- 48 Hours in India: Delhi, Agra & Jaipur
India is a country that would take an entire lifetime to fully explore, so when we set our sights on just 48 hours in India, we knew it would be a challenge. However, knocking out the Golden Triangle (Delhi, Jaipur, Agra) in a weekend might just be possible.
TripVerse dared us to try and accomplish the feat and we took on the challenge, always up for proving adventure travel in exotic destinations is possible, even during a weekend trip.
If you know us, you know we take any chance we can to travel, but spending 48 hours in India has been on our list for a long time, and with so many short, cheap flights to India from Dubai, it was only a matter of time before we took on the challenge. Using a three day weekend, we flew direct to Delhi and had a car and driver waiting for us.
The Golden Triangle is one of the most popular tourist routes in India, allowing travelers to visit New Delhi, Agra, and Jaipur in just a few days time as all three cities are not only very close together, but vastly different.
We knew we wanted to end the trip with Delhi, so we immediately landed and headed straight to Agra to visit the Taj Mahal, and tried to get there before sunrise to avoid the crowds.
The Taj Mahal is just one of those sights that you can't really believe you are looking at, something you see 1,000 times in pictures and movies your entire life. As we arrived early enough, the entire site was void of crowds and covered in a layer of mist and fog. It was incredible to watch this amazing building emerge from the fog into all its glory as the sun broke. Take your time, explore the area from all angles and take the time to just sit down and stare at one of the most amazing buildings ever built.
Remember: No camera tripods are allowed in, so make sure to check them at the entrance building before going in. You'll have to check your backpacks as well.
One your way out of the Taj, walking down the street towards the entrance, just passed the Oberoi Villas is a hotel called "Taj Spice" which you cannot miss. Without any of the expense or fuss of such a fancy hotel, you can easily get up to their amazing rooftop cafe and sit outside while enjoying the same beautiful view people pay thousands for at the Oberoi. Their food is delicious and beer cold - and cheap!
Check out our full 48 Hours in India itinerary on TripVerse for more detailed information on this and all the places we visited and recommend!
On our way out of town, we stopped at the beautiful Agra Fort, which would easily the be the most stunning site in Agra if it weren't for the Taj Mahal. It is well worth the visit and a fraction of the price of the Taj. ($1 instead of $10)
As soon as we wrapped up at the Agra Fort and the sun was setting it was on to Jaipur! We raced against the clock to make the 4-hour drive before it got to late and arrived at our hotel around 9 pm. A quick meal and we were off to sleep. We were exhausted but loving the adventure!
No 48 hours trip to India should be without a visit to Jaipur if you are anywhere close. It might just be my favorite city in India. There is just something different about being in Rajasthan, the Pink City, as it is called.
There is enough to fill 48 hours alone in Jaipur, but we really only had part of a day so we did all the exploring in the time we had and saw a ton! First, it was off to the old part of the city to visit the Jaipur Palace, one of the coolest and most detailed palaces we've ever seen. Make sure to make your way back to the hidden chamber with detailed and ornately decorated doorways honoring the four seasons. Make sure to have your camera ready, they are made for Instagram!
Heading out of Jaipur, stop and visit the Floating Palace and the Elephant Village. We weren't interested in paying to ride or wash the elephants, just wanted to see them. If you drive down the road from the Elephant place, there is an actual village where each family cares for 2-3 elephants and this is really cool to see. Huge elephants and people living in harmony is a wonderful thing.
Jumping back in the car with Prakash, we headed directly to the Amer (or Amber) Fort, which is one of the most amazing places we have ever seen that we never knew existed! TripVerse said we should make the trek all the way up the stairs to the top and thank god we did. The Amer Fort is SUCH an amazing place to explore and I am shocked we'd never heard of it before.
We could have gotten lost here for hours, so make sure you take the time to just wander through the hidden hallways and secret...

You guys are my favourite travel channel. Keep up the great work!
"Endless sea of humanity", probably the best way to describe India, by far.
Ashwin S haha thanks so much! India is a completely different planet!
I love my India
Awesome.... come back to India... 2 month challenge
This is awesome! I will use this when I go to India this year!
Kelley Ferro woohoo, thanks - glad you like it and hope it's helpful!
India is beautiful, and got lots to explore, lots of stuff to do..you should absolutely go visit
+What Doesn't Suck? hiii
It's been 2 years. Was you in India?
Great
This is so awesome! Such great energy!! Also... must say it again-- I'm Team Backpack. LOL
OneikaTraveller ahahahaha YES!!
Great edit and commentary. Any particular reason for doing the Golden Triangle in such a short period of time? I've never heard of anyone doing that before.
Thanks! Yea - we live in Dubai and get a lot of 3 day holiday weekends so get away whenever we can. Since we work full-time jobs we have to use the little time we have wisely. Not the best but if planned right, it is amazing how much you can see. Hopefully inspring other people to get out there too!
Ah okay makes sense. Live it up!
Thank you so much for the support! It's kind hearted people like you we make these for!
+What Doesn't Suck? Nice video. Please ingnore such comments. There are few Pakistanis pretend to be Indians. They are jealous of India because foreigners normally do not visit Pakistan because it's a terrorist country. 😊
We have travelled Delhi to agra via vrindavan in just 36 hour that was really fun

Glad you like it! Video is incredible - you've got to get there and explore - and hopefully for longer than a weekend!
Awesome, but you did miss some amazing sites like:
1. Fatehpur Sikri near Agra
2. Chand Baori Stepwell - 100 km from Fatehpur Sikri and on Jaipur route
3. Red Fort in Delhi
4. Lotus Temple in Delhi
And... checkout Kumbhalgarh Fort, as that has the longest wall in India, and after the china one.
myy cityyyyyyyy
This is one of the best vlogs. You guys are amazing. Wow
I will try to follow this for my trip
Thanks so much Dave! Sounds like you're insane just like we are. Good luck!
You guys got it made, the cinematography, the editing, the audio - everything is superb. Keep going! I'm excited to see where you two end up next. I've subscribed!!
Thanks so much! We're just back from Egypt last weekend and off to Iceland tonight, so hopefully some more fun videos to come!
You guys are the cuttest couples i have ever seen
You gotta visit the golden temple
Nice short and sweet video. Thanks for choosing golden triangle
We can't wait to come back! Where should we go to next in India?
@@WhatDoesntSuck there are tons of places to visit in India :) even a month is not sufficient ..for example in delhi itself you missed many major tourist places lile India Gate and Qutub minar ... would suggest you to try jodhpur and jaisalmer in rajasthan if you like forts and palaces ... if you like street food then mumbai is the place to visit ... and if you like chill beaches and swimming and some old churches then Goa is the best place to visit ... and of course there are numerous other places to visit in India depending on what you really prefer to travel to :) .. please do come again ..lots of love
@@techtonicdiaries8699 Absolutely! SO much more to come back and explore - hopefully soon!
Another great video guys! 👍
Shelley thanks Shelley!!!

@@SweetSourTravel Amazing!
I went to India last month and im having withdrawals now 😭😭😭
Glad you had a good time!
May i ask why you guys only choose to stay for 48 hrs?
Rachel of course! We live and work full time in Dubai and can usually only travel for a weekend at a time. We try to use each trip to get people inspired and excited to travel themselves and to show how much can be experienced, even in just a weekend.
Thanks so much for this video. I want to take my son in February
Awesome! Let us know if you have any more questions! We're here to help! Where all will you be going?
Good video as always, loving the regular uploads 😀😀
Thanks! We'll keep em coming.
Hi guys, love your trip. How much did this trip cost you??
this is what i was looking for! this is awesome!
Jesus, I’ll be in India for 2 weeks and I was fretting about having enough time to see the sights in the golden triangle. But this little time is just not giving such a wondrous place enough.
visit akshardham temple incredibly good
Great stuff!
I love the chemistry you guys have, and your editing style! It's so fast paced, yet informative and fun! Do you guys research your places ahead of time to be able to retell it to us all? :)
Thaaanks! We do a bit of research and try to find the most interesting and unique things to mention in the places we are going, but mostly just show up and see what happens!
Leave for New Delhi on Monday. Great video :)
My god I love your videos! This such a nice summary of what you've done, so much energy in the videos (if you know what I mean) and two crazy people! Great work, entertains me.
Dieter Fischer thanks so much man! So glad we're at least a little bit entertaining!
You should do a Dubai Meetup 😊☕️

Hi Martin - sorry we've just seen this! We edit our videos on a MacBook Air using FCPX
Great video Guys loved the edits and commentary

Really cool, guys. I just went for 48h in Beirute and your video gave me a lot of tips about the city. Keep the good (and funny) work.
Danilo Rodrigues amazing! So happy we could help and you had a great time!

Hi Guys, when will your new Iceland video be up? Can't wait to see it. From the pic it looked amazing. It's a dream of mine to see the northern lights 🤘
Shelley hi! We're just busy editing it now and it should be up in a few weeks! Yes, the lights were incredible!!
I liked the video, did you see much poverty? Was it clean?
Thanks! India is a land of extremes - both extreme beauty and extreme poverty. Yes, you will see both - the most beautiful nature, contrasted with other not so clean areas.
The golden triangle is a perfect choice to explore the northern side of India. I have an experience Bhatitours is the best travel agency in india. than you can contact the Bhatitours
Please visit my state kerala

IcelandicRetard69 here now through New Years!

Just wanted to ask if its safe to travel there for girls?
I think it's hard to tell since Anne and I always travel together, but we felt more than safe the entire time we were there.
dont worry ,India is safe
Safe.....but if you are visiting some seclused places plz inform nearest police station before.......
Nop the gives such a wired looks to forigners this itself will make you un comfortable 😓specially when they sees alone female who don't know indian language better have a guide then its fully safe
Wow you guys did a lot more than I did in one week there! Check my Delhi, Agra, and Jaipur Vlog here: ruclips.net/video/lgSSCz2wlGc/видео.html
