Golden Triangle With Geejgarh

This triangle of three cities perfectly captures the pageantry of India. A gorgeous panorama of majestic architectural creations and a rich tradition of art and culture.

The marble symphony of Shahjahan's Taj Mahal, the imperial elegance of Lutyen's New Delhi, the splendour of the desert city of Jaipur. Every city offers its unique blend of sights, sounds and experiences. From the opulence of the Mughal empire to the vibrant life of modern India.

Delhi, being the capital and also a historical city of India, has a lot to offer. The most popular tourist spots of Delhi include Qutab Minar, Red Fort, Bahai Temple, India Gate and many more. 

 Agra, in terms of ambience is still associated with the Mughal period. With it’s laid back lifestyle & its immense wealth of architecture, handicrafts & jewellery, is amongst the most remarkable cities of the world.

Jaipur - the city capital in the tone of an autumnal. Sunset, literally blushed pink when Prince Albert, the consort of queen Victoria, stepped on its soil in 1833. Interspersing the plan of red and pink were white borders and motifs, painstakingly outlining the architectural highlights of Jaipur’s buildings. This is the only city in the world symbolizing the nine divisions of the universe through nine rectangular sectors subdividing it. The palaces and the forts of yesteryears that were witness to royal processions and splendor are now living monuments, accepted quite naturally into the lifestyles of the people of the Pink City.
