Golden Triangle & Kerala

11 days / 10 nights Price on Request Combo

Overview

A 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.

Why This Journey

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.

Highlights

  • The Taj Mahal at sunrise
  • Jaipur's forts and palaces
  • A domestic flight linking North and South India
  • Tea estates in Munnar
  • A houseboat night on the Kerala backwaters

Day by Day

  • Day 1

    Arrive Delhi

    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.

  • Day 2

    Delhi Sightseeing

    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.

    Onward to Agra

    Drive from Delhi to Agra (approx. 3.5–4 hours).

  • Day 4

    Onward to Jaipur

    Drive from Agra to Jaipur (approx. 4.5–5 hours).

  • Day 6

    Onward to Kochi

    Fly from Jaipur to Kochi (approx. 3 hours, via a connection).

    Drive from Munnar to Alappuzha (approx. 4.5–5 hours).
