If you have been thinking about taking a short but meaningful trip in 2025, chances are the Golden Triangle Tour has already popped into your mind. Delhi, Agra and Jaipur—these three cities form a route that almost every traveller in India or outside India wants to experience at least once. The distances are manageable, the roads are smooth, and every city feels completely different from the other. That’s exactly why Golden Triangle Tour Packages stay in demand throughout the year.
At Colorful Holiday Tour, we talk to a lot of travelers every day. Some want a fast 3-day plan because of limited leave, some want a relaxed 4N/5D plan, and many want a customized itinerary that includes food tours, markets, or heritage walks. To make things easier for you, we have created this complete guide that explains itinerary, price, best time, distance, important places, and everything you should know before booking.
This blog is written in a simple, honest, human tone—no confusing travel jargon. Just practical information that actually helps.
The name “Golden Triangle” comes from the triangular shape these three cities form on the map.
Here’s the quick picture:
Delhi → Agra: Around 233 km
Agra → Jaipur: Around 240 km
Jaipur → Delhi: Around 280 km
You can start the trip from any of the three cities, but most people begin from Delhi because flights and trains are easily available.
