India's Golden Triangle holidays

India's Golden Triangle combines historical heritage, majestic palaces and ancient forts in the north’s major cities of Delhi, Agra and Jaipur. You don't need to be a history buff or an art lover to appreciate the vibrant colours, sights, smells and sounds of this region’s incredible heritage. Starting in Delhi, explore the city's imposing monuments and cycle through the winding alleys of the Old Delhi markets, where you can witness the bustling lives of locals up close. Catch the Gatimaan Express train to the riverside city of Agra and have your very own Princess Diana moment in front of the monumental Taj Mahal - a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the New Seven Wonders of the World. Built by Shah Jahan to honour his late wife Mumtaz Mahal, it will be hard not to be blown away by this architectural marvel. India's Golden Triangle continues to the historic city of Jaipur, where you'll be immersed in ancient history and culture. Known as the ‘Pink City’ for its rose-red palaces such as the beautiful sandstone Amber Fort, which perches on a hilltop. As you wander around Jaipur, keep an eye out for elephants who like to bathe in the lake – the perfect sight to round off your Golden Triangle holiday. Read more
