The best Golden Triangle tour for Singaporean travellers with a long weekend is our 4-Day Private Golden Triangle: Delhi, Agra and Jaipur with your own car, driver and licensed guide, from $270 per person, two travellers sharing. With a full week, our 7-Day Private Golden Triangle gives each city more room.
This page is for travellers flying from Singapore. The flight to Delhi is shorter than from Europe or the Americas, and direct services may be available, though please check your own booking. India is about two and a half hours behind Singapore, so the clock change is small. That makes a few days in India realistic for people who cannot take much leave.
We ranked the journeys by how well they fit a long weekend or a full week, and by how well the food is handled for travellers who care about what they eat. Flights are not included. Visa rules depend on your passport and change from time to time, so please check the current rules with the official Indian authorities before you book.
4-Day Private Golden Triangle
- 4 days / 3 nights
- Delhi · Agra · Jaipur
- Own car and driver, licensed guide
Four days give you Delhi, Agra and Jaipur with one car and driver and a licensed guide in each city. Day one is a calm Delhi introduction with Humayun's Tomb, India Gate and Old Delhi, then the car drives to Agra for the Taj Mahal. A day follows with Fatehpur Sikri on the road to Jaipur, and a final morning at Amber Fort before the drive back to Delhi.
It suits couples and friends who want all three cities without spending a week on leave. It starts from $270 per person, two travellers sharing. The honest limit is that the Agra to Jaipur drive is roughly five hours, and the last day mixes Amber Fort with the road back to Delhi, so keep your flight home for the evening.
Best for: Singaporeans with a long weekend or four days of leave who want the classic route.
Worth knowing: The Taj Mahal is closed on Fridays, so a Friday start or finish changes the order of the days.
7-Day Private Golden Triangle
- 7 days / 6 nights
- Delhi · Agra · Jaipur
- Own car and driver, licensed guide
Seven days cover Delhi, Agra and Jaipur with a quiet first day, a full Delhi day, the Taj Mahal at first light, Fatehpur Sikri on the way to Jaipur and a full Jaipur day. The two longest drives fall on days three and five, at roughly three to four hours and five hours.
It suits travellers who want each city to feel properly seen and not rushed. It starts from $410 per person, two travellers sharing, with hotels arranged by category only. The honest limit is that a full week of leave is needed, and the drives are still real even at this pace.
Best for: Singaporeans with a week who want depth in each city and a calm arrival.
Worth knowing: It needs more leave, and the drives are roughly three to six hours between cities.
Golden Triangle food journey
- 6 days / 5 nights
- Delhi · Agra · Jaipur
- Own car and driver, licensed guide
Six days link Delhi, Agra and Jaipur with meals shaping the days. You walk the lanes of Old Delhi with a guide, eat Mughlai cooking in Agra and try a Rajasthani thali in Jaipur, with spice markets along the way. The monuments are still there, but lunch is chosen with the same care.
It suits travellers who plan holidays around what they eat. It starts from $365 per person, two travellers sharing. Vegetarian, vegan and non-vegetarian choices are available at every stop, but please state yours in advance. The honest limit is that street food suits a gentle start for sensitive stomachs, so tell us your spice tolerance when we plan.
Best for: Singaporeans who love hawker-style food and want to eat their way through the three cities.
Worth knowing: Lunches are lighter on market days, and heat levels vary, so please tell us your spice tolerance.
3-Day Private Golden Triangle
- 3 days / 2 nights
- Delhi · Agra · Jaipur
- Own car and driver, licensed guide
Three days link Delhi, Agra and Jaipur by road. You see Agra Fort and Itimad-ud-Daulah on the arrival afternoon, the Taj Mahal at sunrise on day two, then Fatehpur Sikri on the road to Jaipur, and Amber Fort and the City Palace in one Jaipur morning.
It suits travellers who are comfortable in a car and want the three cities in the right order. It starts from $225 per person, two travellers sharing. The honest limit is that days two and three each include roughly five hours of driving, so it is brisk.
Best for: Singaporeans with a few days to spare who accept a quick pace.
Worth knowing: Fog can flatten a December or January sunrise, and early flights home need a different plan.
How to choose between these
- Choose four days if you have a long weekend and want an easier first day than the three-day plan.
- Choose seven days if you can take a week, because each city gets more room.
- Choose the food journey if meals are the point, and tell us about allergies and spice tolerance.
- Choose three days only if you are comfortable with two long drives close together.
- Tell us your dates early. The Taj Mahal is closed on Fridays, so a long weekend that touches a Friday needs care.
