Day by day itinerary
Day 1. Delhi, Arrival & Bangla Sahib
Your chauffeur meets you at Delhi (DEL) and transfers you to your hotel to settle in.
In the evening you visit Gurudwara Bangla Sahib, the most prominent Sikh temple in Delhi, with its golden dome and vast holy pool, a gentle, welcoming introduction to the Sikh faith you'll encounter fully in Amritsar.
Day 2. Amritsar, Shatabdi Express & Golden Temple by Night
You board the Shatabdi Express from Delhi to Amritsar, a comfortable day-train across the Punjab plains with meals served at your seat.
After checking in, you make your first visit to the Golden Temple (Harmandir Sahib) after dark, when the gilded shrine glows against the black water of the sacred pool and the crowds are calmer, an unforgettable first sight.
Day 3. Amritsar, Golden Temple Sunrise & Wagah Border
You return to the Golden Temple at sunrise for the peaceful morning prayers, and visit the langar, the world's largest free community kitchen, feeding tens of thousands daily.
A short walk away is Jallianwala Bagh, the memorial garden marking the 1919 massacre, its walls still scarred by bullet holes, a sombre, essential piece of Indian history.
In the late afternoon you drive to the India to Pakistan frontier for the Wagah Border ceremony, a theatrical, foot-stamping flag-lowering drill roared on by patriotic crowds.
Day 4. Delhi, Return & New Delhi at Leisure
You travel back to Delhi by train (or a short flight), arriving in the afternoon.
The evening is at leisure in New Delhi, time to rest, shop the boutiques of Khan Market or Connaught Place, or take an optional drive past India Gate and the illuminated government buildings before the Golden Triangle leg begins.
Day 5. Agra, Agra Fort & Taj Sunset from Mehtab Bagh
A morning run down the Yamuna Expressway brings you to Agra, where you tour the red-sandstone Agra Fort, the Mughal seat of power and Shah Jahan's gilded final prison.
At sunset you cross to Mehtab Bagh, the riverside 'moonlight garden' directly opposite the Taj Mahal, for a serene, uncrowded view of the mausoleum glowing gold across the Yamuna.
Day 6. Agra, Taj Mahal & Drive to Jaipur
You enter the Taj Mahal in the morning light for a full, guided tour of the mausoleum, gardens and mosque before the day heats up.
You then drive to Jaipur via the UNESCO ghost-capital of Fatehpur Sikri and the astonishing Chand Baori stepwell at Abhaneri, arriving in the Pink City by evening.
Day 7. Jaipur, Amber Fort, City Palace & Hawa Mahal
A full day explores the Pink City: the honey-coloured Amber Fort above Maota Lake with its Sheesh Mahal mirror hall (jeep ascent included), and the City Palace, still home to Jaipur's royal family.
You photograph the five-storey Hawa Mahal facade and, if you wish, visit the Jantar Mantar observatory and browse the bazaars for textiles and gemstones.
Day 8. Jaipur, Markets, Nahargarh High Tea & Departure
Your final morning is for the markets, block-print textiles, blue pottery, lac bangles and gemstones, followed by a high tea at Nahargarh Fort, perched on the Aravalli ridge with sweeping views over the Pink City.
By evening your chauffeur drives you back to Delhi in time for your onward flight.

Frequently asked
Is 8 days enough to combine Amritsar with the Golden Triangle?
Yes, this itinerary gives two nights in Amritsar for the Golden Temple, Jallianwala Bagh and Wagah Border, then a full Golden Triangle across Agra and Jaipur. It's a well-paced week; if you'd like a slower version we can add a night in each city.
What should I know about visiting the Golden Temple?
It welcomes visitors of all faiths. You'll cover your head (scarves are provided), remove your shoes and wash your feet before entering. Dress modestly, and consider joining the langar, the free community kitchen is one of the temple's most moving experiences.
Is the Wagah Border ceremony worth it?
Absolutely, the daily flag-lowering drill between Indian and Pakistani guards is loud, theatrical and deeply patriotic, watched by roaring stadium crowds. We arrange seating and time your arrival to beat the queues; it does involve some walking and waiting.
How do we travel to Amritsar?
By the Shatabdi Express, a comfortable air-conditioned day-train from Delhi with meals served at your seat. For the return we use the train or a short flight depending on your dates, flying frees up more time in Delhi.
Is this tour suitable for families and older travellers?
Yes, the pace is comfortable and the private car allows rest stops and flexible timing. The Golden Temple, Jallianwala Bagh and monuments involve moderate walking; we adapt the Wagah visit and fort climbs for anyone who prefers to take it easy.
Can we customise or extend the tour?
Certainly, popular add-ons include Dharamshala and the Himalayan foothills beyond Amritsar, or Udaipur and Ranthambore after Jaipur. Tell us your dates and interests and we'll design a tailored plan and quote.
