Golden Triangle

Travelling the Golden Triangle in August from Zurich, Switzerland combines the regional season's character with the Zurich arrival window. August is the monsoon on the Golden Triangle — dramatic skies, emerald gardens, and the lowest visitor numbers of the year. Rain is intermittent rather than constant, and the Taj Mahal against monsoon cloud is exceptional. MyTripMyTravel runs August as a quiet, private, weather-flexible circuit. Flight context: ~8 hrs (non-stop) to Delhi. Direct service into Delhi; a smooth, short-haul-feel origin for the circuit.
