What is the Golden Triangle?

The Golden Triangle is a theoretical triangular path that a visitor can follow to get a glance into one of the most interesting traveler circuits in the country. It comprises 3 impressive cities-- Delhi, Agra and Jaipur. Apart from showcasing the history, culture and food of this part of the country, the Golden Triangle is a glimpse of ambition equating into the rise of a city; love spelt out as a structure; and the structure of a kingdom where grandeur is a normal word.

What is the perfect time to prepare a Golden Triangle trip?

We recommend you to do this circuit when the weather is favorable to take a trip. The finest time to check out North India is in the cold weather. Mid-October to mid-April is when being out in the North Indian sun is actually a pleasure; but if you are sensitive to extreme cold, then the last 2 weeks of December till the middle of January are best prevented. Considering that winter seasons are up season for North India, accommodation will be pricey, however you could schedule your flights beforehand to cut down on travel costs.

Top of the triangle - Delhi

Delhi is a city where conquerors reoccurred- staying long enough to leave in it unique tones of civilizations that are now extinct. A cauldron of cultures, lives and flavours, Delhi is a location in its own right. You can spend week’s here- and not have seen enough. A bulk of Golden Triangle tours come from the capital, mainly because of the global airport. You can begin the triangle by going south to Agra, or west to Jaipur.

Top things to do in Delhi

With a list of places to see that is longer than those of a great deal of other cities integrated, Delhi never cannot impress. Even with crowded roadways and chaotic market locations, Delhi with its tourist destinations dotted throughout the city map is addicting. It is the rate, beauty, and intrigue of Delhi that makes it exactly what it is. 2 forts of astonishing measurements-- the Red Fort and the Purana Qila; the Qutub Minar-a post card routine; Emperor Humayun's Tomb; the Jama Masjid and its appealing by lanes; Chandni Chowk and the parallel culture of the area; Nizamuddin's Dargah; the iconic India Gate-are all here for your watching pleasure. Other sights to experience consist of the Lotus Temple, Gurudwara Bangla Sahib, the Lodhi Gardens, Jantar Mantar, Rashtrapati Bhavan and a host of museums that might keep you busy for days.

Head south to Agra

Agra- a dream sculpted out by Emperors; a place which has been taken over by the romance that a single structure radiates; an area which goes back centuries in its culinary history - a city of love. A besotted Emperor dedicates a monument to his other half-- of a kind that comes along as soon as in centuries. The aura of the Taj Mahal is such that it has taken control of creativities, drawn crowds towards it in numbers that are inconceivable, and lent its identity to the nation.

Top things to do in Agra

The Mughal legacy in Agra is all pervasive-it starts at its tourist spots, runs deep into its menus and appears ever so typically in its modern architecture and five-star service. This juxtaposition of ages is the beauty of Agra. Any Agra list will begin with the Taj Mahal, and really frequently end with it. But Agra is this culturally studded city whose gems have been eclipsed by the most well-known structure in the country, perhaps even in the world. Stay on in Agra after you view the Taj and surprise yourself with the remainder of the list. Visit the Agra Fort-- get an eyeful of the Taj from the poignant Musamman Burj; take a field trip to Akbar's stunning tomb at Sikandra and the tomb of his wife Mariam-uz-Zamani nearby; visit his abandoned city at Fatehpur Sikri with its magnificent Buland Darwaza among other architectural delights; view the Taj Mahal in moonlight from the aptly named Mehtab Bagh; inspect out the tomb of Itimad-ud-Daulah. Break for a meal-- experiment with Agra's famous 5 star hospitality or its street fare which represents the crash of cultures it emerges from-- both highly recommended.

Travel west to Jaipur, The Pink City

Jaipur is a gateway to the royal state of Rajasthan- a city of grand palaces, magnificent forts, and temples built on centuries of conviction. Jaipur showcases Rajput and Mughal architecture as only a flamboyant Rajasthani city can. Though Jaipur is not as pink as its beautiful name seems to suggest, the islands of spectacular ancient architecture that rise from swirls of chaotic city traffic deserve every mile took a trip to reach here.

Leading things to do in Jaipur

Jaipur's City Palace in the centre of the city is still house to the erstwhile royals, though parts of it have actually been opened to the general public as museums. There is the astronomic observatory - the Jantar Mantar - from where the paradises have actually been contemplated since the 18th century. The Hawa Mahal looms big, bang in the middle of Jaipur. In a city riddled with palaces, this one sticks out for its permeable design. A mesh of many windows; the Hawa Mahal was built for the secret viewing satisfaction of royal girls. Then there is the Amber Fort, perhaps the grandest of Jaipur's destinations. Right outside the city is the imposing fort, situated high on a hill, overlooking a lake. Likewise visit Nahargarh Fort, Jal Mahal, the Rambagh Palace Hotel and Jaigarh Fort.
