Taj & Beach: History in Agra then Chill Time in Goa
This 10 day India itinerary combines time in Agra with a longer stay in Goa, balancing iconic cultural highlights with space to slow down by the coast. It’s ideal for travellers looking for a simpler, more relaxed take on India.
The journey moves from the intensity and grandeur of Agra into the easier rhythm of Goa, where the focus shifts from sightseeing to beach time, atmosphere and days shaped more by pace than plans.
The itinerary below is shown as an example route. Every journey we create is planned from scratch and can be shaped entirely around you — unless you like it exactly as it is.
- Day 1 - Overnight Flight
Your relaxed India trip begins with an overnight flight to the country's capital - Delhi.

- Day 3 - Agra
