Explore the majestic Taj Mahal, the pink city of Jaipur and one of the oldest cities in the world

A great introduction to India for first-time visitors is the famous Golden Triangle – a circuit which takes in the capital Delhi, the Taj Mahal, and the Pink City of Jaipur, taking you on a triangular-shaped journey. This classic trip shows off some of northern India’s best sites in a conveniently short space of time.

A popular add-on to this itinerary is a visit to the nearby Ranthambore National Park, famous for its tiger sightings, ancient ruins and stunning scenery. There’s plenty of other wildlife to be seen here too, such as leopards and blue deer. There are numerous luxurious lodges in which to stay on the edge of the park as a base for your tiger safaris.

We also recommend you make time to stay at the Ramathra Fort, for a royal experience out in the countryside.
