India (Delhi, Agra, Jaipur, Varanasi)

1 itinerary · 0 open departures · 0 missions

India is a vast and diverse country in South Asia, home to one of the world's oldest civilisations and an extraordinary mix of landscapes, religions, and cultures. The Golden Triangle — Delhi, Agra, and Jaipur — is one of the most travelled circuits on the subcontinent, linking the Mughal grandeur of the Red Fort and Taj Mahal with Rajasthan's famed pink-walled palaces and forts. Varanasi, on the banks of the Ganges, is one of the world's oldest continuously inhabited cities and a deeply sacred centre of Hindu life, drawing travellers seeking spiritual immersion and cultural depth. Together, these destinations offer a concentrated introduction to India's history, architecture, street food, and colour.

Golden Triangle & Varanasi: Self-Launched Backpacker Route

A self-launched, solo-friendly version of Alkof Holidays' 8-day Golden Triangle with Varanasi. You'll cover the same big sights — Old Delhi, Agra Fort and the Taj Mahal, Fatehpur Sikri, Jaipur's Amber Fort and Pink City, then the ghats and Aarti ceremonies of Varanasi — but using sleeper trains, local autos and metro, hostels and guesthouses, and budget-friendly local guides you book yourself via GetYourGuide or on the ground. Expect roughly £55–75 a day per person (excluding international flights), a huge saving on the operator's discounted US$1,375 (~£1,080) per-person price. Costs are approximate and based on independent backpacker rates in late 2026; add ~£450–600 for return international flights.

Missions

Nobody's posted a Mission for India (Delhi, Agra, Jaipur, Varanasi) yet — which, frankly, is an opportunity.

Wait, what's a Mission?It's not a scheduled trip with dates and a minimum group size like a Departure — it's a goal. Learn to dive, do a Muay Thai camp, live somewhere for a month and work on something, chase one very specific experience. Post it, and other people chasing the same thing find you.

Be the first to post one: "Learn a completely impractical skill from a local — fire spinning, competitive coconut opening, whatever — and become weirdly good at it."
