'The Golden Triangle' consists of 3 popular cities in India, namely, Delhi, Agra and Jaipur. Sprawled over the western banks of river Yamuna, Delhi, the capital city of India is the most enthralling place in the region. A perfect amalgamation of primeval and contemporary worlds, Delhi is often referred as Dreamers Paradise.

For decades now, Agra's name has become almost synonymous with India. A trip to India is considered incomplete without visiting the grandeur monument that lies in Agra. Taj Mahal, one of the Seven Wonders of the World, stands proudly on the sands of Agra silently narrating a tale of eternal love. The Mughal emperor Shah Jahan in the loving memory of his beloved wife Mumtaz Mahal built Taj Mahal that today is a major tourist attraction in India. The majestic Agra Fort, Tomb of Itmad-ud-Daulah, also popular as Baby Taj, are some of the other famous destinations in the mystical city of Agra and can be visited on the Golden Triangle Tours.
Founded in 1727 AD by one of the greatest rulers of the Kachhawaha family, king Sawai Jai Singh Jaipur is the capital city of Rajasthan and is popularly known as the 'pink city of India'. The pink color was used at the time of constructing the place to create an impression of red sandstone buildings of Mughal cities. The whole town was repainted in 1876 for welcoming the Prince of Wales who visited Jaipur in that year. A popular tourists destination today, Jaipur is host to numerous fascinating forts, pleasing palaces, terrific temples and luxurious gardens, all together add more grace to the allure of Jaipur and makes it an important link on the Golden Triangle of India.
