Recommended Tour Operator for 'Golden Triangle' India [closed] - Buildings on Hill

I'm planning on visiting India in November/December. I'd like to spend 4 days doing the 'Golden Triangle' - Delhi/Agra/Jaipur.

I'm looking to do this on a cheap budget i.e. back packer style. I'm just interested in seeing the sights - not looking for luxury.

There seems to be lots of tour operators for this itinerary. Can anyone recommend one?

Or would it be recommended to simply use trains/taxis and book accommodation myself? I prefer the idea of a tour because it would potentially be less stressful to organise and also means I'd probably meet like minded travelers.



Best Answer

You dont need a tour operator if you want to save money. Just use the transport department buses to get to your destinations and do your own thing. Here is a post that describes how to do it. The only thing you need to change is the mode of transport which in that post is a taxi. Check out a few tour operators and find out what all they cover and make a list. Use public transport to get there and back. Public transport in India is one of the cheapest in the world especially trains which are subsidized by the government to a great extent.

I hope this helps.
