Tour Overview

Golden Triangle & Central India Tour

This 11-day tour covers two distinct parts of India. The first four days focus on the Golden Triangle: Delhi, Agra, and Jaipur. You visit the Taj Mahal at sunrise, Agra Fort, Fatehpur Sikri, Amber Fort, and Jaipur’s old city markets. On Day 4 you fly from Delhi to Nagpur and move into the second half of the trip.

Days 5 through 11 are based in central India. You spend three days in Pench and three days in Tadoba, with morning and evening safaris on each full day. Both parks hold strong tiger populations. Tadoba in particular is one of India’s most productive reserves for tiger sightings.

A 9-day version of this tour is available. Two safaris from Day 7 in Pench and two safaris from Day 10 in Tadoba are removed to shorten the itinerary.
