The Brief
Visiting the India Gate from San Francisco, USA is a single managed mission with MyTripMyTravel. Flight: ~15–17 hrs 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 San Francisco, the routing is the first decision: Delhi (DEL) is the gateway. From San Francisco, the chauffeured leg to Delhi runs on the Elite Fleet — Delhi → Agra via the Yamuna Expressway (3h), Delhi → Jaipur via NH-48 (5h).
San Francisco is a long crossing with a significant time shift. We build a firm first-night recovery into the architecture — orientation only, no marquee sites on arrival day. Sleep, light evening, breakfast at the stay, monuments from day two. 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.
