The Golden Triangle

The Golden Triangle (7 days, 6 nights)

The Golden Triangle includes Delhi, Jaipur and Agra. All three cities were heavily influenced by Mughals and this is evident from the awe-inspiring monuments that were commisioned by the Mughal emperors. Ofcourse, the best known among these is the Taj Mahal built by Shah Jahan as a symbol of love for his beloved wife Mumtaz. Then there are other monuments such as the Amber Fort in Jaipur and the Jama Masjid in Delhi. But North India has more to offer: vibrant cultures, colors, chaos, and the people. Come with an open mind and all these factors will enhance your experience - one that will remain with you forever.

The trip begins and ends in Delhi. There are direct flights to Delhi from most cities in the US including New York, Los Angeles and Chicago. Visas for India must be obtained prior to departure from the US and is processed by Travisa Outsourcing.
