The best Golden Triangle tour for photographers is our Golden Triangle for photographers: seven days across Delhi, Agra and Jaipur with your own car and driver and a licensed guide in each city, from $410 per person, two travellers sharing. A private car lets you stop for the light.
Photographers need time at the right hour, not more monuments. This page is for people who plan around light.
We weighed time of day, flexibility and private transport. Fog in December and January can flatten a sunrise, and the Taj is closed on Fridays.
