Delhi, Jaipur and Agra - India’s vibrant trifecta
Golden Triangle
The famed Golden Triangle begins in Delhi, the Indian capital. It’s a captivating, expansive city that lends itself to journeying south to see Agra’s Taj Mahal and the Pink City of Jaipur.

Why the Golden Triangle?
Delhi is a whirlwind of activity and we love this curiosity-inducing capital. A city has existed here in some form for at least 3,000 years – visit ancient remains at the UNESCO-designated Qutub Minar, in Feroz Shah Kotla and around lively Old Delhi with the labyrinthine streets of Chandni Chowk market.
Next stop in the Golden Triangle is Agra, home to the Taj Mahal which needs no introduction. This is the most recognisable building in the world and is best enjoyed at dawn, before the crowds and when first light turns the white marble to hues of blue and pink. It’s a natural fit with the third corner of the triangle: Jaipur, also known as the Pink City. This formerly royal city features grand palaces and the Jantar Mantar observatory.
