| The
famous Golden Triangle of India actually covers three most
beautiful and captivating cities of the country Delhi
(the capital of India), Agra (the city of Taj) and Jaipur
(the land of Rajput kings). It is actually a kaleidoscope
that presents the Indian pageantry in its most colorful forms
and offers you a dazzling vista of stately and grandiose architectural
buildings, forts and palaces with a legendary heritage and
a fertile and affluent tradition of art and culture. These
cities are undoubtedly, the epitomes of Indian cultural, historical
and architectural heritage and have all been the capitals
of the princely states at least in the past. The blessed experience
of viewing the world-famous monument of Shahjahan's love -
Taj Mahal, the imperial, elegant and imposing buildings of
Lutyens' New Delhi and the regal splendor of the desert city
of Jaipur, will certainly leave an indelible expression in
the deepest recesses of your heart.
Each city has its own unique identity made up of a combination
of different sights, sounds and experiences. Delhi is as modern
as any big cosmopolitan city with a degree of sophistication
that comes from being the ruling capital of a nation and modernity
that comes from being frequented people of all nationalities
and cultures. Agra showcases the opulence of the Mughal Empire
while a royal elephant ride and warm welcome in the city Jaipur
are not the only reminiscent of to the city’s medieval
Rajput culture. This Golden Triangle is one of the hot-picks
and has beckoned tourists for long and no city is more than
250 km away from another of the triangle and is connected
well by roads and trains. Being popular tourist destinations,
all of these cities have good hotels and tourism facilities
too.
