Golden Triangle with Kathmandu — 10-Day India and Nepal Tour
From the grandeur of Mughal monuments to the spiritual heart of the Himalayas, this journey spans two countries in ten unforgettable days.
This Golden Triangle with Kathmandu tour is a carefully structured 10-day itinerary designed for first-time visitors to the Indian subcontinent, pairing the three iconic Indian cities of Delhi, Jaipur, and Agra with a cultural extension to the Nepali capital, Kathmandu.
Delhi offers a layered encounter with both Mughal and British colonial heritage, from the commanding Red Fort and the Jama Masjid mosque to the ceremonial boulevards of New Delhi. Jaipur, India's first planned city, rewards visitors with its rosy sandstone façades, royal palaces, and an astronomical observatory that still astonishes engineers today.
Agra draws travellers across continents for a single monument: the Taj Mahal, built by Emperor Shah Jahan as an eternal tribute to his queen. The journey then shifts to Nepal, where Kathmandu's ancient squares, Hindu temples, and Buddhist stupas create an atmosphere that stands entirely apart from anything encountered in India.
Tour Highlights
Explore Old and New Delhi, including the Jama Masjid, Qutub Minar, India Gate, and the Humayun's Tomb.
Discover Amber Fort in Jaipur, with its mirrored Sheesh Mahal, painted gateways, and landscaped inner gardens.
Stand before the Taj Mahal in Agra, the 17th-century white marble mausoleum recognised as one of the world's greatest architectural achievements.
Visit Jantar Mantar, the world's largest stone astronomical observatory, located in the heart of Jaipur.
Explore the Hindu Pashupatinath Temple and the Buddhist Boudhanath Stupa, two of Nepal's most revered sacred sites.
Walk through Durbar Square in Patan, a UNESCO World Heritage Site featuring Newar-style temples, monasteries, and royal courtyards.
Browse the celebrated bazaars of Jaipur, including Johari Bazaar for jewels and Bapu Bazaar for textiles and perfumes.
