India: Golden Triangle Tour & Ranthambore

A journey that takes you from the hush of the Taj Mahal at first light to the tension of a jeep idling on a Ranthambore track, waiting for a tiger to cross. 

This eight-night journey traces India's most celebrated route with one memorable detour. You'll begin in Delhi, weaving through the chaos and colour of the old city before the calm of Mughal Agra and a sunrise view of the Taj Mahal. From there, the road turns toward Ranthambore, where two game drives offer the chance to spot tiger, sloth bear and leopard in a landscape of ruined forts and dry teak forest. Jaipur brings the trip full circle with pink sandstone palaces and bustling bazaars, before a final night back in Delhi. It's a route built for those who want India's grandest sights without giving up the thrill of the wild.

Why You’ll Love This Trip! 
You'll love how this trip refuses to sit still, moving from the crush and colour of Old Delhi to a sunrise view of the Taj Mahal that most visitors sleep through. It then takes you straight into the hush of a jeep waiting for a tiger to appear. There's something rather thrilling about swapping marble palaces for dry teak forest in the space of a single day, then swapping it back again for the pink sandstone of Jaipur. You'll sleep in a 225-year-old hotel, wander markets stacked with textiles and bangles and eat sweets from a bazaar stall that's probably been there longer than either of you. For two people who want India's grandest sights without missing its wilder side, this route gets the balance just right.
