India

Experience the magic of India's Golden Triangle — Delhi, Agra, and Jaipur — plus a rural Rajasthani village stay, entirely on your own terms. This self-launched route follows the same iconic highlights as Gap360's group tour: sunrise at the Taj Mahal, the forts and palaces of Jaipur, Old Delhi's sensory overload, and a night glamping under the stars in Dhula Village. By booking accommodation, transport, and activities independently, you can recreate the full experience for a fraction of the price. All cost estimates are approximate and based on current budget traveller rates.

India's iconic Golden Triangle — Delhi, Jaipur, and Agra — is one of the world's great independent travel routes, and you absolutely don't need a private guided tour to do it justice. This self-launched version follows the same itinerary as Swastik India Journeys, swapping private car transfers for comfortable AC trains and buses, guided tours for self-bookable options via GetYourGuide or direct entry, and luxury hotels for well-reviewed budget guesthouses and heritage properties. The highlight stay at Pachewar Fort can still be experienced independently — the fort accepts direct bookings. Estimated cost is roughly £230 per person all-in, compared to ~£465 with the operator, saving you around £235 per person. All costs are approximate estimates.

Skip the guided group price tag and explore northern India's iconic Golden Triangle — Delhi, Agra and Jaipur — entirely on your own terms. This self-launched itinerary covers all the same headline experiences: a cycle rickshaw ride through Old Delhi's spice markets, a sunrise visit to the Taj Mahal, the grandeur of Agra Fort, the intricacy of Chand Baori stepwell, and a full day in Jaipur's pink city. You'll swap the private air-conditioned bus for trains and shared taxis, and the included-hotel markup for hand-picked budget guesthouses and heritage stays — saving hundreds of pounds while gaining the freedom to linger where you love. All costs are approximate estimates for one person travelling on a budget.
