Visit the Taj Mahal at sunrise and discover northern India’s great cultural trio: Delhi, Agra and Jaipur
Complete northern India’s Golden Triangle – the great backpacker route linking Delhi, Agra and Jaipur. Whether you decide to go before or after your main adventure, this add-on tour is the perfect way to experience the best of Rajasthan. Of course, you visit the magnificent Taj Mahal (at sunrise to catch it in the perfect light) and explore the riveting cities of Delhi and Jaipur. But you also take time to see lesser-known highlights, including the 1,000-year-old Chand Baori stepwell, providing a rounded insight into the three great cities of the Golden Triangle.
During October/November, and from February to April, the days are normally warm or hot and nights cool or mild. Humidity is very low and little or no rain falls.
It gets very cold in the early mornings and evenings in December, January and into February and warm clothes are essential. During this time, nightly temperatures in Delhi can be only a little above freezing. Come prepared for both cold and hot temperatures during the winter period.
In July, August and September, expect hot (or very hot) days and warm nights. Rain is also possible at any time from the end of June until September and can be very heavy. However, it moderates the temperatures.

Itinerary: There is a lot to see in the time, but everything is scheduled so it doesn’t feel too rushed. The heat and bustle of some cities can be a little overwhelming; that said, there are places where you can find peace, and this is one of the few places in the world from where you will return with great stories and memories to last a lifetime.
Monuments: The Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) is responsible for the conservation of many monuments in India, including the Taj Mahal, and very occasionally this may mean that work is taking place at sites visited on this trip. The ASI’s schedule is never published so it is not possible to forewarn when work is taking place. The Taj Mahal is closed on Fridays. If necessary, we reverse the itinerary to first go to Agra and then to Jaipur.
Journeys: There is quite a bit of driving involved. The drive to Jaipur may take between four to five hours. Road journeys can sometimes take longer due to traffic, national or religious holidays, or road damage after the monsoon.
