Owing to the shape
formed by these the cities of New Delhi, Agra and Jaipur on a map, and the
frequency of tourists visiting the region, the three cities have earned the
name of India’s Golden Triangle for tourists. The three cities in totality
represent the very essence of India, its rich traditions, glorious past and
everything in between. Golden Triangle Tour for 4 days is the most favored package owing to a tourist group’s convenience, the number of monuments to be covered and the travel time in between. While Delhi overlaps
between the ancient Indian past, the Mughals in the medieval and the English in
the recent-most modern past; Agra in totality represents the golden age of the
Mughals with magnificent and flamboyant structures that stand testimony to the
glory back in the day; Jaipur speaks lengths about the Rajputanavalor, glory, richness,
traditions and everything that weaves them together!
Golden Triangle tour by car from Delhi is a favorite amongst the many Golden triangle holiday packages on offer from many of the tour guide operators in and around Delhi & NCR. Being the capital city of India, New Delhi stands at the center of India’s political past and present. Most of the buildings housing Indian government ministries and other offices of importance today have their roots dating back to the British rule. The Indian Parliament, Trimurti Bhawan (erstwhile Prime Minister’s office), India gate, Rashtrapati Bhawan (President’s house) with more than 300 rooms is the largest amongst all imperial buildings in the world. Mughal gardens at the Rashtrapati Bhawan allow entry of the public in the late winter months of February and March.
Red Fort & Jama Masjid at Shahjahanabad in Old Delhi is classic examples of
the Mughal architecture, the last of which can be seen in Safdarjung tomb’s
style of construction. Humayun’s tomb, Sabz Burj, Delhi & Ajmeri gates being
isolated monuments that speak of the stress laid on the design, symmetry and
overall aesthetics in construction.
Agra, founded by Sikandar Lodhi, a Lodhi ruler of Delhi sultanate predates the Mughal period when the second Mughal emperor Akbar discovered the city and noticing its strategic location, access to water and other significances declared it the capital (after a short stint at Fatehpur Sikri). Agra is a kaleidoscope of medieval structures so beautiful that it attracts millions of tourists from all corners of the world. Taj Mahal, being the crown jewel of India’s tourism is thronged by tourists at all seasons, but majority being during the winter season. Agra fort’s Mussamman Burj in the Shahjahan palace has a beautiful view of the Taj Mahal(Popular Tour Sunrise Taj Mahal Tour from Delhi).

the Mehtabh Bagh, from the other side of the Taj Mahal across the river Yamuna

markets is the place to be!
