      Golden Triangle with Kerala Supersaver — 11-Day India Tour

      From the Mughal grandeur of Delhi and Agra to the lush backwaters of Kerala, a complete introduction to India's living history and natural wonder.

      The Golden Triangle with Kerala tour combines three of India's most storied cities with an immersive extension into the tropical landscapes of the country's southwestern coast. Delhi, Jaipur, and Agra anchor the first half of the journey, each a layered canvas of Mughal, Rajput, and colonial-era heritage. The Kerala extension then introduces an entirely different India, defined by wildlife sanctuaries, spice plantations, and serene backwater canals.

      This 11-day itinerary is designed for first-time visitors to the subcontinent, paced gently so that each destination receives the attention it deserves. A professional tour manager accompanies the group from Delhi, offering context and logistics support throughout the core circuit before guests continue independently to Kerala.

      Kerala adds a naturalist dimension to the journey. Periyar Wildlife Sanctuary, the bird-rich shores of Lake Vembanad at Kumarakom, and the colonial port city of Kochi each reveal a side of India rarely captured in a standard highlights tour. Traditional performing arts, including Kalaripayattu martial art demonstrations and Kathakali dance, give the region's cultural life a vivid presence on the itinerary.

      Tour Highlights

      Explore Old and New Delhi, from the Jama Masjid and Qutab Minar to the broad colonial boulevards of Lutyens' Delhi and Humayun's Tomb.

      Visit Amber Fort in Jaipur and discover the mirror-encrusted Sheesh Mahal, the ornate Ganesh Pol gate, and the hilltop views over the surrounding lake.

      Stand before the Taj Mahal in Agra, the 17th-century mausoleum commissioned by Shah Jahan and built by 20,000 craftsmen from across the world.

      Walk the forest trails of Periyar Wildlife Sanctuary with a naturalist guide and visit a fragrant spice plantation producing cardamom, cinnamon, and pepper.

      Arrive at Kumarakom on Lake Vembanad, where backwater canals wind through the landscape and the local bird sanctuary shelters cuckoos and Siberian storks.

      Tour historic Fort Kochi, taking in the Dutch Mattancherry Palace, Paradesi Synagogue, St Francis Church, Santa Cruz Basilica, and the iconic Chinese fishing nets.

      Experience two classical performance traditions unique to Kerala: a Kalaripayattu martial art display in Thekkady and a Kathakali dance performance in Kochi.
