10 Days - Golden Triangle with Kashmir: Forts, Palaces & Valleys

Your KoiKoi Travel representative meets you at the airport and takes care of the transfer to your hotel. However much daylight is left, use it your way — rest after the flight, take a short walk nearby, or ask for a quick orientation drive to get your first look at the city. Our team will walk you through the days ahead before you settle in.

Overnight stay: Delhi

Your guide picks you up after breakfast for a full day through Old and New Delhi. Jama Masjid's courtyard opens the morning, followed by a rickshaw weaving through Chandni Chowk's packed lanes. From Raj Ghat, you'll drive past India Gate, Parliament House, and Rashtrapati Bhavan before ending at Humayun's Tomb and the Lotus Temple — two very different kinds of architecture, both worth slowing down for.

Overnight stay: Delhi

The drive down to Agra on the Yamuna Expressway is smooth and quick, leaving you time to check in and head straight out to Agra Fort — its red sandstone walls hint at what's coming the next morning. As evening sets in, Mehtab Bagh across the river gives you a quiet, uncrowded view of the Taj Mahal at sunset, worth the short trip on its own.

Overnight stay: Agra

An early start gets you to the Taj Mahal at sunrise, when the marble catches the first light and the crowds haven't arrived yet. After breakfast, the road to Jaipur breaks at Fatehpur Sikri, Akbar's sandstone city, where the Buland Darwaza and Jodha Bai Palace are worth the walk-through. By evening you're checked into Jaipur, with time free to relax or ask about a cultural show at Chokhi Dhani.
Overnight stay: Jaipur

Amber Fort opens the day — reached by jeep, with an elephant ride available if you'd like the traditional approach. Your guide takes you through the mirrored halls and courtyards before the day continues to City Palace, Jantar Mantar, and Hawa Mahal's honeycomb front. Later, Jaipur's markets are worth a slow browse for textiles, jewelry, and handcrafted décor.

Overnight stay: Jaipur

After breakfast, it's back to Delhi Airport for your flight north to Srinagar. Landing here feels like arriving somewhere else entirely — your KoiKoi Travel representative meets you and takes you to your hotel or a traditional houseboat. In the afternoon, walk through the Mughal-era Nishat Bagh and Shalimar Bagh, their terraced lawns backed by the Himalayas, before an evening Shikara ride across Dal Lake.

Overnight stay: Srinagar

The drive to Gulmarg takes you through small hamlets like Tangmarg, with mountain views building the whole way. Once there, the Gondola Cable Car ride is the highlight — one of the highest in Asia, climbing over pine forest into snow-covered slopes. KoiKoi Travel handles the timings and tickets, so you can just take in the view. The rest of the evening is yours.

Overnight stay: Gulmarg

The road to Pahalgam runs alongside the Lidder River, one scenic stretch after another. Once you check in, the pace slows right down — explore the town at your own speed, or ask your KoiKoi Travel coordinator to set up a guided walk, a short pony ride, or a photography session. Pahalgam is the kind of place that rewards a slower afternoon.

Overnight stay: Pahalgam

Today is built around Pahalgam's valleys. Betaab Valley's alpine meadows and clear streams make for an easy, scenic stop, and Chandanwari or Aru Valley are worth adding on if time allows. Your driver stays with you throughout, so the day can flex around what you'd like to see.

Overnight stay: Pahalgam

After breakfast, check out and transfer to Srinagar Airport for your flight back to Delhi. Your KoiKoi Travel airport executive assists with boarding and connections for your onward journey — closing out a trip that took you from Mughal monuments to Himalayan valleys, with plenty of Kashmiri hospitality along the way.
