About This Tour
Are you looking for a trip that fits both the Taj Mahal and a few quiet mornings of yoga into one itinerary? Arivo Holidays built this 8-day route to pair the Golden Triangle's forts and monuments with the calm of Rishikesh on the banks of the Ganges.
You'll cover Delhi, Agra, and Jaipur first, then head north to Rishikesh for guided yoga sessions and an evening Ganga Aarti. Arivo Holidays handles every hotel, transfer, and local guide along the way, so the trip stays easy to follow from the first day to the last.
Day-by-Day Itinerary
Your Arivo Holidays representative meets you on arrival and takes you to your hotel. Settle in, take a short walk if you're up for it, and get ready for the week ahead.
Overnight stay: Delhi
A morning train gets you into Agra in under two hours, where your Arivo Holidays representative meets you on the platform. The Taj Mahal comes first, followed by Agra Fort's red sandstone ramparts. If there's time left, the Baby Taj makes a lovely, quieter add-on before you settle in for the night.
Overnight stay: Agra
The drive to Jaipur breaks at Fatehpur Sikri, Akbar's abandoned red sandstone city, worth the short detour. By evening you're checked into Jaipur, with a sound and light show rounding off the day.
Overnight stay: Jaipur
Amber Fort opens the morning, with an elephant ride up to the entrance if you'd like the classic approach. City Palace, Jantar Mantar, and Hawa Mahal fill out the rest of the visit before you head back to Delhi by late afternoon.
Overnight stay: Delhi
A full day through Delhi's landmarks — Laxmi Narayan Temple, the Lotus Temple, Humayun's Tomb, and Qutab Minar, followed by a rickshaw ride through Chandni Chowk and a drive past India Gate.
Overnight stay: Delhi
The drive north brings a real change of scenery, ending at your hotel or ashram in Rishikesh. In the evening, the Ganga Aarti at Triveni Ghat is a peaceful way to mark the shift from cities to riverbank.
Overnight stay: Rishikesh
An early yoga session with an experienced teacher opens the day. Afterward, explore Laxman Jhula, the Beatles Ashram, and Parmarth Niketan, with local food along the way. A second yoga session in the evening rounds things off.
Overnight stay: Rishikesh
One last morning yoga session, then breakfast before the drive back to Delhi. Your Arivo Holidays representative takes you to the airport or train station for your onward journey.

Everything About 8 Days Golden Triangle with Rishikesh Yoga Tour | Arivo Holidays
About the Golden Triangle with Rishikesh Tour
Most Golden Triangle trips end in Jaipur or Delhi. This one, arranged by Arivo Holidays, adds Rishikesh, giving the itinerary a calmer, more reflective close after five days of forts and monuments.
The first half moves briskly through Delhi, Agra, and Jaipur, while the last three days slow right down with guided yoga and time along the Ganges. Arivo Holidays manages the trains, transfers, hotels, and guides throughout, keeping the switch between the two halves smooth.
Travel Tips for This Trip

Keep Documents Handy: Carry your ID, train tickets, and hotel details, with digital backups on your phone.
Respect Ashram Etiquette: Modest clothing and quiet mornings are appreciated if you choose an ashram stay.
