Frequently Asked Questions

Why add Orchha and Khajuraho to the Golden Triangle?+
Most Golden Triangle tours stop at Delhi, Agra and Jaipur. Orchha and Khajuraho add two of central India’s most rewarding heritage sites โ€” plus a tiger safari โ€” while staying close to the original route, without a major detour.
Is the tiger safari guaranteed to include a tiger sighting?+
No safari can guarantee a sighting, as these are wild animals in a natural reserve. Panna National Park has a healthy and recovering tiger population, and sightings are common but never certain.
How does the per-person price work?+
Each vehicle has a cost for the full route, shared across your group โ€” plus certain per-person costs like entry fees, so the total scales slightly with headcount while the per-person rate drops as more people join. Use the calculator above for your exact group size.
What’s the best time of year for this trip?+
October through March. Winter mornings can be cool, especially for early starts to Amber Fort, the Taj Mahal and the tiger safari โ€” pack a light jacket.
Can I customise this itinerary?+
Yes โ€” extra nights, additional cities like Varanasi or Ranthambore, or a different pace can all be arranged. Message us on WhatsApp with what you have in mind.
