India's Golden triangle Delhi/Agra/Jaipur

I am now going to tell you about my experience doing Delhi/Agra/Jaipur golden triangle. I just came back from this amazing tour, one of the wonders of the world and it is true what they say.  My tour started with a quick 1/2 day tour in Delhi visiting New Delhi where the british were established in most of the area. New Delhi is unbelievably busy with an incredible amount of cars, bikes, rickshaws, buses all muddled up together. Although the driving is scary, drivers respected each other and somehow knows who goes first. We visited mini Taj Mahal in Delhi and the place where Mahatma Gandhi was murdered now a very peaceful garden and museum.  Overnight at the lovely Claridges hotel.

The next day, we were leisurely transferred to Agra by coach, on arrival we were upgraded to The Oberoi in Agra and were given a room overlooking the Taj Mahal. WOW, what a wonderful hotel!!  It was the most amazing feeling and we thought that we had won the lottery.  The Oberoi is a small 5*+ boutique low rise hotel with outstanding views of the Taj Mahal from every room.  I had the best indian dinner from the Oberoi.  I just cannot describe it to you, everything was magical.

The Taj Mahal itself is simply STUNNING.  Everyone should go and see it if they can.  It is unbelievable to see such beauty built in the 15th century, a building that took over 21 years to build and it is in such pristine condition.  All built by hand and elephants carrying all the marble.  As you can probably tell, the whole Agra experience is by far my highlight and my favourite part of my trip.  A must see!!

On one of the pictures you will see a huge bathtub with steps on the side of the bathtub. This was used by the king in those days.

The next day, we took a 7 hour drive to Jaipur, the pink city, visited Amber fort on an elephant back, City Palace, the Observatory.  Jaipur is a very different city with lots of architecture, history, forts, palaces and lakes. Jaipur is a very rich city as they have everything there.

Finally we ended our tour in Delhi, visiting and watching a beautiful musical bollywood show at the Kingdom of Dreams. Everyone should watch this, it is sooo much fun.
