Golden Triangle for Families: Delhi, the Taj Mahal and Jaipur

descriptionDescription

The Golden Triangle (Delhi-Agra-Jaipur) is India's most classic route and, with the right adaptations, a fascinating family experience. This 6-day itinerary begins in Delhi with a cycle-rickshaw ride through the bustling Chandni Chowk and a visit to Qutub Minar. The star day is Agra, where the Taj Mahal at dawn — with its gardens, reflecting pools and marble dome — leaves all ages speechless. You also visit Agra Fort, where the children can imagine Mughal battles. In Jaipur you ride the jeep up to Amber Fort, stroll past the Hawa Mahal and visit an elephant village where the children can feed and bathe them (no riding, for animal-ethics reasons). Transport in a private air-conditioned car softens the Indian experience. The family hotels have pools to make up for the heat. The food is adapted by always asking for 'non-spicy'.
