Go on a Three day Golden Triangle Tour

Let me be the first to say that my wanderlust is never satisfied. I may spend the entire day seated in front of my computer, but my mind is always wandering to the places on my bucket list. And I never pass up an opportunity to take my body to locations my head has previously seen. I’m always ready to hit the road at the drop of a hat, whether it’s for long weekends, holidays, or a much-needed getaway. So, last month, I decided to take a few days off and get away from deadlines and boardrooms. The plan was to cross a few places off my never-ending list, so I selected a usually popular route with visitors from all over the country: the Golden Triangle.

Itinerary for a 3-day Golden Triangle Tour

My only focus was on locations that tell volumes about our country’s history and traditions; therefore, I devised an itinerary to reflect this. Here’s a day-by-day chronicle of my journey for you.

My starting place was Delhi, India’s capital. I went out to see Delhi’s cultural history after checking into one of the city’s inexpensive hotels. The following attractions were on my Day 1 itinerary:

Qutub Minar is a mosque in Delhi, India.

Qutub Minar had always piqued my interest when I first learned about it in school. This five-story, the 73-meter-high tower is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the world’s highest brick minaret. An outstanding work of art

Tomb of Humayun

The mausoleum holds the mortal remains of the second Mughal Emperor of India, Humayun, and is another UNESCO World Heritage Site in the capital city. The Humayun garden-tomb, also known as Maqbara e Humayun, was the first of its sort in India. Inspired by Persian architecture, this magnificent structure will take your breath away.

Hours: 6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.

Entry Fees: Indian Citizens – ₹ 30; Foreigner- Rs.500

Filming a video – ₹50

Temple of the Lotus

As its name suggests, the Lotus Temple is shaped like a lotus flower. It is a Baha’i place of worship open to individuals of all faiths. Against a backdrop of beautiful greenery

India Gate.

The India Gate was my final destination for the day. It is a military memorial dedicated to the 70000 British Indian Army personnel who died in World War. Amar Jawan Jyoti, a memorial established in honour of the troops who died in the Liberation of Bangladesh War in 1971, is located beneath the 42-meter high archway. The perpetual flame shines 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Entry Fee: free entry Hours: 24 hours a day, seven days a week

The good news is that several cafes and retail establishments surround Rajpath. I stopped at Andhra Bhavan, some 800 metres from the India Gate, for a refreshing coffee and a dish of spicy biriyani, as well as a few souvenirs from the streets.

Second  day 

The second day of my journey started on a high note as I checked out of my hotel and headed to Old Delhi to see some of the city’s architectural gems and the famed Chandni Chowk market.

Masjid Jama

I spent the early morning hours in the well-known Jama Masjid, and let me tell you, it was well worth it. Jama Masjid is one of India’s largest mosques, with an expansive courtyard that can hold over 25000 people. It was constructed in the 17th century at one million rupees by Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan.

7:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. and 1:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m.

Entry Fee: There is no entry fee.

The Red Fort

The iconic was the next stop on my itinerary.

One kilometre from Jama Masjid lies the Fort (also known as Lal Qila). For over 200 years, this mediaeval Fort served as the imperial palace of India’s Mughal Emperors. The stately 17th-century Fort, which spans 254 acres, is home to various exquisite monuments, including Mumtaz Mahal, Rang Mahal, Hira Mahal, Khas Mahal, and Moti Masjid.

Hours: 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.; closed Mondays

Indian citizens pay a fee of  ₹35 rupees per person to enter.

Raj Ghat

After that, I went to Raj Ghat, a tribute to Mahatma Gandhi, the nation’s father. The monument is highlighted by a black marble platform located in the middle of a lovely park on the banks of the Yamuna River. It’s true.

As I walked out of my hotel room on the third morning, I was overjoyed. Finally, there I was, ready to realise a long-held ambition of viewing the magnificent Taj Mahal in all its splendour! My day’s touring itinerary looked like this:

The Taj Mahal

The Taj Mahal, a precious treasure of India’s architectural history, left me speechless. Shah Jahan erected the ethereally gorgeous white marble monument to homage to his beloved wife, Mumtaz Mahal, a Persian princess. An internationally appreciated masterpiece, the Taj Mahal is India’s best example of Mughal artistry. But it’s first and foremost a hymn to everlasting love!

30 minutes before sunrise to 30 minutes before dusk; closed on Fridays

Citizens of India pay no entry fee.

Third day

I was excited to bask in the grandeur of the Pink City after a pleasant night at one of Jaipur’s excellent hotels. Day 3’s schedule was an unusual blend. Here’s a short rundown of my Jaipur sightseeing plans.

The Palace of the City

The City Palace is a magnificent structure that combines Rajput and Mughal architectural styles. The palace’s impressive constructions include Mubarak Mahal, Chandra Mahal, Maharani Palace, Diwan-i-Aam, Diwan-i-Khas, Govind Dev Ji Temple, and others all show the palace’s beauty and grandeur.

Jantar Mantar 

The Rajput ruler Sawai Jai Singh II built the Jantar, an astronomical observatory, in 1734. The world’s most giant stone sundial may be seen at the observatory. In addition, it has a collection of nineteen architectural astronomical instruments created by Sawai Jai Singh II in the 18th century.

Kanwar Nagar is the location.

Time of Visit: 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., every day

The entrance fee is ten dollars per individual.

Hawa Mahal 

Hawa Mahal is a one-of-a-kind building made of red and pink sandstone. The monument gets its name from the cooling effect on the inside of the chambers caused by the air coming in via the monument’s numerous tiny windows. This five-story pyramidal structure resembles a honeycombed hive.
