Covering ground for gypsy feet that have a yen for walking down history and scouting the truth behind folklores and forgotten fables by all but the lovers of royalty, the Golden Triangle tour provides the perfect opportunity for visiting three of the most fascinating cities of India; it is also one of the most popular travel packages of India.

Delhi flags off the Golden Triangle leg of this tour; as the capital of India, it is seeped in history, culture and strikes a modernistic balance between various tourist offerings, in the form of monuments like the Qutab Minar, Red Fort, Bahai Temple, India Gate and many more such opportunities for shutter-bugs to go a-clicking.

The city of Agra is the stop-over for this tour and perhaps is best recalled as being the site of a world famous monument of love - the pristine, white-marble tomb, the Taj Mahal. Constructed by the Mughal Emperor, Shah Jehan, the Taj Mahal is said to have been built in the memory of his beloved wife, Mumtaj Mahal. Those witness to the vision of the Taj Mahal by moonlight are quick to recall the ethereal magnificence of this ode to Love, however, its structural beauty and the emotional it represents being Universal in flavor, lends to the Taj, at any part of the day -a wonderous blush, captured in most part in memory- no photograph quiet doing it justice.

Jaipur, a royal city, known for its exclusive offerings of gemstones, fabrics, palaces and folktales surrounded by sand-dunes that transport one to the charm of a bygone era, is sure to win favor with all looking for serenity, distinctive cuisine, arm-loads of shopping and endless opportunity for living it up like the olden day rulers- if only for a day!
