The golden triangle consists of visit to Delhi, Agra & Jaipur- one of the most visited spots on Indian map. Delhi being the capital of the country, the capital of kingdoms and empires in the past, is now a sprawling metropolis with a fascinating blend of the past and the present. It is a perfect introduction to the composite culture of an ancient land. A window to the kaleidoscope - that is India. Agra having the Taj Mahal - Little needs to be said about this architectural wonder which is always the soul raison-de-etre for every tourist's visit to Agra. Jaipur - The beautiful city of Jaipur can be traced back to the eighteenth century, during the reign of Jai Singh II who ascended the Amber throne in 1699. Jaipur today, epitomizes the spirit of Rajputana. In-spite of growing into a bustling metropolis, it still retains its character and history
