Over the years, the northern golden triangle, comprising of Delhi, Agra and Jaipur has gained immense popularity in the tourist circuits. These three states taken together provide a fascinatingly diverse image of Indian reality, ranging over beauty, historical significance and cultural depth. All three share a tremendous sense of history that is evidenced through spectacular monuments and architecture, yet each city is distinct in its own special kind of appeal.
