India's mythical Golden Triangle tour circuit of Jaipur, Agra, and Delhi is transformed into an over-the-top oasis when combined with carefully selected luxury hotels that are famous for their royal service, historical atmosphere, and world-class hospitality. Chetram Holidays' carefully planned 7-day Luxury Golden Triangle Tour promises not only a visit to India's most famous monuments, but a life of royalty, gourmet cuisine in stunning settings, and relaxing in maharaja bed-turned-boudoirs.
Stay at legendary names such as The Imperial in Delhi, The Oberoi Amarvilas in Agra, and The Rambagh Palace in Jaipur, and make every moment as grand as the monuments you’ll visit.
Arrival in Indira Gandhi International Airport and warm welcome by Chetram Holidays representative, who will escort one to the hotel—The Imperial, the Art Deco jewel that had hosted receptions to statesmen like Nehru and Mountbatten.
After check-in, unwind at the serene spa or sip a glass of champagne at the hotel's renowned 1911 bar. If time permits, drive past India Gate, Rashtrapati Bhavan, and Connaught Place in the evening.
Overnight at The Imperial, New Delhi
Following a royal breakfast, take a private guided tour of Delhi. Start in Old Delhi with a visit to Jama Masjid and a rickshaw ride through Chandni Chowk. Make a stop at Raj Ghat, the memorial of Mahatma Gandhi.
Later, visit New Delhi: pass by President's House, India Gate and stop at Humayun's Tomb and Qutub Minar, two World Heritage Sites. Complete the day with a peaceful visit to the Lotus Temple or treat yourself to high tea at The Imperial.
Overnight at The Imperial, New Delhi
After breakfast, drive south in your luxury vehicle to Agra (about 3.5 hours). Check-in at The Oberoi Amarvilas whose rooms all have the vista of the Taj Mahal.
Spend the afternoon according to your own desire—why not indulge yourself with a couple's massage or simply unwind sipping tea while sitting on your balcony overlooking the Taj with an unobstructed view.
Evening: See the Mehtab Bagh on the other side of the Yamuna for sun set view of the Taj Mahal. In the evening, drive back to your hotel for a candlelight dinner amidst the stars.
Night at The Oberoi Amarvilas, Agra
Early morning sun rise visit to the Taj Mahal, when the white marble glows with pink-golden light—a memory in itself. Return to breakfast at the hotel, then see Agra Fort, the breathtaking Mughal fortress. En route to Jaipur, visit Fatehpur Sikri, a deserted Mughal city and UNESCO World Heritage site.
Arrive in Jaipur in the evening and stay overnight at the imposing Rambagh Palace, home of the Maharaja of Jaipur. Your own butler will escort you to your room—a former royal bedroom.
Overnight at Rambagh Palace, Jaipur
Break breakfast in palace gardens and see Amber Fort, riding up in royal jeep fashion. Tour mirrored rooms, Mughal courtyards, and Aravalli hill vistas.
Later, tour the City Palace, the royal family's residence, and see the Jantar Mantar, a medieval astronomical observatory. Stop for photo at the Hawa Mahal.
Evening: Enjoy an optional private dinner with folk dancers in a restored haveli or eat at Suvarna Mahal, Rambagh's restaurant with gold leaf.
Overnight at Rambagh Palace, Jaipur
Breakfast at the hotel. Shop Jaipur's world-famous bazaars—ideal for luxury shopping for textiles, blue pottery, or gems.
