The best Golden Triangle tour for women travellers is our Golden Triangle for first timers, from $320 per person for two travellers sharing. It runs five days through Delhi, Agra and Jaipur with your own car and driver, a licensed guide in each city and hotels arranged by category. The rate for one traveller is confirmed with your plan.
Women planning India often want the same things: to know who is meeting them, to understand how the days will run, and to feel that someone is looking after the practical side. A private journey answers much of that. You have one car, a driver who stays with you, a licensed guide at each monument and hotels arranged by category.
This page describes what each journey gives you, plainly. It does not make promises beyond what we arrange. Tell us anything that matters to you when we plan, whether that is the hours of the drive, the kind of hotel or how much time you would like alone, and we will talk it through before you confirm.
We looked at how soon you meet your driver and guide, how settled the first days are, how many early starts there are, and what kind of hotel suits the journey. Each journey is private, flights are not included, and the from-rates assume two sharing.
Golden Triangle for first-timers
- 5 days / 4 nights
- Delhi · Agra · Jaipur
- Own car and driver, licensed guide
Your driver meets you at the airport holding a name board, helps with luggage and takes you to your hotel. The next day your guide spends the morning at Humayun's Tomb, passes India Gate and visits the Qutub Minar, then walks through Old Delhi. Day three is the drive to Agra, roughly three to four hours, with Agra Fort that afternoon and the Taj Mahal the next morning. Fatehpur Sikri breaks the road to Jaipur, and Amber Fort and the City Palace complete the journey.
It suits women who are new to India because the arrival is simple and the plan is clear. A driver and a licensed guide handle tickets, timing and the small details, with hotels arranged by category. It is from $320 per person, two travellers sharing, and the rate for one traveller is confirmed with your plan. The drives are long, roughly three to six hours.
Best for: A woman travelling alone or with a friend who wants a clear plan and a driver and guide handling the practical side.
Worth knowing: The Taj Mahal is closed on Fridays, and the sunrise visit can begin well before dawn if you choose it.
Golden Triangle at a gentle pace
- 8 days / 7 nights
- Delhi · Agra · Jaipur
- Own car and driver, licensed guide
The first day has nothing planned, so you can rest after the flight and meet your driver without a schedule. Delhi then gets a second, easy day, the drive to Agra takes roughly three and a half to four hours, and there is only one dawn start, for the Taj Mahal. A light day at Agra Fort follows, and Jaipur is begun at ten rather than at dawn.
It suits women who prefer hotel time between outings and few early mornings. You have your own car and driver and a licensed guide in each city, with hotels arranged by category, from $460 per person, two travellers sharing. Eight days is a longer commitment, and the drive from Agra to Jaipur is still about four and a half to five hours.
Best for: A woman who wants quiet evenings, a rest day on arrival and only one very early start.
Worth knowing: It needs eight days, and the Taj Mahal is closed on Fridays, so the Agra days are moved to suit your dates.
Luxury Golden Triangle, five-star hotels
- 6 days / 5 nights
- Delhi · Agra · Jaipur
- Own car and driver, licensed guide
Six days with a five-star hotel in Delhi, Agra and Jaipur, chosen with you from the options available on your dates. The Taj Mahal is seen at first light, followed by a slow breakfast at the hotel. Lunches are long and the Jaipur afternoon is kept open on purpose.
Women who want a calm, well-run hotel to return to each evening often choose this one. It also has a private car and driver and a licensed guide in each city. The cost is shown on request: we send it with your plan once we know your dates, group size and hotel choices.
Best for: A woman who wants five-star hotels and unhurried days alongside a private car and guides.
Worth knowing: The cost is sent with your plan rather than listed, and the specific hotels depend on availability on your dates.
7-Day Private Golden Triangle
- 7 days / 6 nights
- Delhi · Agra · Jaipur
- Own car and driver, licensed guide
Seven days with a quiet arrival, a full Delhi day, a measured drive to Agra and the Taj Mahal at first light. Fatehpur Sikri breaks the drive to Jaipur, and Jaipur has one full day for Amber Fort, the City Palace and the Jantar Mantar. No two long drives fall on back to back days.
It suits women who want depth in each city without the days feeling crowded. You travel with your own car and driver and a licensed guide in each city, with hotels arranged by category. It is from $410 per person, two travellers sharing. Days three and five are the longer drives, and a late flight suits the last day best.
Best for: A woman with a week who wants a steady pace and a full day in Jaipur.
Worth knowing: Red Fort in Delhi is closed on Mondays, and the Taj Mahal is closed on Fridays, so we adjust the order of days.
How to choose between these
- Choose Golden Triangle for first timers if you want a clear five-day plan with the practical side handled.
- Choose the gentle pace journey if you prefer a rest day on arrival and only one early start.
- Choose the five-star journey if the hotel matters most to you, and ask for the cost with your plan.
- Choose the 7-day journey if you would like a full day in each city and a calmer shape to the week.
- Whichever you choose, tell us what matters to you when we plan, and check your dates against Fridays, when the Taj Mahal is closed.
