Golden Triangle Tour |
 Duration of Trip: 05 Nights / 06 Days
Places Covered: Delhi - Agra - Fatehpur Sikri - Jaipur - Delhi |
The famed Golden Triangle tourist circuit in North India has three major destinations - Delhi, Agra and Jaipur. An eclectic mix of tradition and modernity, the three cities have distinctive personalities. At Jaipur, the royal impressions of Rajputs still have an indelible mark on its architecture, art and culture while Mughal monuments mark the major landmarks of Agra. Delhi can easily be divided in two sections - Old Delhi with an old world charm, narrow lanes and crowded marks with Mughal era landmarks and New Delhi, which has wide streets lined by shady trees, well-planned structures and vast stretches of greenery that are reminiscent of its European legacy from the British Raj period.
