Golden Triangle & KeralaA two-region combination pairing North India's classic Golden Triangle monuments with South India's Kerala backwaters and hills, for travellers who want both sides of the country in a single trip.
First-time visitors often want to see both North India's iconic monuments and South India's very different landscape and pace; this combines them into one coherently paced trip rather than two separate bookings.
Private airport pickup and transfer to your hotel. Depending on your arrival time, the rest of the day is free to rest, or we can arrange a gentle evening orientation drive past India Gate and the illuminated government buildings of Lutyens' Delhi.
A full day split between the two Delhis: Old Delhi's Jama Masjid, a walk or cycle-rickshaw ride through the lanes of Chandni Chowk, and the exterior of the Red Fort, followed by an afternoon covering Humayun's Tomb, India Gate and a photo stop at Qutub Minar.
Drive from Delhi to Agra (approx. 3.5–4 hours).
Drive from Agra to Jaipur (approx. 4.5–5 hours).
A full day of Jaipur's headline sights: Amber Fort in the morning light, then the City Palace, the Jantar Mantar observatory and a photo stop at Hawa Mahal.
Fly from Jaipur to Kochi (approx. 3 hours, via a connection).
Drive from Kochi to Munnar (approx. 4–4.5 hours).
A visit to a working tea estate and factory to see processing up close, followed by time at Mattupetty Dam or, season permitting, a short walk toward Eravikulam National Park, home to the endangered Nilgiri tahr.
Drive from Munnar to Alappuzha (approx. 4.5–5 hours).
A slower second day on or around the backwaters, either extending the houseboat cruise or transferring to a canal-side resort for canoe trips through the narrower waterways that houseboats can't reach.
Morning at leisure in Alappuzha before a private transfer to the airport for your onward flight.
Well-located hotels in each city, twin-sharing with breakfast included; a 5-star or heritage-property upgrade is available on request.
Private air-conditioned vehicle and driver for the full itinerary, plus any internal flights specifically listed in the day-by-day plan; airport transfers included.
