Hey!
Hi
Seems realistic. We had ten days in Sri Lanka and had time to see everything we wanted to. And while I've not yet been to India, when I researched it I figured on the golden triangle in about a week. But it does depend on your pace of travel.
Hi,
Delhi - 3 Days (Been there 4 Times)
Agra - 4 Days (3 Times)
Jaipur- 4 Days (2 or 3 can't recollect)
This can be coverd in lesser days, it depends on you.
Delhi- (GET A MAP)
Backpackers Area - Paharganj
Take Prepaid taxi from the Airport or METRO to Paharganj & don't take the 3 wheeler Taxi or other
taxi since they might Charge you more (Ask anybody for help if you need any)
Shopping & Food - Connaught Place
Sight Seeing - http://goindia.about.com/od/cities/tp/top-delhi-attractions.htm
Try North India food like Aloo ka pratha, Paneer batter masala etc.
Transportation within the City -
If you want to travel within the city to see the attraction, You should opt for
Metro since it's fast & connecting & when you enter the Metro move to the ladies side for
comfortability.
if you are using Rickshaw, than alway pay by meter & they have card from which they get the exact fare.
Transportation to AGRA
Agra is not very far from Delhi (4-5 Hours) thus there are too many Bus/Private cars available from
poor to best depends who comfortably you want to travel. Advise you not to take the train cos the stations is over croweded & chaotic (for a foreigner).
Site - http://www.redbus.in/ (Volvo A/C buses available with luggage cabins)
P.s - Please avoide public bus since it's gets very crowded & you might not fit in with the luggage.

Agra-
http://www.virtualtourist.com/travel/Asia/India/State_of_Uttar_Pradesh/Agra-1104554/Things_To_Do-
Agra-TG-C-1.html
Backpackers Area -
Fatehabad Rd. Sadar Bazaar, Taj Ganj
Transportation to these places applies the same as Delhi..
Shopping & Food-
You will find many art emporium, sales while you are traveling (Try & Bargain most of the time)
Transportation within the City -
3 wheeler Taxi etc
Fathepur Sikri- Better not to take an organised tour as you will not have enough time to explore the area, but i suggest that you take a bus from the Idgah bus stand in Agra, and the journey will take 75 minutes and cost around 20-30 Rps. Buses depart every 30 minutes from 7am-7pm, and of course the last one back is also at 7pm. Make sure you get a smaller bus that goes to Fatahpur Sikre town as the larger ones that go to Bharatpur will drop you off a kilometer from the entrance.

Jaipur
http://goindia.about.com/od/cities/tp/jaipur-attractions.htm
Backpackers Area/Budget Hotel -
Hotels - Pearl Palace, Arya Niwas, Umaid Bhawan (You can get the address online or please do little more research on this, little knowledge)
Best Forum - http://www.indiamike.com/
Transportation within the City - Same as above
Also try new modes of transportation like camel cart, cycle rickshaw etc.
It's going to be colour full & amazing & this time of the year the summer would start, so it might be somewhere 24 to 30 Degree.

I hope you fly to Kerala and then to Colombo (instead of trains). You will loose a lot of time while in the train.
