India's Golden Triangle & Shekhawati Havelis — 7 Days
Delhi, Agra, Jaipur, and Mandawa: Mughal monuments, Rajasthani frescoes, and regional bazaars across 7 days
This seven-day itinerary moves through India's three primary cities of the Golden Triangle—Delhi, Agra, and Jaipur—and extends into Mandawa, a heritage town in Rajasthan's Shekhawati region known for its hand-painted havelis (traditional mansions). The route combines the architectural monuments of successive empires: Qutub Minar and Humayun's Tomb from Delhi; the Taj Mahal and Agra Fort from Agra; the City Palace, Jantar Mantar, and Hawa Mahal from Jaipur; and the merchant havelis of Mandawa. The itinerary is structured to serve travelers on a first encounter with North India's primary historical sites, with a deliberate departure from the standard three-city loop to include the painted frescoes and merchant architecture of the Shekhawati region. Transfers are by private air-conditioned vehicle throughout; guides are English-speaking and trained by India's Ministry of Tourism.
