North India - Golden Triangle Tour

One of the extremely popular travel circuits in India is the Golden Triangle covering Delhi (capital of India), Agra, Fatehpur Sikri, Jaipur (capital of state of Rajasthan). Each of these destinations has a rich history from times of former Hindu, Mughal & British rulers of India.

The tour started from Delhi, which is an interesting amalgamation of the fascinating experiences. This old and yet very young capital of India was bristling with energy. Lots of construction in all the parts (most of it due to Metro Lines being laid for upcoming commonwealth games) made navigating through this busy metropolis very difficult – but we enjoyed every moment nevertheless.

Delhi is a hundreds of years old capital of the country and as per some accounts the history stretches back thousands of years from the time of Mahabharata (an ancient Indian scripture). The city is dotted with structures (& ruins) of historic, medieval times from its rich past.
