Key Features
- Three historic cities
- Beautiful buildings & wildlife
Delhi
A vibrant city of two halves, the old and the new. The Qutab Minar is an architectural marvel of the 13th century made of red sandstone. The Red Fort, once the most opulent fort of the Mughal Empire. Contrast this with 'New' Delhi, the city built by the British.
Agra
This city is known for the famous marble monument, the Taj Mahal, built by the Emperor Shah Jehan in memory of his wife Mumtaz Mahal. The Taj Mahal is best seen either at sunrise or sunset.
Jaipur
This city was painted pink in the 19th century in honour of Prince Albert and still
retains much of its pink hue.
The City Palace complex houses several palatial structures and is an imposing blend of traditional
Rajasthani with Mughal art and architecture.
The Golden Triangle India
The Golden Triangle, encompassing Delhi, Agra and Jaipur, offers visitors the chance to see some of India's most beautiful buildings such as the Red Fort and the Qutab Minar in Delhi, the City Palace and the Amber Fort at Jaipur and the magnificent Taj Mahal in Agra. Methods of transport include not only air-conditioned coach and train but also an elephant ride and a rickshaw! Our extended tour includes visits to the fabulous bird sanctuary at Bharatpur and the chance to see a tiger at the wild life sanctuary at Sawai Madhopur. Whichever tour you take, the sights, sounds and scents of India will provide memories that last long after your return home.
