The northern part of India is known all over for its wealth of
heritage. Whether you are a first time visitor or a repeat visitor, you should
be ready for a great learning experience every time you visit the cities of
Delhi, Agra and Jaipur, together known as the Golden Triangle. The Golden
Triangle circuit boasts of as many as nine wondrous UNESCO World Heritage
Sites. And that's the reason Heritage Golden Triangle tourpackages are loved by travellers of every taste and background. Truly,
there's just too much to explore.
The cities of Delhi, Agra and Jaipur present a befitting introduction
to the history of India. Each of these cities, that more or less form an
equilateral triangle on the map of India, is a treasure trove of vibrant heritage. They give you an
excellent opportunity to dig deep into the history of Mughal rulers and Rajput
maharajahs while having a lot of fun.
The Heritage Golden Triangle tour starts in Delhi, which is home to such famous tourist
attractions as the Red Fort, the Jama Masjid, the Qutub Minar and the Humayun's
Tomb among others. A rickshaw ride through the crowded local markets of Chandni
Chowk will help you uncover many interesting tidbits of the Mughal history.
Next, you'll head to Agra, the next important destination covered by the
heritage tour. Located in Uttar Pradesh, Agra is where you'll experience the
heavenly beauty of the Taj Mahal, built by the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan in the
affectionate memory of his wife Mumtaz Mahal. After seeing the gigantic Agra
Fort and making a visit to the 'Ghost Town' of Fatehpur Sikri, you'll head
straight to Jaipur to uncover the Rajput era heritage.
The capital city of Rajasthan, Jaipur has a number of attractions that
will let you know about the artistic capabilities that flourished in the Rajput
era. Plus, you'll get a sneak peek into the life of the valiant Rajput
maharajahs. While in Jaipur, you'll see the City Palace, the Hawa Mahal (or the
Palace of Winds) and the Amber Fort, famous for a royal elephant ride.
