Located in the north of India is The Golden Triangle, a tourist circuit that includes Delhi, Agra and Jaipur. Although, it sounds like a smaller circuit it still offers the best experience that one can have in a limited space of a 5-6 days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<p>If you are traveling India for a week this would be an ideal way to peak into Indian landscape, terrain, culture and food. The Golden Triangle gets its name from their geographical location on the map. The entire circuit is around 621 miles in distance and it offers the best travel experience that one can get while traveling in the northern part of India. One of the reasons why The Golden Triangle is so popular with local and &nbsp;international travelers is because it offers a wider spectrum of country\u2019s landscapes, culture, food and architecture in a single trip. So, let\u2019s start with our trip of The Golden Triangle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>New Delhi<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/indiadestinationsblog.files.wordpress.com\/2014\/11\/india-gate.jpg\" data-rel=\"penci-gallery-image-content\" ><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1037\" height=\"691\" src=\"https:\/\/indiadestinationsblog.files.wordpress.com\/2014\/11\/india-gate.jpg?w=690\" alt=\"India Gate\" class=\"wp-image-1855\" srcset=\"https:\/\/travelindiadestinations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/india-gate.jpg 1037w, https:\/\/travelindiadestinations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/india-gate-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/travelindiadestinations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/india-gate-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/travelindiadestinations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/india-gate-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/travelindiadestinations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/india-gate-585x390.jpg 585w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1037px) 100vw, 1037px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">India Gate in New Delhi<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Old Delhi was previously called Shahjahanabad as it was built by Shahjahan to be his capital city.

The inscriptions on the gate in Persian reads as follows: Jesus, the Son of Mary said, The world is a Bridge, pass over it, but build no houses upon it. He who hopes for a day, may hope for eternity; but the World endures but an hour. Spend it in prayer for the rest is unseen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It also has Pachisi courtyard that looks like a giant game board where the Emperor would play chess. The name of this ghost city \u2013 Fatehpur Sikri is derived from a Persian word \u201cFateh\u201d which means victory while the local red sandstone is called Sikri. So, the word Fatehpur Sikri actually means \u2013 Red Sandstone City of the Victorious.
