The Indian subcontinent is one of the “must have places” on your destination checklist. One of the major reasons behind that is the escape it offers you from your regular life and a glimpse it offers you into the world unknown since India, in terms of the culture and the ethnic diversity and the unity still, is like none other. Of all the major travel packages, the one mot chosen is The Golden triangle tour package.
The Golden Triangle tour package usually comprises of the three cities: Jaipur, Agra, and Delhi with brief stops at destinations including Fatehpur Sikri. The one under discussion is just a little upgrade making this tour even more special and wonderful and adding another aspect to it, that is, adding a tour to Ranthambore with the Golden triangle tour. Where the Golden triangle offers you a glimpse of India at its most colourful and at its authentic best with all the history laden in it, the addition of Ranthambore to the tour offers you the “golden” opportunity to also experience the rich flora and fauna that the country plays home to and if you are lucky enough, you get to spot the Bengal tigers. The tour begins at the capital of the country, Delhi. Delhi is home to some beautiful monuments and other amazing tourist attractions and is believed to be Indraprastha, the legendary capital city of the Pandavas in the Mahabharat, a great Indian legend. The city has seen an amazing amount of history since it has been around for centuries and also served as the capital for the Mughal Empire for a major period of time. That is also one of the reasons why many monuments are of the Mughal architecture.
The places to visit include the Red Fort, Jama Masjid, Rajghat, Qutub Minar, Humayun’s Tomb, India Gate and a few other places. Red Fort, popularly known as Lal Quila for the red sandstone it is made of is a beautiful majestic palace that served as the residence for the Mughal rulers and their families. Jama Masjid is one of the most majestic and the biggest mosques in the country. Humayun’s Tomb is the mausoleum for the Mughal Emperor Humayun. You can also pay a visit to Rajghat which is a memorial for Mahatma Gandhi, along with Qutub Minar which is another UNESCO world heritage and another beautiful historic destination. Also, if you have time to spare, you can visit Chandani Chowk which is the home to the true spirit of all things Delhi along with some really scrumptious street food and is one of the biggest wholesale markets in the country.
The tour then takes you to Agra. Agra served as the capital for the Mughal Empire before they shifted the capital to Delhi, and has some amazing Mughal architecture you can visit. One of the places to absolutely visit includes the Taj Mahal. Symbol of unending eternal love and beauty, Taj Mahal was built by Shah Jahan as a mausoleum for his favorite wife, Mumtaz Mahal. Built using ivory-white marble and sitting on the south bank of the river Yamuna, the monument is also a UNESCO World Heritage site. You can also visit the Agra Fort and the Itimad-ud-Daulah tomb (popularly known as Bachcha Taj).

You can get to visit the Amer Fort, Nahargarh Fort, Jaigarh Fort, City Palace, Jal Mahal and Hawa Mahal amongst other multiple amazing places.
