How many days are needed to travel the Golden Triangle:
I would suggest you to spend 4-5 days on the Golden triangle, if you are visiting India for the first time. The congested roads and bottle neck traffic will be first thing you will encounter on the roads and each leg will minimum take 6 hours and the three cities Delhi, Jaipur and Agra are on the vertex of the triangle. So if you don’t wish to rush up and if you are a savvy traveller 5 days are good enough. Delhi can be incredibly busy as it a mix of old imperial grandeurs to chandni chowk at an old quarter to shop and modern hangout places, so definitely spend 2 days here. For the ancient relics of the Mugal empire like the Taj Mahal and Fatehpur sikri, a day is good enough. Jaipur witnessing the incredible sights of Indian prestige also gives you a relaxed stay in the heart of royalty; spend at least 2 days here to make the most out of the pink city.
When is the best time to visit the Golden Triangle:
The northern cities of India are really hot during the summers, scorching heat and humid weather is not compelling for the travellers, you can plan a trip in winters as in during the day the temperature is between 22-25 Celsius. However during the peak winters it gets very foggy in the early morning and evening. So the best recommended month is March.
How to travel:
You can avail any of the means like by air, bus or the by train across the Golden triangle, land at the Indira Gandhi International airport and hiring a taxi is the best option as its very cheap and a personalised guide might help you with the local whereabouts. The three cities are well connected even by train and bus. For a comforted experience book with India tour package or the Luxury Golden triangle tour
