The Golden Triangle is a tourist circuit in India, which connects the three cities of Agra, Jaipur and the national capital Delhi. It has been given the name because of the locations of the 3 cities with respect to each other, and is one of the most popular multi-city trips in the country (probably due to the proximity of the 3 cities.)


It is well connected via road as well as rail, and the entire circuit is around 720 km, each leg taking around 4 to 6 hours (the Delhi-Agra leg probably a lot less, because of the superhighway connecting the 2 cities.)

Apart from the 3 major destination cities that we’ll be talking about here, the ‘Golden Triangle’ route, also has a lot of other small places to stop by and experience a bit more, like the temples and palaces of Mathura, the hidden step wells of Rajasthan, and a lot more.


This is one of the many reasons that a road-trip covering the Golden Triangle is one of the best ways to see it all. If you’ve got a week or two to discover the Indian cities in the Northern Plains, this is one trip that I strongly urge you to take. And take my word, you won’t regret it, and would probably treasure the memories of the trip for the rest of your lives.
