The Golden Triangle—Delhi, Agra, and Jaipur—is one of the most requested itineraries of the India tour package. And practically speaking, your answer to "Where do I start from in India?" Three cities, completely different from each other, yet close enough to cover in one trip—and unique enough to enjoy individually.
Our Golden Triangle with Varanasi Tour is an 8-day private tour that goes one step ahead by adding Varanasi as a last stop—a destination people usually don’t plan for but end up talking about most. The itinerary will start from the classic route of Delhi-Agra-Jaipur, showcasing the culture, architecture, and history of empires like the Rajputs and Mughals, before moving to Varanasi next, which will reflect the spiritual traditions of India. Our past clients have consistently ranked Varanasi as the most memorable part of the trip.
The itinerary is properly structured, keeping in mind the pace that a true traveler needs. Two nights in Delhi to actually settle in, one in Agra, two in Jaipur to slow down and explore the culture, and two in Varanasi in the end.

Best Time to Travel
October – March (10 – 25 degrees Celsius) is the perfect and most comfortable time to cover all four cities. But it also happens to be the peak tourist season, so hotels prices are comparatively higher.
April - June is hot. Temperature goes even go above 40 degree Celsius. Sightseeing is only recommended early morning and late evenings
July to September is monsoon season. Crowds are thin and prices are lower. Some travellers prefer it this way.
Dev Deepawali in Varanasi (usually November): If dates align with Dev Deepawali (Nov) in Varanasi, book boats 4–6 weeks ahead. All ghats get lit with over a million lamps in a single night.
