Detailed itinerary
What you'll see and do
This is a customisable trip
Use the following itinerary for inspiration. Remember: all days, hotels and activities can be altered to suit your requirements. A Yonder Travel travel specialist will be happy to advise.
Day 1 –3
Explore Old Delhi
Delhi
The first stop on your Indian trip will be capital city Delhi. Here, your guide will introduce you to the sights of this grand city, starting with the World Heritage site of Humayun’s Tomb, built in 1570 as the Indian subcontinent's first garden-tomb and pre-cursor to the Taj Mahal.
You can also visit Gandhi’s eternal flame and the imposing India Gate, a memorial to 82,000 soldiers who died during World War One.
Make sure to explore the narrow streets of Old Delhi, founded in 1639 by the Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan, who moved the Mughal capital here from Agra. Try street food, marvel at the architecture and absorb your surroundings – it’s crowded and chaotic, but this is the real India.
Featured Accommodation
Day 4 –5
Take the train and marvel at the Taj Mahal
Agra
An early morning start will see you take the train from Delhi to Agra. Your comfortable first-class carriage will allow you to take in all the sights and sounds of the early morning Delhi commute, before transporting you into the India countryside for your three-hour trip.
On arrival into Agra, you'll get your first glimpse of the world-famous Taj Mahal. Spend a couple of days exploring this monument to love (Emperor Shah Jahan built it to house the tomb of his wife Mumtaz Mahal), as well as Agra Fort and Chandni Bazaar. If time allows, visit the ancient ruins of the sandstone city of Fatehpur Sikri.
Featured Accommodation
Day 6 –8
Get cultural in Jaipur
Jaipur
Known as the pink city, Jaipur is a Rajasthani royal city that offers spellbinding sights and sounds. Its palaces, observatories and merchant buildings are painted in hues of red and pink, but its crowning jewel is the spectacular Amer Fort which towers over the city on a hillside a short drive from the city. Spend a couple of days exploring Jaipur, including its rich arts and crafts scene, before flying back to Delhi to connect with your international flight.
Featured Accommodation
Day 9 –12
Relax on the beaches of Southern Goa
Goa
Fly from Jaipur to Goa where you'll be transferred to your luxurious resort on the Arabian Sea. Sunbathe, swim and relax after your Golden Triangle trip in carefree Goa.

Travelled to India with Yonder in June this year and had the most incredible time!
We wanted to see both the main tourist attractions in India, but also to see a more authentic side of India and Yonder made it happen, taking us to places we would have never considered without their suggestions.
From beginning to end, Yonder were great and made our trip to India so special. We can’t recommend them enough

Nico our thoroughly professional, knowledgeable and extremely personable travel expert discussed with us our desires for our trip as well as our likes and our dislikes, he was then able to organise an itinerary for us. Nico made suggestions to us that we would never have been aware of had we just attempted to plan the trip ourselves such as staying in the most luxurious and delightful ‘tent’ we have ever stayed in positioned beside a beautiful reservoir teeming with glorious wildlife.
Upon writing this we are due to go on our third holiday booked with Yonder, and we know that when we return we will be planning our fourth. We cannot recommend Yonder travel highly enough, they are without doubt an excellent company and embrace what seems like a lost philosophy of true care and attention!

From the time we first contacted them to when we arrived back from our holiday, Yonder delivered everything and more they promised. The trip they planned for us was perfect and confirmed their detailed knowledge of the country and places we visited. When a small hiccup occurred it only took a call to them for it to be sorted while we had dinner at one of the fantastic hotels they chose for us. They really did give the personal supported service throughout our trip that so many other firms just claim. We now have some fabulous memories to keep us going till we plan our next trip with them.

Used Yonder recently for a holiday for my girlfriend and I and I have nothing but positive feedback for them. The holiday was expertly planned and exceeded our expectations. Our accommodation was first rate and our personal driver was not just knowledgeable but a pleasure to travel with. We were thoroughly looked after at all hotels and the sights and experiences that were arranged for us were all first class. Keep up the good work guys.
