What's Not Included

Accommodation

7 nights of accommodation are included on this trip. 6 nights will be in twin share hotels and 1 night in a comfortable tented camp.

Meals

Meals aren’t included, to allow you maximum flexibility to eat where and when you like. You’ll have plenty of opportunities to experience the vast array of wonderful food that is available, and your local guide is always on hand to make recommendations for the group.

Fly into Delhi where you'll be whisked through the bustling city streets by a driver from Women with Wheels - a ground-breaking programme providing livelihoods for women. You'll meet your guide and the rest of your group later today, so get ready to get excited together!

See a side of the city that most tourists don't, with a guide to the backstreets with a youth-led community project, City Walk. You'll be blown away by the vibrant colours, pungent smells, and constantly beeping horns! Later, pay a visit to Jama Masjid, the capital's largest mosque - its vast courtyard can hold up to 25,000 worshippers! Then travel on to Agra.

There's only one way to start your day in Agra - with sunrise over the Taj Mahal. Marvel at this World Wonder, before heading to the I'timad-ud-Daulah (Baby Taj) mausoleum. Our last stop today is the imposing Red Fort -it's an amazing place to round off an amazing day.

Leave Agra behind and head to Fatehpur Sikri - the atmospheric Mughal ghost city. Next up is Abhaneri Stepwell, before our final stop for the day in Dhula Village. Play cricket with the locals, meet the local shepherds, and share tea in the temple. Then spend the evening round the campfire before snuggling down in our cosy glamping tents.

Our destination today is the pink city of Jaipur. We'll take a bike and rickshaw tour through the bustling streets before visiting the lace-like Palace of the Winds - it's an absolute must-see on any visit to Jaipur. This evening, enjoy some dinner with your travel family.

We've got more incredible sights on the menu today with a visit to the Amber Fort, and the City Palace, in the heart of the Old City. We've got tons of optional activities on offer as well, from a Jaipur cooking class with a local family, to a Bollywood experience at Raj Mandir cinema.

Start your day with an unforgettable sunrise balloon ride over the city (optional - prebooking essential) before exploring more of Jaipur at your own pace - pick up some last-minute souvenirs, grab a thali plate with the locals, or just sip a lassi and watch the world go by. This afternoon we'll head back to Delhi.

Your amazing adventure in the Golden Triangle has come to an end. Pack your bags and head for the airport. See you next time!
