Overview
For 5 nights the Golden Triangle circuit, comprised of Delhi, Jaipur and Agra, will be your home. All three of these spellbinding cities bring something different to the circuit and you’ll hop from one to the other via dedicated vehicle for our passengers, safe from the glare of the Indian sun. Delhi, the Indian Capital, is home to three World Heritage Sites, the Qutab Minar, Red Fort and Humayun’s Tomb, as well as the India Gate and Lotus Temple, most of which will feature on your itinerary. Its bustling streets and lively ambiance will mean there’s never a dull moment, but if you’re set on experiencing life like a true Delhite, be sure to h itch a ride on a rickshaw during your stay.
Your next stop is the “Pink City” for Agra and it’s Mughal-era architecture, containing tombs and mausoleums left behind by the Mughal empire. Located in the northern state of Uttar Pradesh, Agra is also home to the UNESCO World Heritage Sites of Agra Fort , however its most noteworthy definitely has to be the phenomenal Taj Mahal, a veritable symbol of India which is breath taking to behold. Later you will visit aipur, the capital of the Indian state of Rajasthan and a vibrant hub of art and flamboyancy. The honey-colored Hawa Mahal, the impressive astronomical observatory of Jantar Mantar and the World Heritage Site of Amer Fort are three important landmarks which perhaps helped Jaipur gain the status of number one Indian destination in 2015 by Trip Advisor.
The next leg of your trip will be spent in Goa. Although India’s smallest state, Goa makes up for its size with idyllic beaches, raucous nightlife and ancient churches and temples. Goa’s two World Heritage Sites, the Bom Jesus Basilica and the churches and convents of Old Goa, are definitely worth a visit, not to mention the various forts of Aguada, Tiracol and Chapora. History buffs can satisfy their appetites at the Naval Aviation Museum or in the cultural quarter of Fontain in Panaji, while thrill-seekers can while away the hours enjoying Goa’s myriad of water sports at Bagatelle and Calangute Beaches. Then, dance the night away in a place that is ranked 6th in the top 10 nightlife cities in the world by National Geographic, or get to grips with typical culinary delights in swanky restaurants beneath the soft glow of the moonlight. Whatever your tastes, your four nights spent here are guaranteed to be both memorable and jam-packed.
