The Golden Triangle is one of India’s most iconic travel circuits, connecting three of the country’s most vibrant and historic cities: Delhi, Agra and Jaipur. This popular route offers a glimpse into India’s rich cultural heritage, majestic architecture and diverse traditions.
Delhi, the nation’s capital, is a blend of the old and the new. From the imposing Red Fort and the grand Jama Masjid to the bustling markets of Chandni Chowk, Delhi captures the essence of India’s complex history.
A few hours’ drive from Delhi leads to Agra, home to the world-famous Taj Mahal, a symbol of love and one of the Seven Wonders of the World. The city is also known for the impressive Agra Fort and the exquisite Mughal gardens.
The final stop is Jaipur, the vibrant capital of Rajasthan, often referred to as the Pink City. Jaipur is famous for its magnificent palaces, such as the Hawa Mahal and the City Palace and the stunning Amber Fort, set against a backdrop of rugged hills.
Whether you’re a history buff, a culture enthusiast, or simply a traveller seeking unforgettable experiences, the Golden Triangle offers a perfect introduction to the magic of India. An attractive extension to this iconic itinerary, especially for wildlife enthusiasts is a visit to Ranthambore National Park, home to the elusive Royal Bengal tiger as well as leopard, sloth bear, sambar deer, chital, nilgai, black buck, langur and macaque.
