India Golden Triangle & Ranthambore ParkFriday 19th November to Tuesday 30th November 2010 |  |
India is a rich and glorious country inhabited by proud and generous people who will create a memory that will stay with you forever.
The Golden Triangle route (encompassing Delhi, Agra and Rajasthan) is by far the most popular area for first time visitors to India. A trip to these places takes in the enigmatic city of Delhi - the capital city - which is divided into two main areas. Old Delhi, with its medieval streets, important mosques and Moghul influence acts as an invigorating mix of history and cultural influences. New Delhi is full of wide avenues, stately monuments and large, green open parks. Agra, home to the world renowned and beautiful Taj Mahal, is only a short drive from the capital. To complete the triangle, a visit to the Rajasthan town of Jaipur can take in the Amber Fort, numerous Palaces and the fascinating Observatory.
