Golden Triangle Tour
Over the years, the northern golden triangle, comprising of Delhi, Agra and Jaipur has gained immense popularity in the tourist circuits. These three states taken together provide a fascinatingly diverse image of Indian reality, ranging over beauty, historical significance and cultural depth. All three share a tremendous sense of history that is evidenced through spectacular monuments and architecture, yet each city is distinct in its own special kind of appeal.
Travel in India offers you an opportunity to experience the different flavours of India by taking you on a journey that covers these three cities not only geographically but culturally and in spirit as well. Starting with Delhi, we give you an insight into the fusion of east and west to be found in the metropolitan character of the capital, allowing glimpses into all aspects of living from food to clothes to traditions, rituals, and excursions.
From there the tour proceeds to Agra, the city of the magnificent Taj Mahal, that casts a spell on all who set their eyes on its breath-taking beauty. Agra is also famous for the Fatehpur Sikri which includes many structures of immense historical value, like the Buland Darwaza, carved in intricate designs and set amidst verdant gardens, that was constructed to celebrate Emperor Akbar’s victory in Gujarat. At Sikandra we will take you to the Emperor’s tomb, once again a brilliant example of Mughul architecture.
The third corner to the golden triangle is Jaipur, the capital city of Rajasthan, and a huge favourite with all visitors to the country. Jaipur is specially known for its forts, palaces and havelis, all of which reflect the warmth of its people and the hospitality that is an essential ingredient of its cultural fabric. Travel in India will make sure that you get as real a taste of the Rajasthani experience as possible, by organizing elephants trips, cultural and folk performances, and even shopping expeditions where you can chose from the unique mirror-work and bandini prints of handcrafted fabrics.
What makes the entire Golden Triangle experience with Travel in India special, is that we assure you of authentic exposures while providing the comfort of luxury or budget accommodation where your every need is taken care of. The three cities the tour covers are much too rich to be described in a few words or sentences, but while traveling with us you will see for yourself their undeniable charm, their unmatched splendor. Delhi with its cosmopolitan spirit can be contrasted with the romanticism of Agra and the intensity of Jaipur. The fiery passion of the desert at Jaipur merges with the quite depth of the Taj’s beauty, and then combines with the diversity and expanse of the historical and cultural fabric of Delhi.
Each city offers you its secrets and at Travel in India we make sure you hear them, understand them and experience them in totality.
