The Golden Triangle Tour

The Golden Triangle Tour is one of the most popular travel routes in India, and for good reason. This tour takes you through three of the most historic and culturally significant cities in North India – Delhi, Agra, and Jaipur. Each city has its own unique charm and attractions, making the Golden Triangle Tour an ideal way to experience the diversity and richness of India’s cultural heritage.

 

Delhi

The tour starts in Delhi, the capital city of India. Delhi is a bustling metropolis that is a blend of ancient history and modernity. It has something to offer for everyone – from the magnificent Red Fort to the vibrant markets of Chandni Chowk, from the serene Lotus Temple to the majestic India Gate.

 

One of the must-see attractions in Delhi is the Qutub Minar, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This towering minaret is a masterpiece of Mughal architecture and is surrounded by beautiful gardens. Another iconic landmark of Delhi is the Red Fort, a 17th-century fortress that served as the residence of Mughal emperors for nearly 200 years.

 

Delhi is also known for its street food, which is a culinary delight for food lovers. Some of the must-try dishes include the spicy chaat, kebabs, and the famous butter chicken.

 

Agra

The next stop on the Golden Triangle Tour is Agra, home to one of the Seven Wonders of the World – the Taj Mahal. This exquisite marble mausoleum was built by Emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his beloved wife, Mumtaz Mahal, and is a testament to the eternal love between the two.

 

Apart from the Taj Mahal, Agra is also known for its rich cultural heritage. The Agra Fort, another UNESCO World Heritage Site, is a magnificent red sandstone fortress that was once the seat of Mughal power. The fort contains many palaces, mosques, and courtyards, each with its own unique architectural style.

 

Another interesting attraction in Agra is the Tomb of Itimad-ud-Daulah, also known as the “Baby Taj.” This exquisite tomb is often referred to as a draft of the Taj Mahal, as it served as an inspiration for the design of the Taj Mahal.

 

Jaipur

The final stop on the Golden Triangle Tour is Jaipur, also known as the “Pink City.” Jaipur is the capital city of Rajasthan and is renowned for its rich cultural heritage and stunning architecture.

 

One of the most iconic attractions in Jaipur is the Hawa Mahal, a stunning five-story palace that was built in 1799. Its unique design, with 953 small windows or jharokhas, allows for a cooling breeze to flow through the palace, giving it its name “Palace of Winds.”

 

Another must-visit attraction in Jaipur is the Amer Fort, a magnificent fortress that was built in the 16th century. The fort is located on a hilltop and offers stunning views of the surrounding landscape. Visitors can also take an elephant ride up to the fort for a truly memorable experience.

 

Jaipur is also known for its handicrafts, including textiles, pottery, and jewelry. The city is home to many markets and bazaars where visitors can shop for unique souvenirs to take back home.

 

Conclusion

The Golden Triangle Tour is a great way to experience the rich cultural heritage of North India. From the bustling markets of Delhi to the exquisite marble mausoleum of the Taj Mahal in Agra and the stunning architecture of Jaipur, this tour has something for everyone.

Tour Plan

1

Day: 01 Delhi – Agra (By road 201 km in 4 hr)

Start for Agra early in the morning after breakfast. Reach and check in at hotel. AGRA: Two great Mughal monarchs, Akbar and Shah Jahan, transformed the little village of Agra into a befitting second capital of the Mughal Empire - giving it the name Dar-ul-Khilafat {seat of the Emperor}. Today a visitor to Agra is caught up in a world of contrasting edifices, of red sandstone and white marble, narrow galleys and quaint buggies, and that irresistible charm that this favorite city of the Mughals still retains. It is not surprising, that modern Agra still reflects its Mughal heritage most conspicuously. A walk down the narrow bustling streets of the city will introduce the visitor to the wafting aroma of Mughlai cuisine. TAJ MAHAL: Little needs to be said about this architectural wonder which is always the soul raison-de-etre for every tourist's visit to Agra. Built by Shah Jahan, the Taj is a white marble memorial to his beautiful wife Mumtaz Mahal. This monument took 22 years to be completed and was designed, and planned by Persian architect Ustad Isa. Apart from its stunning design balance and perfect symmetry, the Taj is also noted particularly for its elegant domes, intricately carved screens and some of the best inlay work ever seen. Proceed for visit to the Taj Mahal, Agra Fort and Itmadullah’s Tomb . Enjoy battery van ride. Return to hotel and relax in the evening. Overnight stay at Agra.

Day: 02 Agra – Jaipur (By Road in 6 hrs.)

Breakfast will be at hotel. Drive to Fatehpur Sikri. The deserted, red Sandstone City, Emperor Akbar built that as his capital and palace in the late 16th century is an exhilarating experience. It a veritable fairytale city and its "ruins" are in pristine condition ... it's not hard to imagine what the court life must have been like in the days of its grandeur. Also visit the Bulund Darwaza, the largest gateway in the world. Reach Jaipur and check in at hotel. Jaipur is the capital of the state of Rajasthan a romantic realm of resplendent palaces, mighty fortresses and regal Maharajahs that lies in the western deserts and is an utterly unique part of India. Proudly belonging to the KSHATRIYA warrior caste and fiercely independent, the Rajput princes made fearsome foes. However, many of them realized that to maintain their wealth and authority locally, it was expedient to proclaim allegiance to the central power. Thus, many enjoyed a privileged position under the Mughal emperors and also the British Raj that followed. The bustling Rajasthan capital of Jaipur takes its name from its venerated founder Jai Singh II, who was given the title Sawai Maharaja by the Mughal. Literally translated this would mean ’one and a quarter’, suggesting that the Mughal thought this emperor to be more valuable than just ‘one’. Jaipur is known as the ’Pink City’ on account of the distinctive colour of its buildings. This did not, however, form part of the original plan, but dates back to 1856, when the city was given a wash of pink in honor of a State Visit from Prince Albert. This evening, visit the Birla Temple to learn more about the fascinating religious life of Jaipur. The marble structure, built as recently as 1985, houses ornate statues including one of Lakshmi (goddess of Wealth and Beauty) and Narayan dressed in gaudy robes, representing a Hindu vision of heavenly luxury. Carvings in the temple and on pillars supporting the covered walkways include images of the Hindu pantheon, as well as Jesus, the Blessed Virgin Mary and St Francis of Assisi. Your visit will coincide with the AARTI Ceremony, which involves oil lamps being lit and waved, in order to awake and invoke the deity. Enjoy the experience and spend night at Jaipur. Overnight stay at Jaipur.
