| What to carry | Passport, a small bag, water and your phone. Large bags, food, tripods and drones are not allowed. |
| Train option | The Gatimaan Express runs Delhi (Hazrat Nizamuddin) to Agra Cantt in about 1 hour 40 minutes, a good choice for a day trip. |

Golden Triangle Tour: Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a Golden Triangle tour cost in US dollars?
Our private Golden Triangle tours start from about US$299 per person for 4 days and US$449 per person for the classic 6 days, based on two people sharing a room. That includes a private air-conditioned car and driver, hotels with breakfast, airport pickup and drop, and local guides at the main monuments. You get an exact quote in USD within 24 hours.
How many days do I need for the Golden Triangle?
Six days (5 nights) is ideal: one day each for Delhi and Jaipur, a night in Agra so you can see the Taj Mahal at sunrise, and time to rest after the long flight. Four days is possible if you are short on time, but the days are longer.
Is the Taj Mahal open every day?
No. The Taj Mahal is closed to visitors on Fridays. It opens about 30 minutes before sunrise and closes about 30 minutes after sunset. We plan your route so your Agra day never falls on a Friday.
What is the Taj Mahal ticket price for foreigners?
At the time of writing, the entry ticket for foreign nationals is INR 1,100, with lower prices for SAARC and BIMSTEC citizens. Prices are set by the Archaeological Survey of India and can change. Monument tickets are not included in our package price, and we can book them for you.
Should we travel between the cities by car or train?
A private car is the most flexible: Delhi to Agra is about 3–4 hours on the Yamuna Expressway, Agra to Jaipur about 4–5 hours with a stop at Fatehpur Sikri, and Jaipur to Delhi about 5 hours. For Delhi–Agra you can also take the Gatimaan Express, which takes about 1 hour 40 minutes from Hazrat Nizamuddin to Agra Cantt.
What is the best time for a Golden Triangle tour?
October to March is the best time, with pleasant days and cool nights. April to June is very hot, often above 40°C. July to September is the monsoon: greener and quieter, with some rain.
Do I need a visa for India?
Most visitors do. Around 170 nationalities, including the USA, UK, Canada, Australia, Malaysia, Singapore and the EU, can apply online for an e-Tourist Visa at indianvisaonline.gov.in, at least 4 days before arrival. Holders of an OCI card, and citizens of Nepal and Bhutan, need no visa.
Can we add Rishikesh, Kashmir or the Himalayas?
Yes, and this is what we are known for. We are a North India DMC with our own teams in Himachal, Kashmir and Uttarakhand, so we can add Rishikesh, Kashmir, Shimla-Manali or the Char Dham Yatra to your Golden Triangle tour.
Is the Golden Triangle safe for first-time visitors and solo women?
Yes, with a private car, a driver who stays with you for the whole trip, licensed guides and a direct WhatsApp line to our team before and during the trip. We also brief you on dress codes, scams to avoid and tipping.
Who is Suzu Travels?
Suzu Travels is an Indian travel company and destination management company based in Himachal Pradesh, operating since 2019. We have hosted NRIs and international travellers from the USA, UK, Malaysia, Sri Lanka, the Maldives, Australia and more.
