Perfect time
If you want to experience most of the favourable conditions for your Golden Triangle tour, plan your vacation between October and March. It is widely agreed that these months are the best time mainly because of the nice weather and the places crowded yet weather being supportive enjoyment does not stop. Numerous tourists come for the winters against the hot summers. October and November are excellent choices also because there are festivals like Diwali. Sometimes January and December are extremely cold months and places like Delhi and Agra may also experience thick fog in the mornings. The residents of these cities prefer February and March as the weather is nice and the flower gardens look their most attractive. The summer season in Rajasthan from April to June can be very hot but those who want to avoid the rush and also avail discounted rates for hotels can think of travelling at that time. The monsoon season which lasts from July to September draws out the green in the environment but occasionally the heavy rains may prevent the continuation of journeys.

 

Delhi – The political Capital of India

 

 

Delhi is a city that manages to blend the old and the new very skilfully and beautifully. It is a city where a historic building usually stands only a few steps away from a high-rise modern building, and where you can find a traditional street food vendor almost next to a fashionable cafe or a shopping mall. Visiting both the sides of the city ensures a complete glimpse of history of the city along with what the life of a modern Delhi is. 

 

Old Delhi, the historical blend
The building of the fort was started by Shah Jahan. Nearby is the Jama Masjid, which is not only a beautiful place of worship but also one of the largest mosques of India. A number of tourists enjoy exploring and shopping in Chandni Chowk which is a hectic market and famous for street food, spices, jewellery and ethnic dresses. A rickshaw ride along Old Delhi opens up a fascinating first-hand look into the local lifestyle and is strongly advised to the newcomers of the city. The city and its charm will take you to what India was during the Mughals and also how it evolved through the years and ultimately transformed a part of the city calling New Delhi. 

 

New Delhi- the glimpse of Modern India
New Delhi, the capital's part, is the one that without a doubt portrays the clean and modern image to the fullest. Usually, people associate this place with the broad roads, government offices, and numerous green parks. India Gate is probably the one that most people identify when they think of monuments dedicated to Indian soldiers. Yet, Rashtrapati Bhavan, the official residence of the president, is the one which stands out as the finest example of the great colonial style architecture. The historical monuments of Delhi have an irresistible charm. Besides its fine carvings, Qutub Minar being a UNESCO World Heritage Site is also recognized as one of the oldest architectural monuments in Delhi. Firstly, the Lotus Temple is a house of worship and its serene and tranquil environment in fact draws people from different faiths. Next, the building which has been designed like a lotus has in fact become a city symbol. Many recognize New Delhi as the city that is growing fastest in the world and for many it is the city that is having a legacy that makes it the capital city of largest democracy of India. 

 

Diving into Agra – the city of Love

 

 

Taj Mahal has turned into the most important identity symbol of India. This grand monument made of pure white marble was built by Emperor Shah Jahan in order for the love of his dear wife, Mumtaz Mahal, to be immortalized. This superb white monument is also seen as a symbol of everlasting love. Being at the Taj Mahal at sunrise is regarded as the ultimate moment because the gentle morning sun brilliantly brings out the features of the monument at the same time when the number of visitors is quite low. The marble changing shades at different times of the day is so enchanting as to be almost magical.

Being the most famous among the modern 7 wonders of the world TAJ has always been a favourite for the foreign travellers to come for a visit. For many it is the destination for their proposals for others it is the destination for their moment of love memory and for many a mini tour to what Royal Love means.

Mughal architecture has its own charm, its own curves and tombs and this is what Agra fort bears. It is one of the most picturesque Mughal Architecture till date. 

 

Fatehpur Sikri 
In a small distance the small town near Agra, Fatehpur Sikri was extensively remodelled by the Great Mughals and during the brief span of their reign they made it their capital. Still lacking water, the further abandonment of this city could have been avoided But it is a very well-preserved city. Buland Darwaza, Jama Masjid, and the royal palaces can be considered as the finest examples of Mughal architecture. On top of this, to boast more, Agra is very famous for marble handicrafts, leather goods, and petha as a sweet through which the whole town is recognized. 

 

Discovering Jaipur – The Desert State of India

 

 

Jaipur is the seat of political power in Rajasthan and is the largest city by population in the state of India. It was called the "Pink City" mainly because many of the old buildings of the city were painted in pink. Many people still see the country through the eyes of royal splendour and vivacious traditions which are reflected by the great architectural masterpieces.

It is definitely one of the top landmarks of Jaipur that are also quite popular in photography. Hawa Mahal or the Palace of Winds, to call it by its other name, is a single facade of a grand building in front of which windows are carved in a pattern very similar to beehives.
