Golden Triangle with Ranthambore: 8 Days of Heritage and Wildlife
The classic Golden Triangle, with a tiger safari at Ranthambore National Park built into the middle of the route.
This is a 7-night, 8-day tour that adds a Ranthambore tiger safari to the classic Golden Triangle: Delhi, Agra, Fatehpur Sikri, Ranthambore and Jaipur, then back to Delhi. You get Delhi sightseeing, the Taj Mahal, a stop at Fatehpur Sikri on the way to Ranthambore, a wildlife safari at Ranthambore National Park, and a Jaipur city tour. The park is a natural home of the Royal Bengal Tiger, but sightings are never guaranteed. Raahi Cabz can plan the road legs as a private-cab trip, and the route can be adjusted. See the full day-by-day itinerary below.
The classic Golden Triangle is a tour of cities: Delhi, Agra and Jaipur. This version breaks it up in the middle with Ranthambore National Park, a natural home of the Royal Bengal Tiger, so the trip combines an introduction to India's iconic cities with a stretch of wilderness.
A safari is different from sightseeing because nothing is guaranteed. You might spot a tiger, you might not, and that uncertainty is part of what makes the day different from the monuments around it.
We can plan the road legs as a private cab journey, so the drives between the cities and the park follow your pace.
Why Add Ranthambore to a Golden Triangle Trip
The standard Delhi, Agra and Jaipur route is a history and architecture tour from start to finish. It's popular for good reason, but after several days of forts and palaces some travellers want a break from buildings.
Ranthambore is that break. It's one of India's best-known tiger reserves, and the Ranthambore Fort sits inside the park itself. Placing it between Agra and Jaipur gives the trip a change of rhythm halfway through.

Day by Day
Arrive in Delhi
Nothing scheduled beyond settling in. The sightseeing starts tomorrow.
Delhi Sightseeing
A day of Delhi sightseeing, covering the city's famous attractions. Delhi takes a bit of getting used to, so don't try to rush every corner of it.
Delhi to Agra
On to Agra, where the Taj Mahal is the main attraction.
Agra to Fatehpur Sikri to Ranthambore
You leave Agra with a stop at Fatehpur Sikri, an abandoned Mughal capital, on the way to Ranthambore. Somewhere along the drive the scenery changes from monuments to open country.
Wildlife Safari at Ranthambore National Park
A jungle safari in the national park, a natural home of the Royal Bengal Tiger. A safari runs on uncertainty, so go in hoping for a tiger without counting on one.
Ranthambore to Jaipur, by road
By road to Jaipur, with the sightseeing saved for tomorrow.
Jaipur City Tour
A city tour of Jaipur, the main sightseeing day in the city.
Jaipur to Delhi, by road
The drive back to Delhi, and the end of the trip.
When to Go
October to March
Comfortable temperatures for sightseeing in the cities, and the park is open for safaris.
April to September
April to June is very hot, and the park is usually closed for the monsoon, roughly July to September. Ask whether the safari is possible on your dates.
Who This Trip Suits
It suits first-time visitors who don't want the whole holiday to be monuments, families, and anyone interested in wildlife. It's a poorer fit if seeing a tiger is the whole point for you, because safaris never come with a guarantee, and it's worth going in knowing that.
