Golden Triangle Travel GuideGolden Triangle Travel GuideDelhi, Agra and Jaipur, connected by road in a rough triangle — hence the name. It's the most-travelled route in India for good reason: each city is genuinely distinct, and the distances between them are manageable by private car.
4 days is workable; 6 days is comfortable; 7–8 days allows an extension to Ranthambore, Varanasi or additional time in Jaipur.
Delhi to Agra: approximately 3.5–4 hours. Agra to Jaipur: approximately 5–5.5 hours, often broken up with a stop at Fatehpur Sikri.
Visit the Taj Mahal at sunrise both for the light and to avoid the largest crowds. Remember it is closed to visitors on Fridays. Old Delhi is best explored on foot or by cycle-rickshaw with a local guide rather than by car.
