Visiting Delhi as a Part of Golden Triangle
At the onset of the tour package, your Golden Triangle tour operator assists you in
transfer from airport to hotel accommodation in Delhi.The tour starts off at the
Red Fort at Old Delhi. With imposing Red Fort guarding one end of the city and
places of worship of Jain, Hindu, Christian and Sikh lined up on the other side –
the air, atmosphere and arrangement of Old Delhi come across aspluralistic and
highlyevocative of Mughal era and subsequent British reign.

As a thumb Rule,Golden Triangle Tour Operator arranges for you a ride through the
labyrinthic narrow lanes of Chandani Chowk in Old Delhi for a peep into ancient
India.It could be a short rickshaw ride from the Jama Masjid (one of the finestand
largest ancient mosques in India) through the lanes of Dariban Kalan, passing by
Kinari Bazaar on the way, all the way to thecelebrated Chandni Chowk and back.
Through the journey, you are likely to noticehow the entirearea is literally littered
with vestiges of past glory, however, critically dusted and rusted.
At New Delhi, you are driven to visit the historical Qutub Minar, Bahai place of wor-
ship called Lotus Temple,few contemporary Hindu temples such asBirla Mandir&Ak-
shardham, and at last but not the least, the Indian martyrs’ memorialcalled India
Gate. In stark contrast to Old Delhi, the sightseeing in New Delhi is like a walk
through a developing country with skyscrapers and trendy bungalows interspersed
with slums, humble colonies and beggars on street lights.
Visiting Jaipur as a Part of Golden Triangle Tour
Like Delhi, Jaipur also preserves numerous grand monuments within its gulfs,
each reminiscent of its glorious past and opulent cultural heritage. From Amber
Fort, Hawa Mahal, Jaigarh Fort to City Palace, Jal Mahal and Nahargarh Fort –

ing artistry in vogue during the ancient times here when valiant Rajput monarchs
and other generous aristocrats ruled the region. Brace up here to witnessa riot of
colours everywhere -into thefrescos, paintings, patterns and carvings - on the
walls, windows, niches, doors and balconies of all palaces, gardens and fortresses
you visit during your stay here.

In Jaipur, you must keep a particular vigil for the exquisite doorways of the Amber
Fort and City Palace. For instance, the Ganesh Pol of the Amber Fort is a fine
instance of how the gates during the olden times were covered with ostentatious
and intricatepaintings all over, to usher good luck. Likewise, the bedazzling four
gates in the inner courtyard of City Palace called “Pritam Niwas Chowk” must be
witnessed to rave properly. The four doors have been adorned carefully to repre-
sent four seasons.
 Visiting Agra as a Part of Golden Triangle Tour
In the third and last leg of the Golden Triangle tour itinerary, you are driven to
Agra via Fatehpur Sikri – a historical monument in red sandstone that was com-
missioned by the 3rd Mughal Emperor of the dynasty - Akbar.He built this ex-
tensive complex with every intention to set up his capital here.However, the
fortress had to be vacated eventually after 14 years of insistence owing to the
paucity of water supply.

India would beyour rendezvous with the mesmerising Taj Mahal.Experience
standing beforethe exquisite pearly white epitome of love and witness the
panorama conduct goosebumps into your body.Who knows, just may be, you
might find yourself stupefied for minutes beyond control, like most other
visitors.

globally acknowledged as a masterpiece and one among the most admired world
heritage buildings. Indeed,the crowning glory of India’s rich cultural heritage
continues to pull crowds of touristsfrom all around the world everyday.It also
remains a muse to the photographers and other creative artists. It would be no
exaggeration to say that one must visit Taj Mahal at least once in a lifetime.

Grossly overshadowed but never lesser than the Taj Mahal, Agra Fort is another
feather in the cap of Mughal architecture – being one of thegrandestand finest
forts in India – second to none in terms of grandeur and intricacy.
