Explore India’s highlights on a 5-day Golden Triangle tour including Delhi, Agra, Jaipur, and Chand Baori, with comfortable transport and authentic sights.
This 5-day journey through India’s most iconic destinations offers a blend of history, culture, and vibrant local flavors. With a focus on Delhi, Agra, Jaipur, and the remarkable Chand Baori stepwell, this tour promises an immersive experience, guided by knowledgeable locals and set against some of India’s most stunning backdrops. Whether you’re a first-time visitor or a seasoned traveler, this tour aims to offer a balanced mix of sightseeing, relaxation, and authentic taste—without breaking the bank.
What makes this experience stand out is the inclusion of Chand Baori, an extraordinary stepwell rarely on the usual tourist map, alongside the classic Golden Triangle sights. We especially appreciate how the tour balances comfort (via air-conditioned vehicles) with cultural depth. That said, a consideration to keep in mind is that the tour doesn’t include monument entry fees—so budget for those add-ons if you want to go inside the famous sites.

This ancient stepwell is celebrated for its geometric symmetry and historical significance—something few travelers get to see on typical Rajasthan tours.
Day 5: Return and Farewell
The tour concludes with a return to Delhi, providing a relaxed finish to your whirlwind adventure. The seamless transportation ensures you arrive back comfortably, ready to continue your travels or head home.

The inclusion of a guide is invaluable, especially in a country as complex as India. Guides like Ajay’s team are known to provide personalized commentary and help you avoid common pitfalls, such as confusing entry processes or tourist traps. Though tips for guides and drivers aren’t included, the personalized attention often means better value, and many travelers appreciate their guides’ local knowledge and friendly demeanor.
