Golden Triangle & VaranasiNorth India's classic Golden Triangle monuments, extended with a short flight to Varanasi for the Ganges ghats and evening Aarti — a popular pairing for first-time India visitors.
Varanasi is one of the most requested short extensions to the Golden Triangle, offering a very different, more spiritual register than Delhi, Agra and Jaipur's monuments.
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 Varanasi (approx. 2–2.5 hours, via a connection).
A pre-dawn boat ride along the ghats as the city wakes and the first bathers and prayers begin — widely considered the single best way to see Varanasi — followed by breakfast and a guided walk through the Old City's dense lanes of temples and shrines.
Morning at leisure in Varanasi 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.
Daily breakfast included. Lunches and dinners are at your own choice so you can explore local restaurants, with recommendations from your guide — let us know if you'd prefer these pre-arranged instead.
