Golden Triangle (Delhi-Agra-Jaipur)

The Golden Triangle refers to India's most-travelled tourist circuit connecting Delhi, Agra and Jaipur - three cities forming a rough triangle on the map, each roughly 200-250 km apart. Delhi, the capital, layers Mughal monuments, colonial-era buildings and modern city life. Agra, on the banks of the Yamuna, is home to the Taj Mahal and Agra Fort, relics of Mughal emperor Shah Jahan's reign. Jaipur, the Pink City and capital of Rajasthan, showcases Rajput-era forts, palaces and vibrant bazaars. Together the three cities offer a compact, well-connected introduction to India's Mughal and Rajput heritage, making the circuit the most popular short tour itinerary for first-time visitors to India.
