FAQ — Golden Triangle Tour

What is the best time to visit the Golden Triangle?
The best time to visit the Golden Triangle is from October to March when the weather is pleasant and ideal for sightseeing. The temperatures range from 10°C to 25°C. Avoid visiting during the peak summer months (April–June) when temperatures can exceed 45°C. The monsoon season (July–September) brings rain but fewer crowds.

We use well-maintained, air-conditioned private vehicles. For 1-3 travellers, we provide a Sedan (Toyota Etios / Honda Amaze). For 4-6 travellers, an SUV (Toyota Innova Crysta). For larger groups, a Tempo Traveller (12-seater) or Mini Bus. Luxury vehicles like Mercedes or BMW are available on request.

Most foreign nationals require a visa to enter India. India offers an e-Visa facility for citizens of 160+ countries, which can be applied online. The e-Tourist Visa is valid for 30 days / 1 year / 5 years. We recommend applying at least 2 weeks before your travel date.
What should I pack for the Golden Triangle Tour?
