Hidden Treasures En Route Golden Triangle, India

India’s Golden Triangle comprises the three most visited cities of the north-west region of India–Delhi, Agra, and Jaipur. On a map these three cities look like the three vertices of an equilateral triangle; that’s where the name comes from. Delhi , Jaipur , and Agra are well connected to each other by roads and are full of attractions famed across the world. Besides the usual attractions, there are a lot of hidden treasures en route the Golden Triangle as well. Read on to know about a few of them:

Neemrana Fort En Route Delhi-Jaipur

Settled 110 kilometres away from Delhi on the Delhi-Jaipur highway, Neemrana is an ancient historical town in Alwar, Rajasthan. Neemrana is famed for the Neemrana Fort Palace that was built in 15 th Century and was restored in the mid 1980s. It is one of the best heritage hotels to have come up in Rajasthan and has gradually become a famous getaway destination. The fort embodies seven palace wings built in 14 layers tiered into a hill across 6 acres. Boasting the hanging gardens, two cascading pools, breathtaking views, an Ayurvedic spa, and zip-line adventure – it is one of the most unique resorts near Delhi.

Chand Baori En route Jaipur-Agra

The Chand Baori is one of the world’s biggest and most beautiful stepwells situated in the Abhaneri village of Rajasthan. This fascinating structure was built by King Chanda in 800 AD. The precise arrangement of 3,500 steps across 13 floors reflects the grandiosity of the place. On one side of the well there is a pavilion and a resting room for the royals. The sight has also been used as a location in popular movies like The Fall and Batman The Dark Knight Rises. At the bottom of the well, the temperature is almost 5-6 degrees lesser than at the surface

ISKCON Temple En Route Agra- Delhi

Also knows as Krishna Balram Temple locally, the ISKCON Temple is located in Vrindavan, a town in Mathura district of Uttar Pradesh. The town is nearly a 75-kilometre drive from Agra and 10 kilometres from Mathura which is the birthplace of Lord Krishna. The temple was established in 1975 by the founder of the world renowned religious society–the International Society for Krishna Consciousness–ISKON.  This beautiful temple is wholly made out of marble and attracts devotees and tourists from all over the world.

5* review is for 'Customer Care Agent' Miller

This 5* review is for 'Customer Care Team' Miller who has gone above and beyond to guide me in a post-covid ticket and credit situation, which up until he being brought on to help me, was causing a lot of trouble. Miller is attentive, swift and kind and my faith in the travel system has been restored because of him! Thank you Miller for all your support over the last few months in getting this case sorted, I really appreciate it

Dear Meera, It feels so good to hear that our customer care team, and Miller, in particular, were able to assist you and make a positive difference during these challenging times.

Very well organised India Holiday

We booked with Southall Travel for a 12 day India tour, including Delhi, Agra, Jaipur, Jodhpur, Udaipur and Mumbai. Southall organised the complete holiday package in India, including the hotels, tour guides, car and driver. Wholeheartedly recommended Southall. We had a fantastic holiday, saw some fantastic sights and stayed in some lovely hotels. From arriving in India and Delhi to leaving from Mumbai the organisation was flawless. The local representatives, the tour guides and hotels were all very good. I would like to say a special thank you and mention of our driver Ashish Gandhi. A very safe driver that brought an air of calm to the car despite the adventure of India’s roads. Ashish was though so much more than a driver. Our tour guide on the driving days. Our minder, restaurant finder and booker. And a companion. He really made the holiday. Again thank you Southall travel the holiday was everything we had hoped for and so much more.

Avoid - no customer care after booking

I booked a business class classic tickets on Qatar airways for my elderly parents as a surprise. These were very expensive but i wanted to ensure they had the best experience flying to India. I had to change my mothers flight dates as she was unwell. Unknown to me, Southall travel rebooked on a lower class fare even though i paid £860 for the change and had tickets where i could make changes. I have been unable to talk to a supervisor to resolve this, even after being told multiple times someone will call back. They are quick to take your money with no actual service level. I should have booked direct with the airline. Absolutely shocking and i will be complaining to trading standards. I would not use them again.

Date of experience : October 28, 2023

Dear Bally, We are keen to understanding your concern more thoroughly and we assure you that we will work diligently towards offering you a resolution. We kindly request that you email us with your booking reference.

Golden Triangle in India is the route between Delhi , Agra and Jaipur . It's named for the almost-equilateral triangle that the three cities make when plotted on a map. Starting in the capital, Delhi, and taking in the states of Uttar Pradesh and Rajasthan , it’s India’s most well-trodden tourist track. Why “Golden”? Well, for the extraordinary religious and historical sights that the three stops offer.

Planning a trip on your own can be an overwhelming task - hours spent researching, comparing options and often ending up with a generic itinerary. Our India travel experts carefully consider every detail, from selecting the perfect destinations to designing exclusive experiences that match your desires. You no longer have to worry about logistics, accommodation or missing out on hidden attractions. We will have everything covered.

Discover the world of tailor-made travel with our personalised travel service . 

Start in New Delhi

Begin your exploration of the Golden Triangle by immersing yourself in the modern area of New Delhi. Its wide, tree-lined avenues and solid colonial architecture, have been the seat of the central government since 1931.

At its hub, the royal mall, Rajpath, runs from the palatial Rashtrapati Bhavan, in the west, to the India Gate war memorial in the east. It's wide, grassy margins are a popular meeting place for families, picnickers and courting couples.

North of the Rajpath lies busy Connaught Place, one of the city’s most important hubs for dining and drinking; further south, Khan Market is a more chilled-out version of the same, with some great sights on its periphery.

On this tailor-made Essential Golden Triangle trip , you will explore India’s dusty capital Delhi, taking in the Qutab Minar, crowded bazaars and opulent temples before venturing forth to Agra to see the venerable Taj Mahal. Then decamp to the pink city, Jaipur, for an intoxicating introduction to Rajasthan.

Visit Old Delhi

Your exploration of the Golden Triangle in India wouldn't be complete without venturing into the captivating world of Old Delhi, also known as Shahjahanabad.

Though it’s not in fact the oldest part of Delhi, the seventeenth-century city of Shahjahanabad, built for the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan, is known as Old Delhi. It boasted a beautiful main thoroughfare, Chandni Chowk; an imposing citadel, the Red Fort (Lal Qila); and an impressive congregational mosque, the Jama Masjid.

Today much of the wall has crumbled, and of the fourteen gates only four remain, but it’s still a fascinating area, crammed with interesting nooks and crannies, though you’ll need stamina, patience, time, and probably a fair few chai stops along the way to endure the crowds and traffic.

Get amazed by Agra

Prepare to be awe-struck as you make your way to the magnificent Taj Mahal , Agra 's premier sight and one of the most romantic places in the world .

Nothing can really prepare you for the sheer scale and regal splendour of the structure up close. Try to time your visit with sunrise or sunset, when the Taj is at its most majestic. Nearby Agra Fort is also well worth a visit. You can spot the Taj Mahal rising up in the distance from its walls.

Stay in the most beautiful hotels, and have a knowledgeable private tour guide by your side all throughout this unique tailor-made trip to the Gems of India & Taj Mahal . Visit highlights like the Taj Mahal but also unknown areas like the villages in Rajasthan for nature, wildlife and cultural encounters unique to India.

Discover Fatehpur Sikri

The ghost city of Fatehpur Sikri, the former imperial capital of the great Mughal emperor Akbar, straddles the crest of a rocky ridge on the Agra–Jaipur highway. The reasons for the city’s abandonment remain enigmatic. The more likely explanation is that the city was simply the victim of the vagaries of the empire’s day-to-day military contingencies.

Shortly after the new capital was established, the empire was threatened by troubles in Punjab, and Akbar moved to the more strategically situated Lahore to deal with them.

These military preoccupations kept Akbar at Lahore for over a decade, and at the end of this period, he decided, apparently for no particular reason, to return to Agra rather than Fatehpur Sikri. You, on the other hand, might decide to do the opposite: an increasing number of tourists are using Fatehpur Sikri as a base and travelling into Agra on a day trip.

From Dehli's bustling dusty streets to 'the pink city' of Jaipur and Agra's Taj Mahal, this tailor-made trip from the Ganges to the Golden Triangle ensures you experience all of India's Golden Triangle highlights. You'll visit sacred Varanasi on the banks of the Ganges and Khajuraho's famous temples too.

Marvel at Jaipur 's architecture

You might want to spend 2 days in a flamboyant showcase of Rajasthani architecture. Jaipur has long been established on tourist itineraries as the third corner of India’s “Golden Triangle”, along with Agra and Delhi. At the heart of Jaipur lies the Pink City, the old walled quarter, whose bazaars rank among the most vibrant in Asia, renowned for their textiles, jewellery and Rajasthani handicrafts.

Wander around the centre to stumble across historical highlights such as Hawa Mahal and the impressive City Palace . Jaipur is well known for traditional crafts and designs, so it’s the place to shop for fabrics and presents to take home.

On the second day of your visit to Jaipur, venture into the leafier and less hectic area south of the Pink City. This area is home to the Ram Niwas Gardens and Central Museum. The city’s outskirts are dotted with a string of intriguing relics of royal rule, most notably Nahargarh Fort, the cenotaphs at Royal Gaitor, and the temples (and monkeys) of Galta.

Additionally, forts, palaces, temples and assorted ruins from a thousand years of Kachchwaha history adorn the hills and valleys near Jaipur. The superb palace at Amber provides the most obvious destination for a day trip, easily combined with a visit to the impressive fort of Jaigarh.

End in South Delhi

A great way to end your Golden Triangle journey would be to return to Delhi, specifically to explore South Delhi. Most of the early settlements of Delhi, including its first city at Qila Rai Pithora are to be found not in “Old Delhi” but in South Delhi, the wide area south of Lutyens’ carefully planned boulevards.

The rapid expansion of suburban Delhi has swallowed up what was previously the countryside, with whole villages being embedded within it. The area is now home to some of the city’s newest and most happening locales, most pertinently Hauz Khas Village, a lakeside area filled with shops, bars and restaurants.

Throughout the Golden Triangle in India, the best way to escape from the throng is often to step into one of the many Hindu, Sikh and Muslim buildings scattered around the cities. Inside, you will find oases of calm, as well as some of the circuit’s most beautiful structures.

In Delhi, just a short drive away from the city centre, visit Swaminarayan Akshardham. This Hindu temple was built in 2011 using traditional methods, but it's grandness and intricate decoration evoke a far older era. It’s a huge complex, and photography is banned. This gives a welcome opportunity for peaceful reflection away from the selfie sticks and smartphones snapping away in most of the city’s monuments.

The Taj Mahal and Agra Fort are invariably jam-packed, so consider taking a day trip to nearby Fatehpur Sikri if you really want to get away from it all. The small city was once the capital of the Mughal Empire. It's an hour from Agra, and the grand, red sandstone Jodha Bais palace buildings and imposing Jama Masjid mosque remain comparatively less visited.

Jaipur is the least hectic of the Golden Triangle’s cities. Just wandering around the backstreets you’ll be able to find yourself off the main tourist track. Outside the city, Nahargarh Fort gives the best viewpoint over the sprawling streets. A visit to Galtaji is an entertaining opportunity to admire the hundreds of rhesus macaque monkeys that have taken over the ancient temple complex.

The Golden Triangle in India is well connected by public transport. If you’re on a strict budget, the cheapest way to travel is by bus. Indian bus journeys are an experience in their own right, as people tumble in, perching on armrests and sitting in the aisle.

Far and away the best way to travel around India's Golden Triangle is by train . You’ll have the opportunity to catch a glimpse of rural India as you roll through the countryside. Book your ticket in advance, either online or at a train station.

Otherwise, if you only have a few days, consider hiring a taxi from a government-approved company to take you around, allowing you to see as much as you can in the time available.

Within the cities, take an autorickshaw (or tuk-tuk) between destinations. Thick traffic makes these small vehicles the most effective way to travel, as they dip and dive between taxis and trucks. They can be hair-raising, but also fast, inexpensive (make sure you agree on a price beforehand) and a fun way to see India's Golden Triangle at its most chaotic.

Not everyone gets ill while touring the Golden Triangle in India, but it can put a downer on your holiday. The so-called “Delhi belly” comes from drinking unsafe water. The cheapest and most environmentally friendly strategy to avoid it is to use water purification tablets. If you struggle with the taste, bottled water is also readily available (just ensure that the lid is sealed).

Make sure your food is always hot and freshly cooked. Avoid raw fruit and vegetables, which may have been washed in unfiltered water. Finally, don't worry too much and you’ll be able to make the most of the delicious curries and Indian snacks on offer.

Deciding when to travel to the Golden Triangle in India can be complicated, due to its extremely varied weather. India’s seasons are split into the wet, humid monsoon season, and the dry, cool season.

The best time to visit the Golden Triangle is November to March when the majority of the country is at a comfortable temperature with good weather. Delhi, Agra, Rajasthan and Varanasi are perfect for a visit in this period.

October and November are suitable times to visit Delhi and the Golden Triangle, as there are more bearable temperatures, similar to February and March. However, during October and November, you may encounter a lot more tourists at popular sites and landmarks. Crowds can become a nuisance for places like the Red Fort or the Taj Mahal. Both domestic and international tourists visit the capital at this time.

Touring the Top 10 Moscow Metro Stations

By Claudia Looi 2 Comments

Komsomolskaya metro station looks like a museum. It has vaulted ceilings and baroque decor.

Hidden underground, in the heart of Moscow, are historical and architectural treasures of Russia. These are Soviet-era creations – the metro stations of Moscow.

Our guide Maria introduced these elaborate metro stations as “the palaces for the people.” Built between 1937 and 1955, each station holds its own history and stories. Stalin had the idea of building beautiful underground spaces that the masses could enjoy. They would look like museums, art centers, concert halls, palaces and churches. Each would have a different theme. None would be alike.

The two-hour private tour was with a former Intourist tour guide named Maria. Maria lived in Moscow all her life and through the communist era of 60s to 90s. She has been a tour guide for more than 30 years. Being in her 60s, she moved rather quickly for her age. We traveled and crammed with Maria and other Muscovites on the metro to visit 10 different metro stations.

Arrow showing the direction of metro line 1 and 2

Moscow subways are very clean

To Maria, every street, metro and building told a story. I couldn’t keep up with her stories. I don’t remember most of what she said because I was just thrilled being in Moscow.   Added to that, she spilled out so many Russian words and names, which to one who can’t read Cyrillic, sounded so foreign and could be easily forgotten.

The metro tour was the first part of our all day tour of Moscow with Maria. Here are the stations we visited:

1. Komsomolskaya Metro Station  is the most beautiful of them all. Painted yellow and decorated with chandeliers, gold leaves and semi precious stones, the station looks like a stately museum. And possibly decorated like a palace. I saw Komsomolskaya first, before the rest of the stations upon arrival in Moscow by train from St. Petersburg.

2. Revolution Square Metro Station (Ploshchad Revolyutsii) has marble arches and 72 bronze sculptures designed by Alexey Dushkin. The marble arches are flanked by the bronze sculptures. If you look closely you will see passersby touching the bronze dog's nose. Legend has it that good luck comes to those who touch the dog's nose.

3. Arbatskaya Metro Station served as a shelter during the Soviet-era. It is one of the largest and the deepest metro stations in Moscow.

Arbatskaya Metro Station

4. Biblioteka Imeni Lenina Metro Station was built in 1935 and named after the Russian State Library. It is located near the library and has a big mosaic portrait of Lenin and yellow ceramic tiles on the track walls.

5. Kievskaya Metro Station was one of the first to be completed in Moscow. Named after the capital city of Ukraine by Kiev-born, Nikita Khruschev, Stalin's successor.

Kievskaya Metro Station

6. Novoslobodskaya Metro Station  was built in 1952. It has 32 stained glass murals with brass borders.

7. Kurskaya Metro Station was one of the first few to be built in Moscow in 1938. It has ceiling panels and artwork showing Soviet leadership, Soviet lifestyle and political power. It has a dome with patriotic slogans decorated with red stars representing the Soviet's World War II Hall of Fame. Kurskaya Metro Station is a must-visit station in Moscow.

8. Mayakovskaya Metro Station built in 1938. It was named after Russian poet Vladmir Mayakovsky. This is one of the most beautiful metro stations in the world with 34 mosaics painted by Alexander Deyneka.

9. Belorusskaya Metro Station is named after the people of Belarus. In the picture below, there are statues of 3 members of the Partisan Resistance in Belarus during World War II. The statues were sculpted by Sergei Orlov, S. Rabinovich and I. Slonim.

10. Teatralnaya Metro Station (Theatre Metro Station) is located near the Bolshoi Theatre.

An excellent read! Thanks for much for sharing the Russian metro system with us. We're heading to Moscow in April and exploring the metro stations were on our list and after reading your post, I'm even more excited to go visit them. Thanks again 🙂
