NRI and Roots Golden Triangle Tours

Experience My India plans Golden Triangle trips for NRI and diaspora families in four formats: roots journeys built to show India to children raised abroad, multi-generation family reunions, short 3 day add-ons carved out of a longer family visit, and trips where you host non-Indian guests. Prices start at Rs 30,000 per person (4 star, twin sharing) for the 3 day add-on, and every quote handles the thing generic packages ignore: a single family travelling on three different passports. You know India. That is exactly why planning this trip is strange. You do not need a tour of India; you need someone to run the logistics while you do the part only you can do, which is stand at the Taj Mahal and tell your daughter that her grandmother grew up two hours from here. This hub explains the four trip shapes we run, the passport and fee mechanics no competitor page prints, and which format fits your situation, honestly, including when the answer is a cheaper page on this site.

This is the part every NRI family asks about on WhatsApp and no package page answers, so here it is: Traveller: Indian passport (grandparents, relatives joining) — Taj Mahal entry: Rs 50 — Full-circuit monument cost: about Rs 245 — Visa position: none needed Traveller: OCI cardholder (you, most likely) — Taj Mahal entry: Rs 50, Indian rate, carry the card — Full-circuit monument cost: about Rs 245 — Visa position: OCI card is the entry document Traveller: Foreign passport, no OCI (often your children or spouse) — Taj Mahal entry: Rs 1,100 — Full-circuit monument cost: about Rs 2,910 — Visa position: e-visa or OCI required before travel Traveller: Any child under 15 — Taj Mahal entry: free at the Taj Mahal — Full-circuit monument cost: reduced accordingly — Visa position: still needs the visa or OCI Three honest notes on that table. First, carry the physical OCI card; the Indian rate is claimed at the ticket window, and we brief you on which window. Second, the under-15 free entry at the Taj applies to foreign-passport children too, which materially cuts the cost of a roots trip for young families. Third, monument rules change without much notice, so we re-verify every fee at booking rather than promising this table is eternal. The billing consequence: we invoice each traveller at their correct rate instead of averaging the family. A mixed-passport family of five should not be paying five foreigner tickets, and with us it does not.

Sample shape, so you can feel the pacing before opening a spoke: Day 1, Delhi, land, recover, one gentle evening outing. Day 2, drive to Agra, Agra Fort, Mehtab Bagh sunset. Day 3, Taj Mahal at sunrise (never a Friday; it is closed to tourists), on to Jaipur. Days 4 to 5 where the format includes them, Amber Fort by jeep, City Palace, bazaars, and the unhurried afternoon that makes the trip feel like a homecoming instead of a checklist. Every spoke page carries its full day-by-day itinerary, and every spoke shows what is included and what is not included with equal weight, from monument tickets to the tips that are excluded everywhere.

Private air-conditioned vehicle with driver, 4 or 5 star hotels per your tier, daily breakfast, licensed guides in Agra and Jaipur, monument tickets pre-booked at each traveller's correct rate, and one WhatsApp thread with a single coordinator that works on your home-country number before you land. Not included anywhere: lunches and dinners (eat with your family, that is the trip), visa or OCI processing fees, tips, travel insurance, and the Rs 200 Taj mausoleum inner chamber unless requested. Full lists sit on each spoke page. Pricing follows the same transparent basis across the cluster: Rs 10,000 per person per day at the 4 star tier and Rs 15,000 at 5 star, twin sharing, with a 20 percent service margin and 5 percent GST already inside, children under 5 free and ages 5 to 11 at half. So the 3 day add-on starts at Rs 30,000 per person, the 4 day hosting format at Rs 40,000, and the 5 day roots journey at Rs 50,000, with each traveller's monument component billed by passport as above.
