Golden Triangle tours from Delhi: the route
Golden Triangle tours from Delhi follow a loop between three cities: Delhi, Agra with the Taj Mahal, and Jaipur in Rajasthan. Delhi Tourism lists "Agra to Jaipur (Golden Triangle)" as an excursion route from Delhi. A delhi triangle tour is therefore a tour that starts and ends in Delhi, and the choice you make is mainly the number of days. The tours on this page run for 3, 4 or 7 days with a private vehicle and a local guide.
Other names for the same idea are a New Delhi, Agra and Jaipur tour, or golden triangle tour packages from Delhi. Whatever the name, read what the package includes. Entry tickets are paid on top, and lunch and dinner are not included.
Our picks: Golden Triangle tours
Our take: The three-day route is the compact choice and the four-day route gives more time between the cities. The seven-day combination tour adds Agra and Jaipur over a longer stretch, so check its validity when you book.

Golden triangle tour: route and planning from Delhi
What the three tours include.
The 3 day private tour includes a private air-conditioned vehicle for all transfers and sightseeing, guided sightseeing with local guides in each city, a battery shuttle to and from the Taj Mahal parking area, tolls and parking fees, government taxes and bottled water during car journeys. Hotel or airport pick-up is offered anywhere in Delhi, Noida or Gurugram. Two hotel nights and the daily breakfast apply only if you choose the tour with the hotel option. Entrance tickets, lunch, dinner and tips are not included.
The 4 day private tour works the same way: private vehicle, local guides, the shuttle at the Taj Mahal, taxes, bottled water and pick-up and drop-off at a hotel, the airport or a railway station. Three hotel nights and the daily breakfast belong to the hotel option. Entrance fees, lunch, dinner and tips are paid by you. The 7 day private tour lists hotel pick-up and drop-off, a local guide, bottled water and a private vehicle. It shows no start point in the listing, so confirm the start and the hotels with the operator before you pay; no hotels are promised on this page.
Planning the route and the days
What to settle before you book.
Pick a length
Three days make a tight loop, four and seven days leave more time in each city. No fixed driving time is given here, since it depends on traffic.
Keep Friday in mind
The Taj Mahal is closed on Fridays. Plan the Agra day around it. The Taj Mahal tour page has tickets and hours.
Winter fog
The UK foreign office warns about poor visibility in fog on the roads. In the cooler months allow for slower road days; the best time to visit Delhi page explains the seasons.
Entry on top
The listing says entrance tickets are paid separately. Budget for them on top of the tour price, and check the things to do in Delhi for the Delhi sights before you leave.
Jaipur on the Golden Triangle
The third city, briefly.
Jaipur is the Rajasthan stop of the loop. This page gives no distance for it, because published figures for the road from Delhi differ with the start and end points. The sights people usually look for in Jaipur are covered on separate sites: read about Amber Fort and Hawa Mahal for how to get there from the Delhi side.
Agra on the Golden Triangle
The Taj Mahal city, briefly.
Agra is the stop with the Taj Mahal and Agra Fort. If you only want to see Agra, the Delhi tours page lists day trips. For the Agra view of the Golden Triangle, read Agra Fort and the Golden Triangle from Agra.
