Known as 'Golden Triangle', the Delhi-Agra-Jaipur tour is the best way to explore India's diverse and vibrant culture. Starting from the medieval streets of Old Delhi to the desert regions of Jaipur, these three cities capture your imagination and take you into the fascinating, decadent and impassioned world of the Mughals and Maharajas. For a glinting golden triangle, get up early. Begin your adventure with a drive through Old and New Delhi, seeing its historical landmarks and exploring the country’s capital that walks the perfect line between chaos and beauty, witness one of the world's greatest treasures, the majestic white marble and stone mausoleum that is the Taj Mahal in Agra and at last experience the history of massive forts & float among the clouds over Jaipur.
So, the question is what is so special about three random destinations that make up an imaginary triangle? One could easily find five destinations on the map and create a polygon. Would that make the polygon even more interesting? Well, not always. These three cities are not just random destinations. Delhi, Agra, and Jaipur run in a triangle of British, Mughals and Rajputana culture all at once. The Golden triangle tour is the best way to experience Indian cultural heritage and dive into royalty. It is a circuit that brings you through three of the most culturally flourishing and rich in historical wealth cities of India. All you have to do is fasten your seatbelt and let the journey overwhelm you.
Before planning the trip, you should make a list of must-see highlights to explore vast culture and diverse traditions of India.
