Being popular tourist destinations, all of these cities have good hotels and tourism facilities too.
The famous Golden Triangle of India actually covers three most beautiful and charming cities of the country Delhi (the capital of India), Agra (the city of Taj) and Jaipur (the land of Rajput kings). Golden Triangle is actually a kaleidoscope that presents the Indian display in its most colorful forms and offers you a amazing vista of stately and flamboyant architectural buildings, forts and palaces with a legendary heritage and a lush and wealthy tradition of art and culture. Delhi has sprawled over the west bank of the river Yamuna, on both sides of the river. Bits and pieces of the glorious past survive cheek - by - jowl with high skyscrapers, posh residential colonies and bustling commercial complexes. Delhi has some of the finest museums in the country. Its boutiques and shopping arcades offer access to a wealth of traditional and contemporary crafts, from all over the country. These cities are certainly, the epitomes of Indian cultural, historical and architectural heritage and have all been the capitals of the princely states at least in the past. The blessed experience of viewing the world-famous monument of Shahjahan's love - Taj Mahal, the imperial, elegant and imposing buildings of Lutyens' New Delhi and the regal splendor of the desert city of Jaipur, will certainly leave an indelible expression in the deepest recesses of your heart.
The capital of Rajasthan, Jaipur is not only the gateway to the state; it is also the most natural place to begin a discovery of Rajasthan versatile attractions. For visitors new with its history, a little explanation may be necessary, since it will aid their understanding of one of the most fascinating cities of India. As a city, Jaipur is fairly young, less than three enturies old. It was laid out by Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II of the Kachchawaha dynasty from Amber which, less than10 Km away, was the former capital of the state. Markets and residential areas have bridged this gap so that, for all practical purposes, Jaipur includes Amber within its sway. Jaipur was color washed pink to generate an impression of red sandstone buildings of Mughal cities. The current color which is redder than pink was painted in 1876, during the visit of Prince of Wales. The city is best explored on foot and only the adventurous visitor willing to go into the Rastaas and Galis (inner lanes) can feel the spirit of the city. There's an amazing appeal to Jaipur's colorful bazaars, beautifully laid out gardens, parks & the monuments.
