The classic and definitive tour of north India. This short tour gets you to Delhi, Agra and Jaipur, the most important sites in north India, all within vicinity of the capital.
Soaked in history and culture and surrounded by some of the grandest legends and stories of all time, this short tour of north India’s Golden Triangle starts in Delhi the capital of modern India – a vibrant city, marching pell-mell into the future with a foot firmly planted in the past, rooted in a history reaching back 6000 years. In Delhi, broad, tree lined avenues set amidst gardens suddenly give way to crowded market places down narrow alleys reminiscent of the bazaars of centuries ago which sometimes sit cheek by jowl with glittering malls peddling the latest and biggest brands in the world.
Agra, home to the Taj Mahal and one of the greatest and most enduring love stories ever told. Where the Emperor Shah Jahan, bereaved of his beloved Mumtaz, built in her memory a mausoleum so lovingly crafted that it has come to symbolize the greatest love possible.
The pink city of Jaipur, home to the fierce and hardy Rajputs, warriors who rose out of the desert sands to try ward off every invader that has ever fancied their territories. In between wars, they managed to build grand forts and palaces in the desert that stand to this day as a testament of their tenacity.
