"Booked the 6-day Golden Triangle as our first trip to India. Own fleet really does matter, our driver was with us all six days."

Rebecca T. · Melbourne, Australia
Tripadvisor · Jan 2026
★★★★★

"Added the Ranthambore extension almost as an afterthought, turned out to be the best decision of the trip. Our jeep safari guide spotted a tigress within twenty minutes and knew exactly where to position us for photos."

"Udaipur was the highlight none of us expected. The Lake Palace boat ride at sunset alone was worth the extra two days on the Rajasthan extension."

Questions we get daily

Your Golden Triangle questions, answered

What's the best time of year to do the Golden Triangle?

October to March is the sweet spot, cool days, clear skies, and perfect sunrise light at the Taj. April and September are shoulder season: still comfortable, fewer crowds, better hotel rates. We advise against May to July unless you're heat-tolerant.

Is India safe for solo or first-time travellers?

Yes, for the Golden Triangle, with a private operator, it's among the safest ways to travel in India. Every one of our drivers and guides is our own staff, not a subcontractor. Over half our solo travellers are women.

What's included in the price?

Accommodation at your chosen hotel tier, private AC vehicle and driver for the whole trip, English-speaking private guide in every city, monument entry fees, all airport and inter-city transfers, daily breakfast, and 24x7 phone/WhatsApp support. Airfare, visa fees, travel insurance, and personal expenses are not included.

How far ahead should I book?

For travel in peak season (October to March), we recommend booking 3 to 4 months out, the best heritage hotels sell out first. For shoulder season, 6 to 8 weeks is usually enough. We've arranged full trips in 5 days when needed.

Do you help with the India visa / e-Visa?

Yes. All US, UK, Canadian, Australian and New Zealand passport holders are eligible for the India e-Visa. We send a step-by-step guide with your booking confirmation, it's included in your trip.

Can we skip shopping stops?

Yes. Tell us you do not want shopping stops when we plan your itinerary. We can leave them out on request.

Will our driver also be our guide?

Your private driver handles the road travel. The tour also includes an English-speaking private guide in each city, so you have someone to explain the places you visit.

Can we change the route or travel at a slower pace?

Yes. Tell us your preferred pace, hotel style and places you want to see. We can prepare a customised itinerary and quote before you reserve.

Is the Taj Mahal open every day?

No. The Taj Mahal is closed to general visitors on Fridays. If your dates include a Friday, ask us to plan your Agra visit for another day.

What if I am arriving alone or travelling solo?

Share your arrival details and any concerns when you enquire. The tour includes airport arrival transfers, a private vehicle and driver, local guides and 24x7 assistance from the Delhi operations team.

Are monument tickets, meals and tips included?

Monument entry fees listed in your itinerary and daily hotel breakfast are included. Airfare, visa fees, travel insurance and personal expenses are not included. Check your itemized quote for the exact inclusions of your trip.

What happens if our plans change?

Cancel at least 24 hours before your tour starts for a full refund of payments made for the tour. Please contact the team as soon as your plans change.

Can you add Ranthambore, Varanasi or more of Rajasthan?

Yes. The journey options on this page include Ranthambore, Varanasi, Jodhpur and Udaipur. Tell us what you want to include and we will prepare a customised itinerary and quote.

Tell us your dates. We will help plan the rest.
