Golden Triangle with a difference. A mix of the usual tourist trail, plus other interesting parts of India reflecting the heritage, the people.. The normal tour of the Golden Triangle takes in Agra (Taj Mahal), Jaipur (Amber Fort, and Palace of Winds) and Delhi. Occasionally you get to see additional bits of Rajasthan – Udaipur, Jaisalmer etc. Of course you must see these, you can’t come to India and miss out on a wonder of the world. But how about including a different India, just as much a wonder of the world but off the beaten tourist track? We have created itineraries of the golden triangle, paying particular attention to the story behind the wonders and added different variations, choose one or all, depending on your interest and the available time. First priority is to properly enjoy the Golden Triangle then indulge yourself for an experience of a life time - with the additions. |
