🏘 Delhi — Essential Facts
Delhi Sightseeing — Old Delhi, New Delhi & the Golden Triangle Gateway
Delhi is where nearly every Golden Triangle journey begins — home to India’s main international airport and, in its own right, a city layered with over a thousand years of history. Old Delhi is the 17th-century Mughal capital: the Red Fort, Jama Masjid, and the labyrinth of Chandni Chowk. New Delhi, just a few kilometres away, is the spacious, tree-lined capital the British built in the 1900s — India Gate, Rajpath, and the seat of India’s government.
Our Jaipur-based team — operating under GTT Experts for 12+ years — picks up every guest directly from Delhi airport and can cover the city’s highlights in a single well-paced day, or as a relaxed two-day start to your trip.

Dear travellers, we are grateful for being part of your lifetime memories!
We wanted Ranthambore added and two heritage palace hotels. A revised itinerary arrived the same afternoon with transparent pricing for each option. Done in one revision — we've already recommended them to friends.
I submitted the form on a Sunday evening and had a full 3-day itinerary with hotel photos and pricing in my inbox by Monday morning. Three free revisions later, I had my perfect trip.
Our trip to India was simply wonderful! The travel agency was extremely attentive from start to finish, always keeping in touch and making sure we had the best possible experience. The driver who accompanied us throughout the journey was excellent — very polite, helpful, and drove safely the entire time, which made a huge difference. The local guides were also fantastic, showing deep knowledge about the history and culture of each place we visited. Without a doubt, an unforgettable experience and a travel agency I highly recommend!
