History has repeatedly shown us that the best things always come in threes, from Hollywood blockbusters, stories and heroic teaming. The rule of three usually means things are more inherently humorous, satisfying and effective than any other number.  This is why many locations and tour operators around the world boasts of three stop or triangular tours.

India is no stranger to this with its Golden Triangle Tour being world-famous, taking in most of India’s most popular tourist sites. The trip begins in the heart of Chaotic and bustling Delhi, where one should expect things to be a little topsy-turvy. From there it’s on to one of the most iconic sites in the entire world, the Taj Mahal as you explore the city of Agra. Jaipur the Pink City is the last stop on your journey before your return to Delhi, with its many fascinating buildings ancient sites and modern day luxuries each city is sure to entertain.

 
Each city being connected by railways and roads when looked at on a map forms the shape of a triangle, with its vast amounts of cultural heritage sites, loaded with history and the seat of India’s power, the route was given the name the golden triangle.

Delhi

 
Delhi being the capital of India one would expect lots of people crowded streets and many architectural eyesores. However the city also bleeds out of its urban madness into some sites that shows the heart of India. Start your morning off with a cup of Chai tea the perfect blend of spices and milk. While exploring the city, places like the Jama Masjid Mosque and the Lakshmi Narayan Temple in Old Delhi are not be missed, two places of religious worship beautiful constructed makes for the perfect places to take in the building styles of old India.
 
For a breath of serenity take a visit to the Humayun’s Garden Tomb, a clean open air space where the incredible fusion of Persian and Nigel architecture makes up the inspiration for the Taj Mahal.

Agra

 
The city of Agra takes center stage of the triangle because what is a trip to India without visiting the Taj Mahal? The traffic has to been to be believed, the streets are sometimes littered herds of goats, a few cows every now and again, scooters, cars and trucks. Over the years we have heard of many lovers doing the unthinkable for their lost love ones, from Cleopatra and Mark Anthony to Romeo and Juliette. But when Shah Jahan lost his wife he commissioned the building of the Taj Mahal as a monument to her beauty and a mausoleum.

The Agra Fort served as a stronghold for many Mughal empires, it even served as a prison for Shah Jahan, who was imprisoned there by his own son for 8 years before his death. Other sites include the Akbar Mausoleum who the father of Shah Jahan and one of India’s greatest rulers.
