Itinerary

Day By Day Itinerary

Day 1:Arrival in Delhi

Your Flag Journeys representative meets you on arrival and takes you to your hotel. Settle in, take a short walk if you're up for it, and get ready for the week ahead.

Overnight stay: Delhi

Day 2:Delhi to Agra by Train

A morning train gets you into Agra in under two hours, where your Flag Journeys representative meets you on the platform. The Taj Mahal comes first, followed by Agra Fort's red sandstone ramparts. If there's time left, the Baby Taj makes a lovely, quieter add-on before you settle in for the night.

Overnight stay: Agra

Day 3:Agra to Jaipur via Fatehpur Sikri

The drive to Jaipur breaks at Fatehpur Sikri, Akbar's abandoned red sandstone city, worth the short detour. By evening you're checked into Jaipur, with a sound and light show rounding off the day.

Overnight stay: Jaipur

Day 4:Jaipur Sightseeing to Delhi

Amber Fort opens the morning, with an elephant ride up to the entrance if you'd like the classic approach. City Palace, Jantar Mantar, and Hawa Mahal fill out the rest of the visit before you head back to Delhi by late afternoon.

Overnight stay: Delhi

Day 5:Delhi Sightseeing

A full day through Delhi's landmarks — Laxmi Narayan Temple, the Lotus Temple, Humayun's Tomb, and Qutab Minar, followed by a rickshaw ride through Chandni Chowk and a drive past India Gate.

Overnight stay: Delhi

Day 6:Delhi to Rishikesh

The drive north brings a real change of scenery, ending at your hotel or ashram in Rishikesh. In the evening, the Ganga Aarti at Triveni Ghat is a peaceful way to mark the shift from cities to riverbank.

Overnight stay: Rishikesh

Day 7:Rishikesh Yoga Session

An early yoga session with an experienced teacher opens the day. Afterward, explore Laxman Jhula, the Beatles Ashram, and Parmarth Niketan, with local food along the way. A second yoga session in the evening rounds things off.

About the Golden Triangle with Rishikesh Tour

Most Golden Triangle trips end in Jaipur or Delhi. This one, arranged by Flag Journeys, adds Rishikesh, giving the itinerary a calmer, more reflective close after five days of forts and monuments.

The first half moves briskly through Delhi, Agra, and Jaipur, while the last three days slow right down with guided yoga and time along the Ganges. Flag Journeys manages the trains, transfers, hotels, and guides throughout, keeping the switch between the two halves smooth.
