The Golden Triangle with Kerala Ayurveda Tour connects India’s majestic north and tranquil south in one unforgettable experience. The first half reveals the historic grandeur of Delhi, Jaipur, and Agra — cities that shaped India’s royal past with forts, palaces, and the timeless Taj Mahal. The second half slows your pace, carrying you to Kerala, where lush landscapes, houseboat cruises, and rejuvenating Ayurveda therapies restore harmony between body and mind.
This 10-day itinerary offers the best of both worlds: heritage and healing. With a private car and driver throughout and stays at select heritage hotels and Ayurvedic retreats, you’ll witness India’s contrasts — from the pink sandstone walls of Jaipur to the emerald lagoons of Alleppey — seamlessly blending history, nature, and self-care.
Arrive in Delhi, India’s capital and a living museum of empires. Your chauffeur will meet you at the airport and escort you to your hotel. Spend the day resting or take a short drive through the colonial avenues and illuminated India Gate at night.
Delhi’s energy is magnetic — a blend of centuries-old bazaars and modern sophistication that sets the tone for your journey. Overnight stay in Delhi.
After breakfast, explore Old Delhi, starting with the Red Fort, Jama Masjid, and a rickshaw ride through Chandni Chowk’s colorful chaos. Visit Raj Ghat, Mahatma Gandhi’s serene memorial by the Yamuna River.
In the afternoon, discover New Delhi — Humayun’s Tomb, Qutub Minar, and the elegant Lotus Temple. The architecture, both Mughal and modern, narrates the story of India’s evolving identity. Overnight stay in Delhi.
After breakfast, drive to Jaipur, the royal capital of Rajasthan and the heart of the Golden Triangle. En route, observe changing landscapes — from urban Delhi to the rustic charm of the desert plains.
Upon arrival, check into your heritage hotel. Evening free for leisure or visit Nahargarh Fort for panoramic sunset views. Jaipur’s vibrant bazaars and royal atmosphere make it a delightful introduction to Rajasthan’s regal soul. Overnight stay in Jaipur.
Start your day with a visit to the majestic Amber Fort, rising above the Aravalli Hills. Explore its mirrored halls, courtyards, and royal chambers that once hosted the Rajput kings.
Later, visit City Palace, Jantar Mantar, and the iconic Hawa Mahal (Palace of Winds). In the afternoon, stroll through Johari Bazaar, famous for jewelry and textiles. Evening optional dinner at a royal courtyard restaurant. Overnight in Jaipur.
Drive to Agra, stopping en route at Fatehpur Sikri, a magnificent ghost city built by Emperor Akbar. Walk through its red sandstone palaces and mosques frozen in time.
Arrive in Agra by afternoon and visit Agra Fort, followed by a sunset view of the Taj Mahal from Mehtab Bagh across the Yamuna River. Overnight stay in Agra.
Wake early to witness the Taj Mahal at sunrise, when its marble glows with the soft light of dawn — a sight that captures pure emotion.
After breakfast, drive back to Delhi, where you’ll stay overnight or transfer directly to the airport, depending on your next morning’s flight. Rest and prepare for the southern phase of your journey.
Fly from Delhi to Trivandrum, gateway to Kerala’s tranquil coast. Upon arrival, drive to Kovalam, a serene beach retreat known for its Ayurveda resorts and natural calm.
Check into your seaside wellness retreat and meet your resident Ayurvedic doctor for a personalized wellness consultation. Evening free to walk along the beach or simply listen to the rhythm of the Arabian Sea. Overnight stay in Kovalam.
Begin your day with a yoga session followed by your first Ayurvedic spa treatment, designed to balance energy and rejuvenate the senses. Treatments may include Abhyanga (warm oil massage) or Shirodhara (oil therapy) depending on your prescribed plan.
Spend your afternoon by the sea or reading in the garden with herbal tea. Evening free for meditation or sunset at Lighthouse Beach. Overnight in Kovalam.
After breakfast, drive to Alleppey, the heart of Kerala’s backwaters. Board your private houseboat, where a dedicated crew will take you on a gentle cruise through palm-lined canals and emerald lagoons.
Enjoy traditional Kerala cuisine cooked on board and watch life unfold along the banks — fishermen casting nets, children waving from coconut groves, and the stillness of water reflecting the sky. Overnight stay on the houseboat.
After breakfast, disembark and drive to Cochin (Kochi) for your departure. Depending on your flight schedule, you may explore the Fort Kochi area — Chinese fishing nets, colonial churches, and local spice markets.
Your Golden Triangle with Kerala Ayurveda Tour ends where India’s contrasts meet — between palaces and palm trees, marble and monsoon, history and healing.
