India Seven days covers the full Golden Triangle at a relaxed pace. Days 1-2 Delhi, Days 3-4 the full Agra circuit, Days 5-6 the full Jaipur circuit, Day 7 departure. A honeymoon and all-round favorite — the authentic introduction to North India.
A full week is enough to actually understand Agra. Three days for the major districts, three days for nearby regions, and one day for the offbeat neighborhoods most tourists miss. The back half of the trip is more about texture than checking landmarks — your photos get more diverse and you walk away with a three-dimensional sense of the city.
