5 Days-5 Days Delhi, Agra & Amritsar Tour Package (Taj Mahal & Golden Temple)
Key Experiences
- The Taj Mahal, Up Close: A guided visit to one of the world's most recognised monuments, with Agra Fort right after.
- Delhi's Old-New Contrast: Jama Masjid and Chandni Chowk's rickshaw lanes on one side, India Gate and the government quarter on the other.
- Amritsar's Golden Temple: A quiet, early visit to Sikhism's holiest shrine, and time at Jallianwala Bagh nearby.
- The Wagah Border Ceremony: The high-energy evening flag-lowering ritual at the India-Pakistan border, just outside Amritsar.
- Two UNESCO Sites in Delhi: Humayun's Tomb and the Qutab Minar, both on your last day in the capital.
- Train Travel Between Cities: Delhi to Amritsar and back is covered by train, a comfortable break from road transfers.
About This Tour
Five days is enough time to see three very different sides of North India, if the route is planned right. Flag Journeys built this trip to cover the essentials — Delhi's mix of old and new, the Taj Mahal at its early-morning best, and Amritsar Golden Temple — without the trip feeling rushed.
You'll start in Delhi, take a day trip down to Agra to see the Taj Mahal and Agra Fort, then head northwest by train to Amritsar for the Golden Temple and the evening flag ceremony at the Wagah Border. From there, it's back to Delhi for a last day of sightseeing before your flight home.
Flag Journeys handles the airport pickups, train tickets, hotel stays, and every transfer along the way, so the trip stays simple to follow even with three cities packed into five days.
Day By Day Itinerary
Day 1:Arrival in Delhi
Your Flag Journeys representative will be waiting at the arrival lounge to take you straight to your hotel. If your flight lands with enough daylight left, head out to Akshardham for the evening — the temple complex is worth the visit on its own, and the musical fountain show after dark is a nice way to ease into the trip. The short metro ride there and back is half the fun.
Overnight stay: Delhi
Day 2:Same-Day Agra Excursion
You're up early for the roughly four-hour drive to Agra. A local guide meets you on arrival and takes you straight to the Taj Mahal — nothing quite prepares you for that first view through the entrance gate. From there, it's a short drive to Agra Fort, where the sandstone ramparts give you a completely different feel for Mughal-era Agra. By late afternoon, you're back on the road to Delhi.
Overnight stay: Delhi
Breakfast is served on board as your train heads northwest to Amritsar. Once you arrive, your Flag Journeys representative meets you on the platform for the transfer to your hotel. Later in the day, head out to the Wagah Border — the atmosphere here builds fast, with crowds cheering on both sides as the flag comes down each evening. It's one of those experiences that's hard to describe until you've stood in the middle of it.
Overnight stay: Amritsar
Start the day at the Golden Temple, ideally before the crowds build — the reflection in the surrounding pool is one of those sights that photos never quite capture. A short walk away, Jallianwala Bagh offers a quieter, more reflective stop. Spend the afternoon browsing Amritsar's markets and trying the local food before boarding your evening train back to Delhi, where your Flag Journeys representative will be waiting at the platform.
Overnight stay: Delhi
Day 5:Delhi Sightseeing & Departure
After checking out, spend your last morning taking in Old and New Delhi. Jama Masjid's courtyard is a good place to start, followed by a rickshaw ride through Chandni Chowk's packed lanes — spice and dry fruit stalls line the route the whole way. In New Delhi, you'll pass India Gate, the President's House, and Parliament House, then visit Humayun's Tomb and finish at the Qutab Minar. In the evening, transfer to Delhi Airport for your onward flight.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything About 5 Days Delhi, Agra & Amritsar Tour Package (Taj Mahal & Golden Temple)
This itinerary pairs two of North India's biggest draws — the Taj Mahal and the Golden Temple — into one five-day trip, something most short tours don't attempt. Flag Journeys put this route together for travelers who want the Golden Triangle essentials plus a proper stop in Amritsar, without stretching the trip out to a week or more.
The days move quickly: an Agra day trip for the Taj Mahal and Agra Fort, an overnight train to Amritsar for the Golden Temple and the Wagah Border ceremony, and a final day exploring both old and new Delhi before departure. Flag Journeys manages the hotels, train tickets, transfers, and local guides throughout, so the pace stays comfortable even with three cities on the schedule.
Travel Tips for This Trip
Keep Your Documents Handy: Carry your ID, train tickets, and hotel confirmations — digital copies on your phone are a good backup.

Pack Light for the Train Legs: You'll be carrying your own bags on and off the platform at Delhi and Amritsar stations.
Reach the Wagah Border Early: Seats fill up fast before the evening ceremony, so arriving early gets you a better view.
Start Agra and Amritsar Sightseeing Early: Both cities get busy and warm by midday, so an early start makes the visits more comfortable.
Stay Connected: A local SIM or roaming plan makes it easy to reach your Flag Journeys representative at any point in the trip.
