Golden Triangle
Overview
Itinerary
Fly to India's capital, Delhi. Depending on your time of arrival the rest of the day is yours to start soaking up the local culture. Meet the group tonight for dinner and start getting to know your fellow travellers.
Today explore this vivacious city! Starting in Old Delhi, embark on a rickshaw ride through the atmospheric streets. You'll drive straight into the narrow, fragrant lanes of Khari Baoli Spice Market to marvel at the array of colourful herbs and spices. Next, stop to visit the immense Jama Masjid, a Mughal masterpiece of a mosque. Cross over into New Delhi to admire the colonial grandeur of India Gate before seeing the UNESCO-listed Qutab Minar, a 73-metre, 12th - century minaret.
Journey to Agra where on arrival you will tour the magnificent Agra Fort. This mass of red sandstone sits on the bank of the Yamuna River, and from its ramparts catch a first glimpse of the magical Taj Mahal, just two kilometres downstream.
Tonight enjoy the musical drama show, Mohabbat the Taj.
Begin the day exploring the iconic Taj Mahal, admiring its stunning white marble architecture and uncover the timeless love story behind the world-famous monument. Then travel to Ranthambore National Park, home of the majestic Bengal tigers!
Explore Ranthambore National Park in search of tigers, taking early morning and afternoon safaris. There are around 50 tigers living amongst the park's undulating landscapes, as well as leopards, nilgai, sloth bears, wild boar, hyena and over 300 species of bird.
Bid farewell to Ranthambore and the tigers that call it home and travel by road across the exuberant state of Rajasthan to its capital, the 'Pink City' of Jaipur.
On arrival, take apart in a turban tying experience before spending the rest of the day at leisure, the perfect opportunity to begin exploring.
The day begins with a photo stop at the extraordinary Hawa Mahal, 'Palace of the Winds'. Built in pink-painted sandstone, it was built to allow the ladies of the royal household to watch life on the streets below. Next, travel out of the city and hop in a jeep to reach the magnificent Amber Fort, a colossal 16th-century yellow and pink sandstone fort just outside Jaipur.
Back in the city, explore the lavish maharaja's palace and the fascinating instruments of Jantar Mantar. Heading deep into the backstreets of the old town, try your hand at traditional artistries at a block printing and carpet weaving workshop.
Leaving the Pink City, we return by road to Delhi. On arrival, the rest of the day is free to spend as you wish.
This evening, the group will sit down together for the last time at a farewell dinner - the perfect time to reflect on recent adventures.
Fly to Australia, arriving home the same or following day.
