Contrary to its namesake, a golden triangle
is not as golden as one would think.
Even in mathematical
parlance, it merely refers to isosceles triangles commonly
found in the points of pentagrams.
However, India's
Golden Triangle, particularly that promoted by North
Indian Travel, is a geographical area rife with travel
experiences of the golden kind.
Otherwise, this is an intensely lucrative strategy
of Northern India Tour Packages to promote three of
India's greatest metropolises.

This North India Tour is a win-win arrangement, in that
Delhi, Agra and Jaipur are on the line. Delhi, the Indian capital,
is the portal to the elusive Triangle. Veritably the city
of contrasts, there are both modern and ancient spectacles
to be had in this bustling metropolis.
Jama Masjid is a Delhi attraction, India's largest mosque.
Standing 238 ft, the symbol of Delhi's Islamic heritage however
is the skyscraping Qutb Minar, North Indian Tours traversing
Delhi consistently do not miss out on The Red Fort of the
city, known locally as Lal Quila.
It is a city landmark, built in the heyday of the Mogul empire.
Exemplary Mogul architecture is further seen in Humayun's Tomb. It is commonly seen as the prototype of the Taj Mahal.
In spite of the oriental splendor, Delhi's Rashtrapati Bhavan is hailed by many a North India Cultural Tour for single-handedly showcasing the city's British colonial past.
Standing since 1929, it is an imposing palace, even larger than Versailles. It had housed the Viceroy, before the President came to take residence. |

After Delhi, the journey eases on to Agra. Its claim to fame is the Taj Mahal, for all the obvious reasons. All in all, any North India Tour is nullified without a visit to this palatial, heart-stirring bastion of love. It was erected to enshrine the body of Shah Jahan's wife.
The Northern India Travel Package pretty much culminates
190 miles southwest of Delhi, in the city of Jaipur. Absolute
metropolis it's not, as a section of the city rests in a
time warp of awesome forts and palaces.
The walled section of the city is touted the Pink City – here
lies the true age of Jaipur. A most magnificent marvel is
the City Palace. For years on end since 1728, the Maharajas
of Jaipur resided here.
Jaipur's most commended attraction is by far the Palace
of the Winds, a crown-shaped building built in 1799 to accommodate
the women of the court. North India Tours are also apt to
include Jantar Mantar and Amber Fort in Jaipur routes.
