The Brief
Visiting the India Gate from London, UK is a single managed mission with MyTripMyTravel. Flight: ~8.5–9 hrs (non-stop) to Delhi. Gateway: Delhi (DEL). On-ground in Delhi: escorted access to the India Gate, pre-arranged at the prime viewing hour, with a vetted guide and the chauffeured Elite Fleet from arrival.
The All-India War Memorial India Gate is a 42-metre triumphal arch in central New Delhi, India, designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens and built between 1921 and 1931 as the All-India War Memorial. The arch is inscribed with the names of 13,300 Indian and British soldiers killed in the First World War and the Third Anglo-Afghan War.
From London, the routing is the first decision: Delhi (DEL) is the gateway. From London, the chauffeured leg to Delhi runs on the Elite Fleet — Delhi → Agra via the Yamuna Expressway (3h), Delhi → Jaipur via NH-48 (5h).
London is a manageable European-shift crossing — we recommend a single arrival-day recovery night before the first major site, with a light evening only. On the ground, the India Gate is sequenced for the prime viewing window — entry: free — rather than dropped into a generic city sightseeing block.
Beyond the India Gate, Delhi sits inside the wider Golden Triangle; we plan the trip end to end on a single chauffeured architecture.
