India Itinerary for 2 weeks and 3 weeks

India is far too vast, diverse, and complex to be explored in a single trip. You would need months to fully appreciate the fascinating fusion of topographies, colors, flavors, and cultures. Unfortunately, we are all constrained by time and money and can only splurge so much on our travels. Planning an India itinerary with limited time is always challenging. In a span of a few weeks, you would only be able to scratch the surface of what India has to offer. 

I’ve tried to put together a fantastic 2-week and 3-week itinerary that will allow you to experience the essence of India. Many people prefer to stay in one region, but if you are visiting India for the first time and want to see the major highlights, this itinerary is for you. If you fall in love with this vibrant country, you can keep coming back to discover more.

A trip to India can be crazy, frustrating, and overwhelming. However, if you set your fears and prejudices aside and follow these travel tips, you will have an incredible adventure in this spectacular country.

2-Week Itinerary for India

Day 1-2: Delhi

Given its excellent connections to the rest of the world, Delhi is the perfect place to begin your Indian trip. Historic sites like the Red Fort, Qutub Minar, and Humayun’s Tomb are scattered throughout the capital city. The bustling metropolis is also known for its modern wonders such as Parliament House, Rashtrapati Bhavan, Lotus Temple, and India Gate. Try to explore the abundant green spaces, visit the iconic Delhi markets, and savor the delectable food. Take a rickshaw ride through the narrow, winding lanes of Chandni Chowk to experience the rustic, old-world charm of Delhi’s oldest market. The Delhi Metro is very comfortable and well-connected and will take you to most parts of the sprawling city. Uber, Ola, taxis, and private cars are all affordable and easily available.

Best Places to Visit: Red Fort, Jama Masjid, Qutub Minar, Humayun’s Tomb, Akshardham, Parliament House, Raj Ghat, Lotus Temple, Rashtrapati Bhavan, India Gate, Lodhi Gardens, Chandni Chowk.

Day 3: Agra

We’ll depart from Delhi today and travel early in the morning to Agra. You can commute from Agra by bus, train, or car. The Shatabadi Express departs Delhi around 6 a.m. and arrives in Agra in 2 hours. You cannot visit India and not see the Taj Mahal. The magnificent mausoleum is a sight to behold and will live up to your expectations. Nothing beats the allure of admiring the incredible masterpiece during sunset…
