Golden Triangle & Rajasthan - Classic Tour
An 11-day private journey that begins with India's Golden Triangle and then expands into Rajasthan. Delhi opens the route through Old and New Delhi contrasts. Agra anchors with the Taj Mahal and Agra Fort, supported by an evening cultural experience that explains the monument's story and symbolism. Jaipur follows with forts, stepwells, and craft neighbourhoods kept practical rather than performative. The pace then slows in Udaipur, where days stay close to Lake Pichola and the old city. Jodhpur closes Rajasthan through Mehrangarh Fort and the blue residential quarters below it, before a return to Delhi. Some drives are long, so arrival days stay light and heavier visits are spaced out. October to April offers the most comfortable conditions.
