But since it is a diverse country and there are chances that you might experience cultural shock, here are some things that you should know before stepping foot in the country.

What is the golden triangle famous for?

The tour is famous for many things, ranging from the old market of Chandni Chowk to the Red Fort, Agrasen ki Baoli, the Lotus Temple, and Lodhi Gardens in Delhi. Unmissable places in Jaipur are the Amer Fort, the Hawa Mahal, the City Palace, Panna Meena Ka Kund and Nahargarh Fort. And it goes without saying that the Taj Mahal is the most important part of this tour.

How do I plan a Golden Triangle Tour?

The easiest and the most convenient way to plan your golden triangle holidays in India would be to start your route from Delhi and have the most days there. Next, you can head to Agra for one day and one night, where you can explore the Mughal architecture. Next thing to do would be to travel to Jaipur in the evening and stay for 2-3 Nights. Here you will visit the most famous places that are historically known for their heritage conservation and culture.

When should I visit the Golden Triangle of India?

Winter is without a doubt the best time to visit the golden triangle India. This is because the summers in India especially in North India, are too hot and the monsoon does not too much favors to the cities of Delhi and Jaipur alike.

What type of clothes should we carry?

Since your golden triangle tour starts from the Jama Masjid in Delhi and probably ends up at the Galtaji Temple in Jaipur, it is advisable that you carry clothes that are not only comfortable but also modest to the eyes of the strangers in the country. Wear clothes that cover your body as whole, and carry a dupatta with you. When visiting tourist places like forts, palaces, the Rashtrapati Bhawan, Rajghat, Qutub Minar, and Humayun’s tomb, you can dress up as you like. Not many people will bother you about your clothes at places other than religious complexes. All the cities including Jaipur, Delhi and Agra have people who are broad-minded and you will be comfortable wearing whatever you like. Carry a pair of shoes with you, since there are many palaces and forts to be studied inside out, and many hilltops to climb and the way to most temples has many stairs in the India trip.

How to do the travel? 

It is very important that you select the right methods of transportation during your tour in India. It will be difficult, driving a vehicle in India, as the traffic has heavy backgrounds, there is a lack of road signs, and people might not follow traffic rules. It is recommended that you book a taxi for your local visits. To travel between cities, you can either opt for luxury trains like the Rajdhani Express, or travel in a taxi. Make sure that the driver understands the language that you speak, and talk to your service provider beforehand about his food and accommodation. For luxury escapes, you can also see the Golden Triangle aboard one of India’s luxury trains! The Maharaja’s Express and Palace on Wheels both travel through Delhi, Jaipur and Agra.
