GOLDEN TRIANGLE

Welcome to Delhi, the vibrant capital of India, steeped in rich history! Upon your arrival, your tour guide will greet you at the airport and assist you with your transfer to the hotel. Depending on your arrival time and energy levels, your guide will tailor the rest of the day’s activities, which may include some sightseeing and a delightful welcome dinner to kick off your adventure.

Today, you have the option to join any of our City Tours or Slum Tours. We recommend starting the morning with a visit to Sanjay Colony, a vibrant community spanning 25 acres in the south of Delhi, near the Bahai Lotus Temple and Iskcon Temple. Here, you'll gain insights into the daily lives of residents and discover how, despite the challenges, the area is filled with positive energy and a strong sense of community. You'll also learn about the NGO programs that your visit supports. In the afternoon, you can indulge in more traditional sightseeing, choosing from iconic landmarks such as India Gate, Qutub Minar, Humayun’s Tomb, Agrasen ki Baoli (a historic stepwell), and Gurudwara Bangla Sahib, a Sikh temple renowned for its vast community kitchen that serves over 10,000 meals daily. If you still have the energy in the evening, consider exploring Old Delhi and joining our popular food tour for a taste of local culinary delights!

In the morning, we’ll depart Delhi by train and travel to Jaipur, arriving in the Pink City by early afternoon. Upon arrival, we’ll check in at our hotel before taking an orientation walk around Jaipur, famed for its charming pink terracotta buildings in the historic center. As the day progresses, we’ll visit Nahargarh Fort to enjoy a breathtaking sunset over the city, providing the perfect backdrop for your Jaipur experience.

Prepare for a full day of exploration in Jaipur! We’ll start the morning with a visit to the majestic Amber Fort, where you can soak in the breathtaking views. In the afternoon, we’ll delve deeper into the city, visiting iconic sites like Hawa Mahal, the City Palace, and Jantar Mantar. If you’re interested in some shopping, we can also explore Bapu Bazaar. For those looking for a unique experience, there’s the option to catch a Bollywood film at the renowned Raj Mandir cinema.

In the morning, we’ll set off for Agra by train, renowned for the breathtaking Taj Mahal and the impressive Agra Fort. If you choose to travel by car instead, there is the option to stop at Abhaneri Chand Baori, one of the largest stepwells in the world, where you can descend numerous steps to reach the water level. Upon our arrival in Agra in the afternoon, we’ll check into a charming family-run guest house.

Our exploration continues with a tour of the grand Agra Fort, constructed from stunning red sandstone. In the afternoon, we'll also visit Sheroes Hangout, a café run by female acid attack survivors. Acid attacks remain a serious issue in India, but this empowering initiative provides survivors with the confidence to step back into public life and reclaim their identities. In the evening, we’ll return to the guest house for dinner. If you’re up for it, enjoy a drink on the rooftop, where you can soak in the beautiful views of the Taj Mahal!

An early start allows us to witness the Taj Mahal bathed in the soft glow of sunrise, a truly magical experience. After soaking in the breathtaking views, we’ll return to our guesthouse for a leisurely late breakfast. Once we’ve checked out, it’s time to head back to Delhi.
