Overview
The Golden Triangle in India refers to a popular tourist circuit that connects three major cities in the northern part of the country, forming a triangle on the map. The three cities are Delhi, Agra, and Jaipur. This tour is called the Golden Triangle because of the rich cultural and historical heritage these cities has to offer.
The capital city of India, Delhi is a blend of historical monuments, bustling markets, and modern infrastructure. Major attractions include India Gate, Qutub Minar, Humayun's Tomb, Red Fort, Jama Masjid, and the Lotus Temple. The city is a vibrant mix of different cultures and has both old and new parts, reflecting its rich history.
Agra is home to the iconic Taj Mahal, one of the Seven Wonders of the World. It was built by Emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his wife Mumtaz Mahal. Apart from the Taj Mahal, Agra Fort and Fatehpur Sikri are other historical sites worth exploring.
Known as the Pink City, Jaipur is the capital of the state of Rajasthan and is famous for its vibrant culture, historical forts, and palaces. Amber Fort, City Palace, Hawa Mahal, and Jantar Mantar are some of the must-visit attractions in Jaipur. The city is known for its colorful markets and traditional Rajasthani cuisine.
The tour provides a glimpse into India's rich history, architecture, and cultural diversity. Travelers often start the tour in Delhi, then proceed to Agra to witness the Taj Mahal, and finally, explore the cultural richness of Jaipur. The distance between each city is relatively short, making it a convenient and popular circuit for tourists.
