First Time Visitors to Golden Triangle Trip

For first-time visitors to India, the Golden Triangle tour is an excellent way to begin exploring the country. While it's possible to quickly cover the three cities in a minimum of three days, this rushed approach might sacrifice some enjoyment. To make the trip more relaxing, consider using Delhi as just the arrival and departure point, skipping its detailed exploration. Simplifying the tour to focus on just three cities with one car makes it more manageable for newcomers who might feel unfamiliar with the country (although tourists are warmly welcomed and well taken care of in India).

One of the highlights of this tour package is the excellent connectivity among the three cities by road, rail, and air. Depending on your budget and the time you have available, you can choose the transportation option that best suits your ideal Golden Triangle trip.

Agra, famously known as the Taj City of India, is renowned for the iconic Taj Mahal, a masterpiece of Mughal architecture and a symbol of love.
