India's Golden Triangle extended into three cities that define a different side of the country, at the highest register. Twelve days across Delhi, Agra, Jaipur, Hyderabad, Ahmedabad, and Mumbai, staying at The Imperial, The Oberoi Amarvilas, Rambagh Palace, The Leela Hyderabad, House of MG in Ahmedabad, and The Taj Mahal Palace on Mumbai's waterfront. The journey is escorted end-to-end by a senior Farbound trip lead. Hyderabad adds Nizami palace culture alongside the biryani and tech layers. Ahmedabad brings Gandhi's ashram, the UNESCO old city, and one of India's most important contemporary design institutions. Mumbai closes with the colonial waterfront, Dharavi, and the city's bayside neighbourhoods.
