Golden Triangle tours are package tours that are quite distinct from all other tour packages. For one it is the best way to travel India and experience the country in the true sense of the word. And, it is guaranteed to make every moment of your holiday special and every penny you spent worthwhile. Often, people compare golden tour packages to other holiday packages and say that it is limited in terms of coverage. But they all fail to understand the scope of it. This tour offers a lot more to travellers, in terms of fun, adventure, exploration, knowledge and inspiration. To put it simply, it certainly goes way beyond the scope of paying a visit to the Taj Mahal. Golden Triangle tours comprise trips to the three cities of Delhi, Agra and Jaipur. They are considered to be the three most visited cities in India. Connected by roads and rails, these cities form an almost equilateral triangle on a map, for which they have been dubbed as the ‘golden triangle’. The word ‘golden’ is used to signify the deep cultural and historical wealth of each respective city. Your travel India experience is sure to be reflected upon each city you visit. For instance, Jaipur, the capital of Rajasthan, has the best and biggest shopping bazaars in Asia. However, most tourists are not privy to such bazaars because most travel India holiday packages do not include trips to these places. As in most cases, a Golden Triangle tours package starts from the capital city of India - Delhi. This is the perfect place to start any tour as it is a metropolis filled with history and culture, and a rather young populous. Together, they represent a megalopolis that is on the rise. Of course, the ‘action’ or the Indian experience is best encountered in Delhi’s street life. Most tour packages do not offer visits to such places. Generally, most Indian holiday packages are limited to only prominent places like the Jama Masjid - the great mosque of India, the Red Fort, the Rajpath and the India Gate. On the other hand, Golden Triangle tours also include trips to various other places; they also offer the chance to experience the Indian side of life. To complete the triangle, and your travel India experience, we have Agra. It is mainly known for its architectural and monumental splendour - namely the Taj Mahal. But other than the Taj Mahal there is also the Moghul fort, which is ideally located in the centre of the city. The marble mausoleum in Agra is considered to be the most popular tourist site in the country. Aside from these, Agra offers places of architectural prominence in the form of jewelled tombs and ancient bazaars that look medieval. Most places in Agra look like a glorified version of a village, due to suburban ambience they generate. If you haven’t really travelled through India or if you’re a first time traveller, then a Golden Triangle tours package is the best way to acquaint yourself with India. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________
