After Delhi, the golden triangle journey in India continues the next day heading towards Jaipur capital of Rajasthan. It is the land of the Maharajas, Rajput warriors, colorful saris, and flamboyant turbans. Jaipur is also chaotic like Delhi although of a smaller size. Pink city the nickname of Jaipur, for the characteristic color of its buildings. The symbolic monument is the HawaMahal or Palace of the Winds characterized by its façade. A huge beehive of windows designed for the royal ladies who lived inside could observe outside without being seen. In addition to the HawaMahal, the city shines for its City Palace, the JantarMahal astronomical observatory. Around Jaipur, you can find impressive forts such as the Amber Fort the best known and most appreciated. Of minor importance are the Nahargarh Fort and the Jaigarh Fort. The most important religious sites are the Birla Mandir& the GaltaJi Monkey Temple.

After two days in Jaipur, visiting the pink city and its surroundings, the golden triangle tour continues in the direction of Agra in the state of Uttar Pradesh. During this journey, you can stop at Abhaneri and Fatehpur Sikri.

Abhaneri is famous for hosting a characteristic “chandbaori” stepped well. An extraordinary example of architecture, the place was designed as a water reserve. 

Leaving Abhaneri, you continue to Agra & 35-40 kilometers from the city stop of obligation is in Fatehpur Sikri. It is better known as a “ghost town“. Built by the great Mughal emperor Akbar, it was the capital only for 15 years and then quickly abandoned hence the name is “ghost town”.

Here you can also find numerous palaces, a courtyard, a large Jama Masjid mosque, an imposing entrance door BulandDarwaza& the mausoleum of Salim Chishti.

At the end of the visit, you arrive in Agra just for those who want to visit during sunset. The TajMahal is the symbol of love present in Agra, India. Visit the TajMahal mausoleum at sunset with the reflections of light on the white marble, although in our opinion, the best time is the sunrise also because it is still uncrowned.
