Short Summer Golden Triangle - 5D/4N

IndiaExperience the taste of India on this outstanding tour of the country’s most famous sights exploring the “Golden Triangle” in summer. This journey combines Delhi, one of the most historic capitals in the world, with the visits to the incomparable Taj Mahal at Agra and the final journey to Jaipur, the pink city of India which in its true sense is a living example of royal traditions of the times of the Maharajas blending well with the modern and urban town.

India – the very name conjures images of vibrant colours, mysticism, royalty; an amalgam of religions, a kaleidoscope of art and culture, all of which fi nd expression in the beautiful temples, sculptures and monuments. India is undoubtedly one of the most diverse nations in the world. It is a land of credible paradoxes and yet underlying the contrasts, there are patterns of continuity, an indefi nable essence that is quintessentially Indian. Much of India’s fascination perhaps lies in the fact that it is both a young nation and an ancient country rolled into one where past and present co-exist in a beautiful mosaic. A land of myriad images, the Indian subcontinent takes you from the towering snow capped Himalayas to the great Indo-Gangetic plains, the blazing Thar desert to the placid backwaters of Kerala, the enchanting walking trails of Kathmandu to the sapphire blue seas and miles of golden beaches of Goa. Travelling through the country is not just a journey but an experience of a lifetime. The rich tapestry that is India cannot be captured in a single word or expression. At times unbelievable, at times overwhelming and always Incredible! For a fi rst time visitor, India can be overwhelming at fi rst, but she gradually unfolds her rare delights. You may fi nd it in the centuries old temples, tombs and forts, in the exquisite crafts still made in traditional ways, in the riot of colours and aromas of its bazaars or in the sudden glimpses of its serene beauty that fi lters through the hustle and bustle of daily life. To explore India is to discover unending secrets to the mystery of life, to enjoy India is to celebrate the very fact of living.
