Golden Triangle on Wheels Indian Railways

Itinerary

• Day 1 Arrive Delhi

  When you arrive at the airport, you will be picked up by our well experienced driver then drive for check in at your pre-decided hotel. The best location to learn about the heart of India and its people is in Delhi, which is known for its diverse and vibrant cultures, history, monuments, and heritage. Soon we will start our tour of the Golden Triangle with Indian railways.

• Day 2 Delhi to Jaipur (by morning train / duration : 5 hrs 16 mins)

  Early in the morning, a driver will collect you from your hotel in New Delhi and take you to the train station, where you will board an exhilarating air-conditioned, high-speed train to the Pink City of Jaipur. You will undoubtedly have a once-in-a-lifetime encounter. You can understand this by visualizing the railway as a town on wheels carrying everything imaginable. The duration of the train from Delhi to Jaipur route is approximately 5 hrs.

  On arrival Jaipur, check in at hotel. Take some rest then sightseeing of Amer Fort. 

  The former center of the medieval era is Amer fort, located 6.5 miles outside Jaipur, which we will visit today. Raja Man Singh began building the Amber fort in 1592 AD, and over the next nearly 200 years, it was enlarged by other kings.  The climb to the top of the hill, where the fort is situated, is a thrilling experience in and of itself.   When you finally arrive at the fort, you will be astounded by the magnificent sight that awaits you: gardens, marble castles, artwork, mirror work, murals, walls, carvings, and engravings. 

  You must stop by the Zenana courtyard while you are inside the fort. It is a separate women's house with one hallway but several rooms, created so that the Maharaja (King) could meet the wife of his choosing without the other wives noticing. 

  After touring the Amber Fort, we'll pause to take pictures at the floating palace, the Jal Mahal. 

  The remaining day is free for leisure. If you'd like, you can also explore some fascinating nearby locations, such as the Monkey Temple, which is an excellent spot to interact with amiable monkeys and is situated in the center of the Aravali Hills and a thick forest. .

  Morning after a delectable breakfast start your city trip at City Palace to experience the richness of one of India's wealthiest royal families, the Royal family of Jaipur. The building's style is a fusion of Mughal and Rajasthani design. The area is home to numerous exquisite buildings and venues. The Jaipur Royal family resides in the city palace, which also contains the Chandra Mahal, called the moon palace.

Two enormous silver containers, considered the largest silver objects ever discovered, can be found here. The Maharaj Sawai Jai Singh II Astronomical Observatory will be the next stop on the trip. A tool for computation is referred to as a "Jantar Mantar." The monument was constructed in 1716 and has 15 astronomical instrument complexes, one of which is still incomplete. Of these, 6 use solar light, and 11 use lunar and stellar reflection to operate.

• Day 4 Jaipur to Agra (by Train / Duration: 4 hrs 22 mins)

  Early in the morning, a representative from your hotel will collect you and take you to the train station, where you will board a comfortable, air-conditioned, high-speed train to Agra.  Breakfast will be served to you along the route, and the journey will take about 4 hours. Once you have reached Agra, the driver will take you to your lodging so that you can rest and unwind. The afternoon trip starts then.

  Get a tour of the Agra Fort in the afternoon—one of the three key forts the Mughal emperors constructed. Agra benefitted greatly from its fame and importance. When it acted as their capital, this vast, enormous fort served as the permanent home of the Mughal Treasury. 

  Visit the Itmad-Ud-Dulah tomb as well. (Baby Taj) 

  The Tomb of Itmad-Ud-Dulah, also known as the Baby Taj, is one of the less popular monuments in Agra and receives little attention or advertising, but it is still well worth a visit. In 1622–1628, his daughter, queen Nur Jahan constructed Itmad-Ud-Dulah, a mausoleum for Mirza Ghiyas Beg.  This structure, though smaller than the Taj Mahal in terms of area, is recognized as the Taj Mahal's forerunner.

  You'll be at Mehtabh Bagh as the sun sets to admire the Taj Mahal's spectacular setting on the other side of the river. The ornate 25-acre garden was initially intended to be a Moonlit amusement garden.

  Highlights : The evening will be your leisure time

There are many architectural structures throughout the globe, but what sets this one apart from the rest is the love story that inspired this monument of love and grief.
