Rajasthan & the Golden Triangle, India

1 itinerary · 0 open departures · 0 missions

Rajasthan and the Golden Triangle is one of India's most iconic travel circuits, linking the capital Delhi, the Taj Mahal city of Agra, and the Pink City of Jaipur, before sweeping through Rajasthan's royal heartland. The region is famed for its magnificent Mughal and Rajput architecture — from Agra Fort and Fatehpur Sikri to Jaipur's Amber Fort and the blue-hued lanes of Jodhpur. Rajasthan's Thar Desert draws travellers for camel safaris and nights under the stars near Jaisalmer, while Udaipur's lake palaces and Ranthambore's tiger reserve add further depth to the route. It's a classic combination for first-time visitors to India and seasoned travellers alike, offering history, culture, wildlife, and desert landscapes in one sweeping journey.

Rajasthan & the Taj Mahal: Self-Launched Golden Triangle Loop

A self-launched version of the classic 15-day Delhi–Agra–Rajasthan circuit, swapping the private car-and-driver tour for trains, sleeper buses and local autos, and the 3* tour hotels for well-reviewed guesthouses and havelis in the same neighbourhoods. You'll cover Delhi's Mughal monuments and Chandni Chowk bazaars, sunrise at the Taj Mahal, Fatehpur Sikri, Jaipur's Amber Fort, the painted havelis of Mandawa, Junagarh Fort in Bikaner, a night in the Thar dunes near Jaisalmer, Mehrangarh in Jodhpur, the Jain temples at Ranakpur, and Udaipur's lakes plus day trips to Chittorgarh and Dungarpur. Everything is bookable yourself: Indian Railways and IRCTC, state roadways and private sleeper buses, cheap e-rickshaws, and GetYourGuide/Klook guides or licensed guides hired at the gate for the days you want context. Costs are approximate backpacker/mid-range rates in GBP and exclude international flights.

Missions

Nobody's posted a Mission for Rajasthan & the Golden Triangle, India yet — which, frankly, is an opportunity.

Wait, what's a Mission?It's not a scheduled trip with dates and a minimum group size like a Departure — it's a goal. Learn to dive, do a Muay Thai camp, live somewhere for a month and work on something, chase one very specific experience. Post it, and other people chasing the same thing find you.

Be the first to post one: "Find the most locally-hated tourist trap and go anyway, unironically, in a costume."
