In you are looking forward to plan your next holidays in India and want to experience the whole of the country, then you should start with the famous Golden triangle trip. The Golden Triangle Itinerary comprises of three cities Delhi (the political capital of India), Jaipur (the Pink City) and Agra (home of the wondrous Taj Mahal). These three cities are well connected by good roads and an excellent railway network. All the three cities have a tremendous wealth of historical and cultural majesty, and hence this triangle has been aptly named as Golden. This tour package is full of fun, energy and inspiration which will leave you overwhelmed by the time the tour will reach to its end.
Delhi lies at the top of this golden triangle. The capital of India has seen the rise and fall of many kings especially the Mughals. It was also the final capital of the British Empire. The city can be experienced in two parts, one part of the time when the Mughals ruled the city and the other part which was the territory of the Britishers. Both the eras have left prominent footprints on the whole structure of Delhi. Start the tour of the city from Old Delhi which comprises of the Jama Masjid (Indias largest mosque), Red Fort, and Raj Ghat and not to miss the hustling bustling bazaar of Chandni Chowk. Then proceed towards the other part of the city which houses the Qutub Minar, President House, Lotus Temple and many more places of tourist attraction. There are plenty of museums in the city which tell you about the unmatchable story of Delhi.
Jaipur, the capital city of the desert state Rajasthan is the next destination of the golden triangle. Widely known as the Pink City, Jaipur is famous for its majestic forts, beautifully laid out gardens and parks and attractive heritage hotels, the pink colour gives a romantic aura to the whole city. It was the first planned city of India founded by Maharaja Sawai Jai Sing II in 1727. Amber Fort, the City Palace, Hawa Mahal, Jantar Mantar (Observatory) and the vibrant people will made your trip to the pink city very memorable.
The last destination on the Golden triangle itinerary is Agra home to the world famous Taj Mahal. Built by the Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan for his beloved wife Mumtaz Mahal is the ultimate epitome of love. Fatehpur Sikri, the red sandstone city was once a capital of Mughals but was later deserted due to scarcity of water. Agra Fort is another place to visit; the rusty and majestic red-sandstone fort stands on the banks of the river Yamuna and was built by the third mughal emperor Akbar in 1566. One must visit the Buland Darwaza, which is the largest gateway in the world.
