India's Golden Triangle with Ranthambore Wildlife Safari — 8 Days
Delhi, Agra, and Jaipur's monuments, Fatehpur Sikri, and tiger safari in Ranthambore National Park
This eight-day journey moves through India's most historically significant cities—Delhi, Agra, and Jaipur—before turning toward wildlife. The route covers Mughal and Rajput-era architecture across multiple centuries: the Taj Mahal in Agra, Amber Fort in Jaipur, and the sixteenth-century palace complex at Fatehpur Sikri en route to Ranthambore National Park. The final portion shifts focus to wildlife, with morning and evening safari drives through Ranthambore National Park, where Bengal tigers, leopards, and deer move through their natural habitat. Throughout, transfers are by private air-conditioned vehicle; accommodation is at hotel properties and a wildlife resort; an English-speaking guide accompanies the group.
