Golden Triangle Tour
Glittering destinations…
Delhi-Agra-Jaipur. Three cities with a striking mark of individuality but intertwined in threads of time, down the annals of history. Each standing firm in its solid foundation of ancientness and moving forward in time. Popularly known as the Golden Triangle, the attractions of Delhi, Agra and Jaipur have beckoned travelers from other lands for centuries. Over the years the Delhi-Agra-Jaipur circuit has made a firm footing on the tourist map of the world.
The Golden Triangle is one of the best-loved tourist destinations of the world. It is rather a small triangle - not even 250 km from point to point, and is most conveniently connected by surface. The combination of all the three cities presents the potpourri of India. The harmonious amalgamation of the capital of the country with its entire historic splendor, the soft romanticism that can felt at amazing Agra and the fierce magnificence of the Rajasthan desert presents India at its best.
A hot tourist package, the Golden Triangle circuit caters to various sections of the tourists. The culture, cuisines, customs, costumes are all captivating in their own way. The tour is not just trotting from one Indian city to another or a mere travel to Delhi, Agra and Jaipur. The aim is to bring out the best of all that India that to offer. Though it is quiet impossible to view all the hues of India and its rich heritage. The three destinations in their own way present just three different shades of the wide spectrum that India displays.
Capitally attractive Delhi
Travel to Delhi, the world's largest democracy. A city that defies a one-line description. Delhi is India in miniature, its show window. A city of contrast, Delhi is one of the oldest cities in the world and presently one of the most progressive. A city of contrasts with a unique blend of ancient and modern.
Over the millennia, it has wooed rulers, attracted plunderers, and tried historians with so many details. Today, even as it preserves an enviable heritage, Delhi in every sense is a true cosmopolitan city always on the move. It has brought within its fold people of all ethnic groups and their traditions and culture, reflected in a variety of arts, crafts, cuisines, festivals and lifestyles.
Dedicated to love - Agra
Famous for the Taj Mahal, Agra is an historic city in the northern Indian state of Uttar Pradesh. Situated around 204 km south of Delhi, this amazing city is a part of the great northern plains and is situated on the west bank of river the Yamuna. In the great epic Mahabharat, the region of Agra is described as Agraban (an integral part of the Brij Bhumi or the land of Lord Krishna).
Agra is a place of tourists' delight. Home to many attractions for travelers, the city is peppered with historical monuments dating back to the 16th and 17th century. Beside its monumental richness, the city is internationally famed for its Mughlai cuisine and souvenirs from the wide range of marble and leather items. Pick up a replica of the Taj made from a stone called Talk or get photographed with the reflection of the Taj in the pool as the backdrop.
In the Pink of Royalty - Jaipur
Also known as the Pink City, Jaipur, the capital of Rajasthan is one of the most vibrant and colourful cities in India. Famous for its colourful culture, forts, palaces, and lakes, the city basks in the glory of a rich and eventful past. Jaipur is a planned city which is made all the more attractive by the pink wash that most buildings are periodically given. Houses with latticed windows line the streets with their rose pink colour, lending enchantment to the scene, which is almost magical at sunset. Surrounded on all sides by rugged hills and enclosed by embattled walls, Jaipur was and remains the only city in the world symbolising the nine divisions of the universe, through nine rectangular sectors sub-dividing it.
Magnificent Jaipur will not fail to mesmerize you. City Palace, Hawa Mahal, Amber Fort and the Jal Mahal tops the list of must visit palaces at Jaipur. The architecture of splendid palaces of the Maharajas of the bygone eras tells the tale of the chivalry, tragedy and romance.
