Safe Travelling: 7 tips for the Golden Triangle Tour

You can have a hassle-free, enjoyable trip to Delhi-Agra-Jaipur by following these easy, though fundamental tips on travelling:

Travelling in the right season

Travel during October to March when the weather is favorable and sightseeing is easy. The extreme summer months should not be used.

Plan a Balanced Itinerary

Always try to spend a minimum of 5-6 days in all three cities. There is no need to hurry; experience the charm of each destination.

Start Early Each Day

You should start your sightseeing in the early morning to beat the crowds and take gorgeous pictures, more so at the Taj Mahal.

Wear Decent and Traditional

Dress in light cotton, shoes, and a scarf to places of worship. Stay hydrated during the day.

Eat Smart & Stay Safe

Eat local foods, but remember to go to clean and reputable restaurants. I would never recommend that you drink tap water. Always use bottled or filtered water.

Engaging or hiring an Agency

Select well-trained guides or reputable tourism agencies, such as Atlas Travel, to have a secure and well-structured experience.

Shop Wisely

Haggle nicely in the local stores, examine the quality of the products, and have some money to spend on trivial items.
