Golden Triangle & Ranthambore

Overview

The classic Golden Triangle re-routed through Ranthambore National Park, so a tiger safari sits naturally between Agra and Jaipur rather than requiring a separate trip.

Why This Journey

Ranthambore is one of India's best-known tiger reserves and adds genuine wildlife time to a Golden Triangle trip without a long detour, since it sits almost directly on the Agra–Jaipur road.

Highlights

• Taj Mahal at sunrise
• Three safari drives in Ranthambore National Park with an experienced naturalist
• Amber Fort and central Jaipur
• A realistic, well-paced introduction to Indian wildlife safari
