Best Golden Triangle Tour with Ranthambore Tiger Safari

Rajasthan and add-ons
Our pick

The best Golden Triangle tour with a Ranthambore tiger safari is our Golden Triangle with Ranthambore, six days from $365 per person for two travellers sharing. It runs Delhi, Agra, Ranthambore and Jaipur with your own car, driver and guides. Tiger sightings are never guaranteed.

This page is for travellers who want the Taj Mahal and Jaipur and also a chance to see tigers in the wild. Ranthambore National Park sits between Agra and Jaipur, so it fits the Golden Triangle route naturally.

We ranked journeys on how much time Ranthambore gets, how the travel days are paced and how well the cities are covered. Safaris cannot promise a tiger, so we build in more than one chance where the plan allows.
