Have you ever thought of a journey though the destinations where historic structures stand face to face with contemporary edifices? Well this imaginative picture transforms into reality from the very moment you take up golden triangle tour. The three vertex of Golden Triangle Tour are Delhi, Agra and Jaipur, each of which resonates with the rich heritage of medieval India. Of several ways to explore the length and breadth of these three destinations, Maharajas’ Express is the most recent and luxurious option available on the scene.
The refurbishment of Maharajas’ Express journeys has led to the introduction of two golden triangle tours- Gems of India and Treasures of India - each of which makes a halt in tiger abode ‘Ranthambore National Park’ besides covering Delhi, Agra and Jaipur.
The sand of time might have brought several changes in the outlook of these cities, but they still houses the relics of medieval era which saw power shift from one dynasty to other. Talking about Delhi, the monuments like Red Fort, Qutub Minar, Humayun Tomb and Jama Masjid speak volumes about the Mughal settlements that were constructed after Shah Jahan succeeded the throne. On the other hand, there is Lutyens Delhi that might not differ from Old when it comes to distance but bears a huge contrast in terms of edifices.
Moving on your Golden Triangle Tour aboard Maharajas’ Express, there is Agra, the famous city of Taj. Agra is a perfect picture of bygone Mughal lifestyle apparent in its every nook and corner. The city is globally renowned as the home to Taj Mahal, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the Seven Wonders of the World. Other Mughal architectural jewels stored in the rich casket of Agra include Red Fort, Itmad-ud-Daulah tomb and Sikandra.
Before meeting its last vertex in Jaipur, Golden Triangle Tour aboard Maharajas’ Express makes a halt in Sawai Madhopur. The former hunting grounds of Maharaja of Jaipur, today, Ranthambore National Park is best known for its large tiger population. A game drive in the dense forests of Ranthambore will let you catch the different moods of royal cats in their natural habitat.
Last but not the least, there is Jaipur often referred to as the ‘Pink City’. The city has been entitled so due to the terracotta buildings painted in pink color to welcome the advent of King Edward in 1876. A stroll through the alleys of Jaipur will bring you face to face with magnificent structures constructed by Kacchawa Rajputs such as Amber Fort, City Palace and Jantar Mantar. Make sure to visit the colorful bazaars of Jaipur which display an exquisite collection of handicrafts, jewelry and souvenir items. If you are travelling aboard Maharajas’ Express, the Elephant Exhibition Polo Match and a royal feast will form the crescendo of the day.
A journey aboard Maharajas’ Express certainly elevates the charm of golden triangle tour with some exclusive insider experiences that hardly found elsewhere.
