A Quick Guide To India’s Golden Triangle

The Golden Triangle of India is a tourist circuit that connects the national capital, Delhi, Agra and Jaipur. The Golden Triangle is so named because of the triangular shape formed by the locations of New Delhi, Agra, and Rajasthan on the map. Golden Triangle Tours usually begin in Delhi, heading south to the Taj Mahal site in Agra, then west, into the desert landscape of Rajasthan.

The Golden Triangle is now a well-travelled route that offers a good spectrum of different landscapes of the country.

Golden Triangle Tour Starts in Delhi

Golden Triangle begins in Delhi, the fascinating, huge and chaotic capital of the country. Delhi is a city that thrives on contrasts, the suspension between old and new; it is divided, in fact, into New Delhi and Old Delhi. Its most important attractions date back to this glorious period; first of all, the mighty Red Fort: palace, fortress and citadel of the dynasty, is today one of the best known symbols of the whole of India. Also worth visiting is the Raj Ghat, Gandhi’s mausoleum surrounded by a beautiful park; the huge Jama Masjid Mosque, in whose building built with the typical red sandstone and the lively Chandni Chowk bazaar, packed with stalls, shops and carts of colorful food and spices. Other attractions to be taken into consideration between Old and New Delhi are the Qutab Minaret, a symbol of the city from 72 meters high; the splendid Humayun Mausoleum and its garden, the Nizam-ud-din Shrine, India Gate, the Lodhi Gardens, the Lotus Temple and the Sikh temple Gurudwara Bangla Sahib.

Jaipur – The Most Memorable Place in Golden Triangle Tour

Traveling in the regions of Haryana and Rajasthan, you reach the second stage of the Golden Triangle, about 270km away. Imagine an entire historic center entirely pink, the color of terracotta. Such a special place exists and it is Jaipur, known precisely as the Pink City. Here, an aimless tour of the chaotic city bazaars is a must, in search of fabrics, jewels, souvenirs and handicrafts to make your head spin! Among the things to visit, take a look at the Jantar Mantar Astrological Observatory and, above all, the City Palace complex and the wonderful Palace of the Winds (Hawa Mahal), built in red sandstone and embellished with hundreds of decorated windows.

End point of Golden Triangle- Agra

From Jaipur to Agra there are about 240km, but there are two important stops to make along this Golden Triangle route. The first is in the village of Abhaneri, where you can admire a very particular building; the Chand Baori, an 11-story deep well-palace, decorated with sculptures and dating back to the 9th century. Further on, we strongly recommend that you stop at Fatehpur Sikri, a very well preserved citadel dating back to the times of the Mughal dynasty; here you can admire the mosque, historic buildings and ancient walls. Once in Agra, you can stop and visit some of its most beautiful attractions; first of all the Agra Fort, a huge construction, with walls up to 20 meters high, and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Then visit the elegant Itimad-ud-Daulah Mausoleum, dating back to the 1920s and decorated with wonderful marble inlays. The real highlight not only of Agra but of the entire Golden Triangle is certainly the Taj Mahal, one of the symbols of India and considered among the most beautiful buildings in the world.
