5-Day Golden Triangle Tour by Train from Delhi

Travelling by train across the sunbaked countryside offers an iconic Indian experience, but without a guide to get you into the right car and seat you'd be lost - signage and staffing in train stations are minimal. We were so happy we booked with Akbran. The hotels were very good, the guides knowledgeable and the drivers skilled at getting us safely through the chaos of Indian traffic. Although the three of us travelled unaccompanied by a tour host, the owner of Akbran (Summit) checked in with us regularly to ensure all was going well. As one should expect, there were a few glitches along the way but we pulled together in the adventure and all worked out in the end. What I didn't realize at first was how easy it would be to alter the itinerary to better match our preferences. Hotel choices, number of days per city, preferred stops and more are flexible - but the suggested itinerary is great, and great value, as it is. Still, consider adding a second day in beautiful Jaipur, if your schedule allows it. Thank you, Summit!

Excellent tour taking in many sites. Tour operator took away all the stress of travelling in a foreign country. Very detailed directions the made the experience very enjoyable. Well worth the cost.
