India's Golden Triangle & Ranthambore: Delhi, Agra, Jaipur & Tiger Country — 6 Days

Delhi to Jaipur with Taj Mahal, Amber Fort, and morning and evening safaris at Ranthambore National Park

The route covers major Mughal and colonial monuments: the Taj Mahal at sunrise, Agra Fort, the Qutub Minar, Amber Fort, and the Hawa Mahal. Between architectural sites, the tour includes morning and evening jungle safaris in search of Royal Bengal Tigers and other wildlife.
