The Golden Triangle – so called because of the vaguely triangular shape which can be drawn between Delhi, Agra and Jaipur remains a favourite route for new comers to India, and justly so. After flying in to Delhi, it’s easy to spend a few days in the capital, drive up to the Taj Mahal and Fatephur Sikri at Agra, and then head west to Rajasthan. Within a relatively small space of time one can see some of the true wonders of India, the bustling megacity which is Delhi, the Mughal jewel of the Taj, and the desert splendour of Jaipur, sometimes called ‘the pink city’ because of the dusty colour of its stonework.
