Best Time for a Golden Triangle Tour with Varanasi
The ideal time to take a Golden Triangle Tour with Varanasi is between October and March, when daytime temperatures across Delhi, Agra, Jaipur, and Varanasi are pleasant and comfortable for sightseeing. Winter months (December–January) can be cold in the early mornings, especially during the Ganges boat ride, so pack warm layers. Summer months (April–June) are extremely hot, particularly in Rajasthan, and are best avoided unless you don't mind high temperatures. The monsoon season (July–September) brings occasional heavy rain but also lush, green landscapes and fewer crowds, making it a good option for budget travelers.

Delhi Sightseeing – Old and New Delhi

Delhi to Agra – Taj Mahal City
Drive to Agra via the Yamuna Expressway (approximately 3–4 hours).

As the sun sets, witness the Taj Mahal changing colors from a nearby viewpoint — a preview of tomorrow's highlight. Overnight stay in Agra.
Taj Mahal Sunrise and Onward to Jaipur
