The Golden Triangle is North India’s classic first route, connecting the many layers of Delhi, the Taj Mahal in Agra and Jaipur’s rose-coloured palaces. Roughly 250 kilometres separate each city, creating a natural circuit that feels wonderfully varied without demanding internal flights.
For a first visit, seven to ten days gives the journey room to breathe. You will encounter Mughal architecture, Rajput heritage, colonial avenues, living craft traditions and three distinctly different urban personalities.
Before travelling, check the latest visa requirements for your nationality through the official Government of India portal. Many visitors are eligible for an e-Tourist Visa, but processing times and conditions can change, so leave comfortable time before departure.
A balanced route usually gives Delhi two days, Agra one or two nights and Jaipur two or three days. This creates time for sunrise at the Taj Mahal, a rickshaw ride through Old Delhi, Amber Fort and a hands-on craft experience without turning the holiday into a checklist.
