Golden Triangle + Kerala — 14 Days

Overview

## Golden Triangle + Kerala — 14 Days This itinerary pairs India's most iconic northern circuit with the lush, laid-back landscapes of the south, delivering two distinct travel experiences in a single two-week journey. You'll open in **Delhi** — a sensory immersion in Mughal grandeur and colonial history — before heading south to **Agra** and the unforgettable Taj Mahal. **Jaipur** rounds out the Golden Triangle with its flame-colored palaces and vibrant bazaars. A short flight then bridges north and south, landing you in **Kochi**, where Portuguese-Dutch-British layers sit comfortably beside ancient spice-trading lanes and a thriving arts scene. From there, the pace deliberately slows: drift through the serene backwater canals of **Alleppey** on a traditional houseboat, before unwinding on the Arabian Sea shores at **Kovalam**. This trip suits independent travellers who want cultural depth alongside genuine relaxation. The pace balances two to three nights per stop — never rushed, never static. **October through March** offers the most reliable weather across both regions, with cool northern winters and post-monsoon greenery in Kerala at its peak.
