Golden Triangle, Rajasthan and Safari Solo Holiday

For solo travellers looking to immerse themselves in the history, palaces, forts and wildlife of northern India, this itinerary has all bases covered. Stay in simple, characterful, heritage properties and travel in comfort in your own private vehicle with guides. From the bustle of Delhi to the wonders of the Taj Mahal, the wildlife-packed Ranthambore to the serene beauty of Udaipur, this itinerary will provide a lifetime of memories.

Start in Delhi, where you will stay at the homely and intimate Colonel’s Retreat. Discover New Delhi and wander the narrow lanes of Old Delhi, taking in sights such as the Qutb Minar and Humayun’s Tomb. Next you will visit the Taj Mahal in Agra, both at sunrise and sunset. A truly astonishing building that needs no introduction. Swap the big city for the tranquility of the jungle now as you visit Ranthambore National Park. Stay at the wonderful Khem Villas and venture out on safari in the hope of seeing a tiger. Sightings are common and there is also so much more to see including Gaur (Indian Bison), Sambar deer, and peacocks.

Jaipur is your next port of call where you will roam the pink city, admiring the pretty Hawa Mahal, and exploring the city palace complex. Visit honey-coloured Amber Fort and explore with your guide. Jodhpur and the charming Pal Haveli are next. The old blue city is a labyrinth and best explored on foot with your guide. Mehrangarh Fort is one of India’s most impressive. End your adventure at Jagat Niwas Palace by beautiful Lake Pichola in Udaipur. More relaxing than the other cities visited so far, Udaipur is the perfect place to end your trip and reflect on the many wonders you have seen along the way.
