Tourist circuit in India

For other uses, see Golden Triangle.

India's golden triangle is a tourist circuit in India that connects the national capital, New Delhi, with Agra and Jaipur. The trips usually start in Delhi and move south to the site of the Taj Mahal at Agra (in Uttar Pradesh state), then west, to Jaipur (in the desert landscapes of Rajasthan state). It is normally possible to do the trip by road, train or plane. The Golden Triangle is now a well-traveled route, providing a good spectrum of the country's different landscapes. The circuit is about 720 km by road. Each leg is about 4 to 6 hours of driving. The Shatabdi Express, Vande Bharat Express, and Gatimaan Express train also connects New Delhi with Agra and Jaipur.[1]
