Best Time to Visit India
The best time for a family trip to the Golden Triangle is from October to March. During these months, the weather is pleasantly cool, making it ideal for outdoor sightseeing and walking with children. Avoid the summer months (April to June) when temperatures can exceed 40°C (104°F), which can be very taxing for kids.
Currency & Money
The local currency is the Indian Rupee (INR). While major hotels and restaurants in Delhi, Agra, and Jaipur accept international credit cards, it is essential to carry cash for small purchases, street food, and tips. Tipping is customary in India; a 10% tip at restaurants and small amounts for porters and drivers are widely appreciated.
Getting Around India
For intercity travel, the Gatiman Express train between Delhi and Agra is highly recommended for its speed and cleanliness. Between Agra and Jaipur, a private car rental (like Savaari) is the most convenient option for families, offering door-to-door service. Within cities, App-based services like Uber and Ola are reliable and offer 'Uber Intercity' or 'Uber Rentals' for a hassle-free experience.
