Golden Triangle Tour: The Best Things to Do

 The golden triangle, as we commonly know it, is the Delhi Jaipur Agra Tour circuit – the top 3 towns in India for tourists. If you have planned a Golden Triangle Tour, especially for the first time, your itinerary can be overwhelming. If it is, maybe a little guidance can help you make your trip to India more memorable and enjoyable. Here are the best ventures to go on your golden triangle journey in India. 

DELHI

Your tour starts and ends in India’s bustling capital city, Delhi. So let’s first see what you can enjoy in the old and new parts of the town. 

Pay your respects at the India Gate: The India Gate is an ancient Indian structure representing India. The war memorial has names of war martyrs inscribed, which looks glorious and elegant.

Explore the peaks of India’s power: If you want to know where we take the most critical decisions for the country, then take a visit to the Rashtrapati Bhawan, the Parliament House, and the Secretariat Building.  

Explore the cultural side: After experiencing some politics, it’s time to explore the capital’s culture. I give you the Red Fort, Jama Masjid, Lotus Temple, and Qutub Minar.

Enjoy Qawwalis: To relax, refresh, and rejuvenate after a long adventure in Delhi, you can visit the Hazrat Nizammudin Dargah and indulge in the slow and soothing Qawwalis while enjoying the evening sun and quant environment at the place of god.

Hungry! grab some street food: Delhi is also the food capital of India, so street food is also widespread and famous. Of course, Delhi is renowned for Cholle Kulche, but since it’s the capital city of India, variety from each state is available and sizzling.  

Time to move to Agra: Now it’s time to visit your next destination, Agra, but the path is your choice. I recommend a long journey via the highway surrounded by greenery and listening to Indian music. Imagine that.

AGRA

The home of the Taj Mahal is. Next, we all know the beautiful white marbled structure, but there are many more things to do in Agra. So let’s take a peek.

Taj Mahal: The first one here is the Taj Mahal. However, Taj Mahal Tours from Delhi are available. More on that later. The first feeling that comes to mind when we see it is “overwhelming.” I will leave you with that note.

A different view of the Taj: Coming straight to the point, it’s now time to look at the fading Taj Mahal from afar, boating in the quant and beautiful river, the Yamuna.

Feel like a royal person: Agra is famous for the Agra Fort. Walking through the magnificent structure is an experience you don’t want to miss, especially if you like ancient structures.

Savor the sweets: I recommend the Pethas of Agra if you have a sweet tooth. These colorful sweets look like jelly and also taste amazing.

Explore the Fatehpur Sikri: It used to be the capital of the Mughals, but now it is a heritage site visited by 10s and 1000s of tourists every year.       

JAIPUR

The Pink City of Rajasthan and one of the cities where the Rajput glory and bravery still come alive; it’s the city that will leave a long-lasting impression on you.

Start at the Amber Fort: Also known as the Amer Fort, this is where the history and heritage of Jaipur’s Rajput kings lies and can be relived.

Explore Jaipur: Hawa Mahal, Jantar Mantar, Jal Mahal, and other structures of the old city will tell you why Jaipur is last in this package. If you didn’t get it, the phrase always keeps the best for last fits here perfectly.

Take souvenirs: Explore and buy authentic Rajasthani items at the Bazaars, such as Saris, puppets, block-printed goods, etc.

Chowki Dhani is all about fun: For a fun and memorable time, you can reminisce and visit the Chowki Dhani. On this village-like tourist site, the Kalbeliya tribe takes pride in showcasing traditional music and dance.

Are you a movie-holic? Raj Mandir is not your ordinary cinema house. On the contrary, it’s the grandest cinema in Jaipur. From mouth-watering snacks to the fantastic picture quality and sound effects, it gives you an unforgettable experience.

So that was a wrap on the golden triangle of India. India by Car and Driver wishes you a happy journey. Thank you for reading.
