The Golden Triangle, at your pace

Delhi, Agra and Jaipur form the classic first India route. The secret for our solo guests is a Steady 🌅 pace: a sunrise visit to the Taj Mahal before the crowds, a private car between cities, the right heritage hotels, and a rest day woven in so nothing ever feels rushed.

Travelling solo, beautifully supported

Your private guide handles every practical detail — the bustle, the bargaining, the navigation — so you experience the colour and warmth of India without the friction first-timers worry about. Many solo guests describe it as the trip that changed how they see travel altogether.

Frequently asked questions

Is India safe for a solo traveller over 60?

With the right arrangements, yes. We use trusted heritage hotels, a private car and a vetted guide throughout, so you are never navigating India's energy alone. Solo guests who travel this way consistently feel safe, comfortable and thoroughly looked after.

How long should a first solo trip to India be?

We recommend at least 9–12 nights for the Golden Triangle with rest days, or longer if you would like to add Rajasthan or Kerala. A gentle pace with built-in rest makes all the difference to enjoying rather than enduring the journey.
