Golden Triangle and the Himalayas Tour

Arrive at the Indira Gandhi International Airport (DEL), where you’ll meet a tour representative. Transfer to your hotel and enjoy the rest of the day at your leisure. Start daydreaming about the days ahead!

Enjoy a tasty breakfast at your hotel before embarking on a guided sightseeing tour. Expect to see a collection of monuments and attractions between New and Old Delhi, such as the Red Fort, Jama Masjid, Raj Ghat, India Gate, Humayun’s Tomb, Qutub Minar, and the famous shopping street, Chandni Chowk.

Today’s the day! The Taj Mahal is one of the major highlights of the Golden Triangle and India as a whole. To top it off, you’ll get to view it at sunset. Talk about romantic! You’ll also get to see another historic marvel today, Agra Fort. This day will be one for the books!

Pack your bags, enjoy breakfast, and begin your journey to the pink-hued city of Jaipur (it is known as the Pink City, after all). En route, you’ll stop at the abandoned Fatehpur Sikri. After admiring this historical attraction, you’ll hop back in the vehicle and continue your drive to the walled city of Jaipur.

Enjoy a relaxing night before another day of touring tomorrow.

Wake up and prepare for a day of exploring! Today you’ll explore a collection of buildings and monuments well-known in Jaipur, all of which have a fascinating history. Visit the Hawa Mahal (Palace of Winds), City Palace, Jantar Mantar, and Amber Fort, which sits 11km from Jaipur.

Enjoy breakfast before packing your bags and heading to the airport. You’ll fly to Chandigarh via Delhi. Chandigarh is a marvel of a modern city. In the 20th century, a French architect designed it, creating a stunning layout and an overall beautiful vibe. It’s tucked into the foothills of Shivaliks.

Upon arrival, you’ll check into your hotel before going on a half-day guided sightseeing tour. Expect to visit the shimmering human-made Sukhna Lake, Rock Garden, the Museum and Art Gallery, and more phenomenal sights.

After a delicious breakfast at your hotel, begin your road trip to the intimidating, magical Himalayas. Appreciate the fresh mountain air swirling around you! Eventually, you’ll reach Manali, your destination for the next couple of days. Admire the monasteries and ancient temples backed by soaring mountain views.

Discover this surreal hill station on your own. Spend the day however you desire!

Get ready to travel from one scenic hill station to another as you arrive in Dharamshala. This town is carved into the Dhauladhar range of the Himalayas, and the 14th Dalai Lama resides here. Dharamshala is known for Buddhism and Tibetan culture.

Eat a hearty breakfast before another full day of guided sightseeing. Today, you’ll get to view the array of sights dotting Dharamshala! Visit the residence of Dalai Lama (Tsuglagkhang Complex), the Tibetan Library, Norbulingka, St. John’s Church, and the tea garden and factory.

Eat breakfast before hopping in your vehicle and embarking on a 7-hour road trip to Shimla, the “Queen of Hill Stations.” This scenic town boasts deodar oak, pine, and rhododendron forests! It was also a popular summer getaway for the British, so expect some colonial influences.

Spend the day admiring the incredible views from Shimla on your own. You may enjoy visiting Mall Road, where lines of local bazaars await.

Have a relaxing morning before departing Shimla via a mountain train. You'll arrive at Kalka Railway, where you'll catch your train to Delhi. You'll reach Delhi later at night. Transfer to your hotel and rest your head, playing through the reel of memories from the last 13 days.

Enjoy a chilled-out morning before departing to the airport. Say your goodbyes, and off you go to your next destination!
