A Golden Triangle Tour comprises of going across three cities in Northern India that boast of a most rich heritage. The holiday starts off from Delhi and then moves onwards towards Agra, then Jaipur and finishes on return to Delhi.

All three of these cities display their heritage in the form of architectural masterpieces. The grandeur and majesty of these monuments can still be felt on visiting them and they will surely take your breath away.

Golden Triangle Tours are not only about sightseeing but also experiencing the colorful and vibrant culture of these cities. Though, separated by only a few kilometers, each of these 3 cities sports a different diverse culture that is captivating and enthralling. A tour across these 3 cities will definitely be a treat for your senses.

Delhi

The India Golden Triangle tour fittingly starts at the capital – Delhi. It has continually been a capital for 7 different dynasties and one can see historical elements that date back to the 4th century BC! Seeing the architecture of the Rajputs, Sultans, Mughals and the more contemporary additions of the British is like seeing history unfold before your very eyes.

Apart from the architecture, Delhi has an integrated culture in which one can see old traditions, practices, cuisine blend in with the modern. One can enjoy Sufi Qawwali at the Nizzamudin Dargah, a tradition that has carried on for centuries and also enjoy a good session of retail therapy at the numerous malls, complexes, markets and bazaars scattered around the city.

Agra

Agra is the ‘wondrous’ element of the Golden Triangle holiday. Without doubt, the architectural delight of Agra would be the Taj Mahal, one of the Seven Wonders of the World. However it also houses numerous other fine examples of Mughal architecture that are as intricately made.

The culture still has various elements of old still extant among its modern citizenry. The cuisine though typically North Indian is famous for its particular type of sweetmeats. These sweetmeats called ‘pedas’ are sold across the city at various stores.

Jaipur

The culmination of your Golden Triangle Tour Packages will be at the city of Jaipur. It has been a very important Rajput city since the late 17th century. Numerous palaces, mahals and forts are scattered across the city all made in the unique style of late Rajput architecture.

Similarly, even the culture, traditions and cuisine are markedly different from those seen in the previous two cities. The culture and cuisine have developed to suit the desert lifestyle and prove to be very enjoyable and entertaining.
