Dreaming of exploring India’s rich tapestry of history, culture, and landscapes over 10 days? A 10 Days Golden Triangle Tour is an ideal way to immerse yourself in the timeless wonders of Delhi, Agra, Jaipur — and perhaps even beyond.

The cost of a 10-day Golden Triangle itinerary largely depends on your travel style:

  • Budget-friendly group tours often begin at around US $56 per day, offering basic accommodations, shared transport, and standard guides. Over 10 days, that works out to roughly US $560 per person.

  • Mid-range packages typically fall between US $70 to $100 per day, inclusive of comfortable hotels, private transport, and guided sightseeing. Over 10 days, expect a range of US $700–$1,000.

  • Luxury or extended tours, especially those incorporating destinations like Mumbai or wildlife safaris, can cost more. For instance, a 10-day Golden Triangle with Mumbai is priced at US $950 per person (down from $1,900). A comprehensive 9–10 day Golden Triangle with Ranthambore can range from £1,514 to £1,629 (about US $1,900–2,050) excluding flights.

2. What’s Included in the Price

These tours generally bundle:

  • Accommodations: Ranging from budget hotels to heritage palaces or eco-lodges, depending on the pricing tier.

  • Transport: Private AC vehicles, shared coaches, or even internal flights/train rides.
