Classical Golden Triangle

Duration of Trip: 05 Nights / 06 Days
Places Covered: Delhi - Agra - Jaipur - Delhi


A weeklong tour of the classical golden triangle circuit, the tour presents the best of Delhi, Agra, and Jaipur. Delhi has been the stage of political drama in India for centuries. The relics found at the Old Fort here are dated back to the Mahabharata era and historians even claim that it was once a part of Indraprastha, the capital of Pandavas. Since then, Delhi has seen several kings struggling to capture its throne. Qutub Minar represents the first Islamic victory in India while the Red Fort was the stronghold of Mughals, ever since they shifted from Agra. Jama Masjid and Chandni Chowk are other relics of Mughal era. British legacies at New Delhi include India Gate and Rashtrapati Bhawan. Taj Mahal at Agra and Hawa Mahal and Jantar Mantar at Jaipur are other monuments that represent the height of creativity and scientific ingenuity of the local artisans.
