive to Agra
Travel to Agra via the Yamuna Expressway — a comfortable drive of around 3.5 hours in a private air-conditioned car.
Visit the Taj Mahal
Begin in Agra with the Taj Mahal, built by Emperor Shah Jahan in 1632 in memory of his beloved wife Mumtaz Mahal. The white marble — inlaid with semi-precious stones — is one of the most breathtaking sights in the world. Your guide shares its history and helps you photograph it from every angle.
A note on Friday visits
The Taj Mahal interior is closed every Friday for prayer. If Day 1 of your tour falls on a Friday — a Friday start — the itinerary is reversed: Jaipur is visited on Day 1 and Agra on Day 2. Your itinerary is re-sequenced accordingly.
Visit Agra Fort — UNESCO World Heritage Site
Explore the majestic Agra Fort, a UNESCO World Heritage Site built by Emperor Akbar in 1573. Walk through its grand courtyards, palaces, and halls, and enjoy a view of the Taj Mahal from its ramparts.
Visit Baby Taj — Tomb of Itimad-ud-Daulah
Visit the exquisite Baby Taj, commissioned by Noor Jahan for her father Ghiyas Beg. Its delicate marble inlay work and Persian gardens are considered a jewel of Mughal architecture.
Lunch Break
Pause for lunch at a restaurant of your choice (optional add-on) before continuing towards Jaipur.
Fatehpur Sikri (Optional Visit)
Fatehpur Sikri is a beautiful UNESCO-listed Mughal city between Agra and Jaipur. It is offered as an optional add-on rather than a standard inclusion because the site requires a separate entry ticket, a shared shuttle bus from the parking lot, and a local government-approved guide — all of which add cost. It sits conveniently on the route to Jaipur; please request it at the time of booking. Fatehpur Sikri sits on the way, so adding it extends the day by around 1 hour — the visit itself is roughly 45 minutes.
Drive to Jaipur
Continue to Jaipur — around 4 hours by road, or longer if Fatehpur Sikri is added along the way. Arrive in the Pink City by evening.
Hotel Check-in
Check in to your hotel in Jaipur — in the 3-Star, 4-Star, or 5-Star tier you have selected — and spend the evening at leisure. (The Without Hotel option does not include accommodation.)
Day 2Jaipur & Back to Delhi8 stops
Hotel Breakfast & Check-out
Return to your hotel for breakfast and check out. (Breakfast is included with the 3-Star, 4-Star, and 5-Star options.) You will meet your guide before the first monument in Jaipur.
Jaigarh Fort
Visit Jaigarh Fort, the rugged hilltop fortress built by Sawai Jai Singh II, known for its commanding views over the Aravalli hills and Amber below, and for Jaivana — once the largest cannon on wheels in the world.
About Jaigarh Fort and Amber Fort
We take you to Jaigarh Fort, not Amber Fort. The reason is simple: Amber Fort is known for the elephant rides up the hill, and many travelers would rather not do them. Jaigarh Fort sits on the same hill and is just as grand. If you would prefer Amber Fort instead of Jaigarh, we are happy to swap it in for a little extra cost, and your car can drive right up to the top of Amber Fort, so there is no need to take an elephant ride. If you would like to see both forts, that can also be arranged for a little extra cost. Just let us know after you book and we will make the arrangements.
Hawa Mahal — Palace of Winds (Photo Stop)
Pause for photographs at the Hawa Mahal, the five-story “Palace of Winds” with its honeycomb façade of 953 small windows, built so royal women could watch the street below unseen.
Lunch Break
Pause for lunch at a restaurant of your choice (optional add-on) before the afternoon’s sightseeing.
City Palace Museum
Explore the City Palace Museum, the still-royal residence at the heart of Jaipur — a complex of courtyards, gardens, and museums blending Rajput and Mughal architecture.
Jal Mahal — The Water Palace
View the Jal Mahal, the “Water Palace” that appears to float on Man Sagar Lake. It is admired from the lakeside — entry to the palace itself is not permitted.
Visit Jantar Mantar — UNESCO World Heritage Site
Visit Jantar Mantar, the 18th-century astronomical observatory of Sawai Jai Singh II — a UNESCO World Heritage Site, home to the largest stone sundial in the world.
Elephant Village (Optional Experience)
A visit to an ethical elephant sanctuary near Jaipur, where elephants are cared for outside the tourist-ride economy. The visit includes feeding, bathing, and a short interaction. It can be added to the Jaipur day; please request it at the time of booking.
Drop off anywhere in Delhi or Jaipur
Once the Jaipur sightseeing is complete, you choose how to finish the tour: stay in Jaipur, or continue to Delhi in your private air-conditioned car. Drop-off is available at any hotel, residence, or airport in Jaipur, Delhi, Noida, Greater Noida, Gurgaon (Gurugram), Ghaziabad, or Faridabad — including Delhi (IGI) Airport, Hindon Airport in Ghaziabad, and Noida International Airport in Jewar. If you continue to Delhi, the journey takes approximately 5 hours, and a comfort break can be arranged on the way.

Show 13 more questions
What does the Without Hotel option include?
It covers the private air-conditioned car and dedicated guide for both days, without hotel accommodation — suitable if you prefer to arrange your own stay in Jaipur.
What happens if Day 1 falls on a Friday?
The Taj Mahal interior is closed on Fridays. If Day 1 falls on a Friday — a Friday start — the itinerary is reversed: Jaipur is visited on Day 1 and Agra on Day 2.
What monuments are visited on this tour?
In Agra: the Taj Mahal, Agra Fort, and the Baby Taj. In Jaipur: Jaigarh Fort, the Hawa Mahal, the City Palace Museum, the Jal Mahal, and Jantar Mantar. Fatehpur Sikri is available as an optional add-on between the two cities.
Why do you visit Jaigarh Fort rather than Amber Fort?
We take you to Jaigarh Fort instead. Amber Fort is known for the elephant rides up the hill, and many travelers prefer not to do them, so we feature Jaigarh Fort, which sits on the same hill. If you would rather visit Amber Fort, we are happy to swap it in for a little extra cost, and your car can drive right up to the top, so no elephant ride is needed. To see both forts, a little extra cost applies. Just tell us after booking.
Why is Fatehpur Sikri offered as an optional add-on?
Fatehpur Sikri is a beautiful UNESCO-listed Mughal city on the route between Agra and Jaipur. It is offered as an optional add-on rather than a standard inclusion because the site requires a separate entry ticket, a shared shuttle bus, and a local government-approved guide. It sits on the way, so adding it extends the day by around 1 hour. Please request it at the time of booking.
What is the Elephant Village?
The Elephant Village is an ethical elephant sanctuary near Jaipur where elephants are cared for outside the tourist-ride economy. A visit — including feeding, bathing, and a short interaction — can be added to the Jaipur day as an optional experience.
Are monument tickets included?
No — monument tickets are not included in the tour but you can buy them separately. If you book your tickets with us in advance, your guide has them ready on the day, so you will not need to stand in line to buy them.
Are meals included?
Breakfast is included with the 3-Star, 4-Star, and 5-Star options. Lunch and dinner are not included but are available as optional add-ons.
Is this tour quite rushed?
It is a compact two-day version of the Golden Triangle, with early starts and some long drives between cities. For a more relaxed pace, the 3-, 4-, and 5-day Golden Triangle tours cover the same cities over more days.
What pickup and drop-off locations are available?
Pickup is available from any hotel, residence, or airport in Delhi, Noida, Greater Noida, Gurgaon (Gurugram), Ghaziabad, or Faridabad — including Delhi (IGI) Airport, Hindon Airport in Ghaziabad, and Noida International Airport in Jewar.
