India

Golden Triangle & Holy Ganges

8 days

Trip Snapshot

Golden Triangle is the most popular trinity of Indian tourism - Delhi, Agra & Jaipur. It is a perfect introduction to the quintessential Indian experience. The entire Golden Triangle region is dotted with lots of UNESCO World Heritage Sites. It is plush with history and culture. While Taj Mahal is the major draw, but other monuments and attractions complement well with the glamor of The Taj. The chaos of Delhi streets is a lifetime experience, which could give you goosebumps. The hill fort of Jaipur - Amer Fort is an astounding fort palace, which will enthrall you with its architecture. Varanasi, or Benaras, (also known as Kashi) is one of the oldest living cities in the world. The famous English author Mar Twain wrote about Varanasi - “Benaras is older than history, older than tradition, older even than legend and looks twice as old as all of them put together.” It has been the ultimate pilgrimage spot for Hindus for ages. The holy Ganges in Varanasi is believed to have the power to wash away the sins of mortals. A morning boat ride on the Ganges is such a soul-soothing experience. This short trip is like a platter full of travel-treats. But you can't have all of the cookies in one go. So keep savoring the experiences one by one.
