The historic cities of Delhi, Agra and Jaipur combine to provide travelers
with a glimpse into the majesty of North India's Golden Triangle, which
encompasses a wealth of architectural wonders.
The Hawa Mahal (Palace Of The Winds) and the City Palace, with its armoury
and museum in the 'Pink City' of Jaipur, will transport you to that
fascinating past. A definite highlight will be the thrilling elephant-back
ride to the dramatic hilltop fortress of Amber.
Enroute to Agra you will visit the deserted Mughal city of Fatehpur Sikri.
This massive habitat was abandoned due to lack of water. Today, it remains a
testament to the master builders of the Mughal Empire.
Finally, in Agra, you will see the fabulous Taj Mahal,explore the Red Fort
with its assortment of palaces, moats and audience halls. Of particular
interest is the marble balcony from where the imprisoned Shah Jehan looked
out at his marvellous creation, the Taj Mahal.
