Golden Triangle

Next, the journey moves to Agra for a glimpse of the Taj Mahal and Agra Fort. The Taj’s marble surfaces catch the light in different ways during the day, an ever-shifting play of shadow and reflection. Nearby Fatehpur Sikri, the former palace city, offers red sandstone courts and structures echoing the Mughal era’s ambitions. Afterward, Jaipur introduces the ‘Pink City’ with its rambling palaces and the ramparts of Amber Fort.

A stay in Dhula village closes the loop, offering a quieter counterpoint to the cities’ bustle. The included transport is by private vehicle, with local guides and a G Adventures Chief Experience Officer present throughout. There are no meals included, which means flexibility over where to eat and what to try, though Indian food’s variety rarely disappoints.
