India's Golden Triangle & Goa: Delhi, Agra, Jaipur & Coastal Beaches — 9 Days

From Mughal monuments and Rajasthani forts to Portuguese colonial heritage and Arabian Sea beaches

This nine-day journey traces two distinct chapters of Indian history and geography. The first half moves through the Golden Triangle — Delhi, Agra, and Jaipur — visiting Mughal-era monuments including the Taj Mahal, the fortified cities of Agra and Jaipur, and Qutub Minar. A flight from Jaipur transports travellers to Goa on the western coast, where Portuguese colonial architecture (the Basilica of Bom Jesus, Se Cathedral) stands alongside beaches, backwater cruises, and local markets. The route combines archaeological sites, religious structures, urban heritage walks, and three days of coastal time. A private guide accompanies the entire journey; all transfers, internal flights, and daily breakfast are included.
