India - The Golden Triangle

The trip of a lifetime to one of the most remarkable countries on earth! You will experience the incredible beauty of Northern India’s Golden Triangle with its unforgettable sights and wealth of culture and history.

Delhi

India’s capital city with its classically beautiful architecture and amazing markets like the Chandni Chowk, its streets bursting with new scents and sounds, offering tasty street food and hand-made souvenirs. By contrast, the largest mosque in India, Jama Masjid, is a sanctuary of calm and beauty.

Also visit Raj Ghat, the resting place of Mahatma Gandhi and the stunning tomb of Humayun, a UNESCO World Heritage Site with perfectly planned gardens and magnificent Islamic architecture. The beauty of the light on the red sandstone of Delhi will stay with you forever.

Agra

Take a scenic drive to Agra where you will take in the impressive Red Fort, another UNESCO site where emperors once lived surrounded by power and riches. Also visit the Tomb of I'timād-ud-Daulah, often called the Baby Taj – a stunning masterpiece in marble with breathtaking decoration. To complete your visit, sample the lively markets of Agra and try the mouthwatering local sweet, petha.

Taj Mahal

Unmissable, this remarkable memorial to an emperor’s love for his wife is a true Indian highlight. From the spectacle of sunlight on the vast marble dome, to the delicate carvings and patterned tiles, plus the pool-filled gardens, you will never forget the Taj Mahal.

Jaipur

The capital of Rajasthan, often called the Pink City, also boats wonderful markets and memorable sights. Its Amber Fort is famed for its dazzling Hall of Mirrors, often lit by just one candle. The pink-flushed Hawa Mahal palace is a must-see, the many windows built to allow the royal women inside a view of the streets without being seen themselves.

At the impressive Jantar Mantar observatory, the world’s largest sundial is on display along with amazing structures from India’s history of astronomy. Also visit the Jaipur City Palace, still used for festivals and celebrations. With magnificent halls, stunning decoration, weaponry and art collections, this palace tells a truly royal story.
