Visit The Fascinating Indian Cities Delhi, Agra and Jaipur with Golden Triangle Tours
|
For tourists who for some reason cannot choose to visit all of India, be it because of financial or time constraints, there is the option of visiting the three most fantastic cities in India: Delhi, Agra and Jaipur. This trip of cities is lovingly referred to as the ‘golden triangle’ of India and while there are many other states and cities in the country, each with its unique offerings that you must experience fully, these three cities are like a condensed, package tour of the country. By visiting these three cities you get a chance to observe the rich culture and history of the country, witness the influence of three of the greatest rulers and empires the country has ever known (the Mughals, the Rajputs and of course, the British Imperialists) and see a dazzling collection of monuments and spots.
Golden Triangle Tours begin with the capital city of Delhi, which is the political, cultural, social and economic heart of the country. Delhi is the city where the influence of the Mughal rulers and the British Raj is observable in equal parts in every aspect of life. The monuments that are a must-visit in Delhi are Humayun’s Tomb, Safdarjung’s Tomb, Hauz Khas Fort, Red Fort, Qutub Minar, India Gate and Jamali-Kamali. There are many temples and places of worship in the city as well that one can visit, such as the Bahaii Temple, the Iskon Temple, the various temples of Chattarpur, the Jama Masjid and the Bangla Sahib. Apart from these sightseeing spots, the cuisine is a big attraction. One can visit paranthe wali gali in the Old Delhi area to try some yummy paranthas or even the various restaurants offering mouthwatering Mughal cuisine. One can also find restaurants offering a variety of cuisines from other parts of the world in Delhi, such as Turkish food, Lebanese food, Chinese food, South Indian food, Italian food and Mexican food. Eating and sightseeing aside, there are several shows, theatre performances, events, fests and cultural events and exhibitions that are organized in Delhi all the time.
The next stop on the Golden Triangle Tours is the city of Agra. This city is famous all around the world because it is home to the Taj Mahal, the white marble structure that Emperor Shah Jahan built in memory of his wife Mumtaz Mahal. The Taj Mahal is an international symbol of love and passion and this city is host to thousands of visitors each month from all around the world. Apart from this, one can also visit the Agra Fort and Fatehpur Sikri which are also internationally recognized places.
Last but not the least, is the Pink City, the capital of Rajsthan: the city of Jaipur. Jaipur is a city full of monuments, palaces, ruins, forts and lakes. Visiting Jaipur is like stepping into the past, because even though it is one of the most modern cities in the country, it has preserved its rich cultural heritage so impeccably that the past has seamlessly merged with the present and future here. Beautiful handicrafts, leather goods and jewelry have made Jaipur popular amongst tourists from all over the world, while it is also a must to try out the amazing, spicy cuisine of the region. Famous places to visit are the Hawa Mahal, Amber Fort, City Palace and Jantar Mantar. |
