India is a big country, and you want to enjoy every inch of its culture, people and landmarks. Seeing everything isn't possible on one trip, however, but you can experience some of the top sites across the land.
Consider a Golden Triangle Tour where local experts give you a detailed account of the best Delhi, Agra and Jaipur landmarks for travelers.
Delhi
Bask in the unique culture that defines Delhi. This city is the capital of India with its many governmental buildings and other landmarks. It's possible to spend an entire vacation in Delhi and never see everything the city has to offer. However, the Golden Triangle Tour focuses on some of the most popular sites.
Start out with a walk around the Red Fort. This imposing structure has an infinite amount of historical stories to tell. The red hue makes it a focal point for miles.
In contrast, the Lotus Temple is a white building with a distinct, flower shape. Take photos outside with the nine pools of water. You're welcome to worship inside too.
India Gate, Parliament House and many other sites can be on your itinerary as well. This tour brings you closer to Indian culture than many other selections in the city.
Agra
Agra may be the most well-known city in India because of the Taj Mahal. The Golden Triangle tour gives you some time at this landmark so that you can walk the grounds and enjoy the architecture. This monument to love is a highlight of the tour.
Don't overlook other sites in Agra, such as the Agra Fort. It's made of red sandstone, which makes it stand out from other buildings in the area. In fact, its contrast with the white exterior of the Taj Mahal gives these landmarks a distinct memory in travelers' minds. A sunset photo of the Agra Fort shows off the red hue almost perfectly.
Jaipur
The city of Jaipur will take your breath away because of its distinct color. The buildings were painted pink in the late 1800s to welcome England's Prince of Wales. Luckily, the hue remains on many of the structures, which gives the region its moniker of the "pink city".
There are several landmarks in Jaipur to discover, including Hawa Mahal and the City Palace. This city also has a UNESCO World Heritage site called Jantar Mantar. Within the building are astronomical instruments that are amazingly accurate when it comes to locating stars and other phenomena. The fact that these instruments have been around since Indian medieval times makes the visit even more impactful.
The Golden Triangle tour also includes a look at Amer Fort. Take in the beauty and strength that exudes from this old fort. The city is proud to have this structure as it reflects the region's stability through strife and turmoil of the past.
