Although understanding India in all her various glorious facets can become a lifelong endeavour, for first time travellers from outside or within this beautiful country, a tour of the Golden Triangle can be the perfect introduction.

India is so many things to so many people. To the uninitiated, India may appear to be a distant exotic land full of a vibrant culturally diverse people, who pray and eat with equal passion! A Golden Triangle tour comprises the three world famous cities of New Delhi, Agra and Jaipur. It is the best introduction a tourist can have to India.

A visit to the Golden Triangle is sure to incite a thirst in tourists to explore the vast lands of India in its fascinating diversity and absorb its myriad moods and hues. Typically starting a Golden Triangle tour in India’s capital Delhi, you get to see two contrasting aspects of life and culture in the old part of the city called Old Delhi and the contemporary seat of power, New Delhi. While in Old Delhi you get to see colourful bazars bustling with people and filled with the aroma of various mouth-watering cuisines, in New Delhi you get to feel ...
... the intense charm of Lutyens’ Delhi rubbing shoulders with hip business centres, malls and hi-tech entertainment centres.

Delhi is a heritage city so a tourist’s must do list will include visits to the incredible architectural marvels preserved through history such as the awesome Qutub Minar, Humayun Tomb, Red Fort (Lal Qila), India Gate, Jama Masjid, Jantar Mantar, Lotus Temple, Parliament House, Purana Qila, Rashtrapati Bhawan, Safdarjung Tomb and Lodi Tomb. The shopping opportunities for visitors are simply overwhelming as handicraft; textiles, paintings and sculpture from all across the country are available in select outlets in Delhi.

Reaching Agra from Delhi is easy via road or rail and actually a fun trip as the kaleidoscope of life’s various hues passes through your vision during the almost 3 hour long journey. Agra takes you into the romantic era of the Mughals when beauty and war co-existed. The unique and one-of-its-kind Taj Mahal looks down proudly at all visitors as it embraces the world into its white bosom. There is a glory and peace to be felt on the Taj Mahal’s pristine white marble, which can prove to be life-changing for many. For truly, rarely is there a creation so beautiful that your soul feels at peace after seeing the best dream come true of the human mind.

After you explore Agra you can head for the desert gem Jaipur, called the Pink City, due to its iconic pink coloured architecture, with the pride of place going to the famous Hawa Mahal. Jaipur is so rich in heritage that you can almost feel the tinkling of the anklets and bangles of the princesses of a bygone era in the air on rose-hued evenings. Jaipur mesmerises, pleases and lures all visitors to explore its various old forts and vibrant bazars filled with colourful local handicraft and textiles.

Golden triangle tour packages also include attractions for wildlife lovers with the World Heritage Keoladeo Ghana Bird sanctuary and the Ranthambore National Park for a bit of tiger spotting!
