GOLDEN TRIANGLE HOLIDAYS DELHI / AGRA / JAIPUR 1 / 2 How Many Days Do You Need for India’s Golden Triangle? A first-trip guide to choosing the right pace for Delhi, Agra and Jaipur Cover image courtesy of Golden Triangle Holidays. Allow six days for a first trip through Delhi, Agra and Jaipur if you want time in all three cities and need to return to Delhi. Five days suit a shorter visit when your flights leave enough sightseeing time. Seven days give you somewhere to put the stop or slower morning you would otherwise lose. Start with your flight times Write down when you land and when you need to be at the airport again. A late Delhi arrival and an early departure leave less time than the calendar suggests. If your return flight leaves Delhi early, consider spending the last night there instead of driving from Jaipur on departure day. Five days · Keep your priorities clear Choose a few Delhi sights, spend a night in Agra and give Jaipur a full sightseeing day if your onward journey allows it. If you need to return to Delhi, put that transfer into the plan before deciding whether to add a stop between Agra and Jaipur. GOLDEN TRIANGLE HOLIDAYS DELHI / AGRA / JAIPUR 2 / 2 Six days · A balanced first visit One workable plan is two nights in Delhi, one in Agra and two in Jaipur. Keep the arrival day light, give Delhi the next day and visit Agra Fort after the transfer if time allows. See the Taj Mahal before continuing to Jaipur, then set aside the following day for Amber Fort and the old city. Use the final day for your onward journey. If the Taj Mahal falls on a Friday, move the Agra visit or change the route order. Confirm current opening arrangements in the official Taj Mahal visitor information. For a day-by-day plan returning to Delhi, see the six-day Golden Triangle itinerary. Seven days · Add time where it helps A second night in Agra gives you more room around your Taj Mahal visit. An extra night in Jaipur gives you time to split Amber Fort and the old city across two days. If you are more concerned about an early flight, use the night in Delhi instead. Compare packages using the same route Before choosing among Golden Triangle tour packages, check how each trip handles hotels, local guides, monument tickets, transport and the final airport transfer. Compare quotes using the same arrival time, departure city and group size. If you want a route tailored to your flights, send Golden Triangle Holidays your dates and the visits you most want to keep. Ask which day involves the longest transfer and which stop you could drop if that day runs late. Published by Golden Triangle Holidays, a travel operator. The routes above are planning suggestions.
