A tour through the subcontinent of India is one like none other that takes you through centuries of history, mythology and such cultural and ethnic diversity that it makes you wonder how it all can simultaneously exist. There are a lot of tours that take you through that experience. However, here we focus on majorly two of those one of a kind experiences.
The Golden Triangle Tours
The Golden Triangle India itinerary usually goes around 3 major cities making stops in between and takes you through an experience immersed in the past and all things royal and all things truly India. The Golden Triangle Tours India takes you majorly through Delhi, Agra and Jaipur making brief stops at Fatehpur Sikri and Abhaneri.
Delhi and Agra are filled with historical monuments that tell various tales of the Mughal Empire that rules most of the Northern India for approximately two centuries from early 16th century to mid 18th century. You can visit the Red Fort, also known as Lal Quila which served as the residence for the Mughal royals. The fort gets its name from the red sandstone that the whole fort is made of. Also, you can visit Qutub Minar, a UNESCO world heritage site which sings a different saga of history altogether*. While you are at it, you can also visit Humayun’s tomb which is a mausoleum built for the Mughal Emperor Humayun and Jama Masjid which is one of the biggest mosques in the nation.
You can also get the opportunity to visit a memorial made for Mahatma Gandhi, the father of the nation. This memorial is Rajghat. Also, visit the local markets of Chandani Chowk which truly embodies the spirit of all things Delhi and is one of the largest wholesale markets throughout the country offering a plethora of local merchandise and lip smacking delights. The tour also gives you the opportunity to visit Agra: the town that houses the legendary Taj Mahal, a beautiful mausoleum that Emperor Shah Jahan built for his favourite wife, Mumtaz Mahal to signify his undying love for her. There are a few more historical monuments that can be visited around the town. The Golden Triangle Tour India also takes you to Jaipur and gets a chance to be treated as royally as you possibly can at the pink city while immersing yourself in the proud and valiant historical stories that surround these forts. You can also opt for a Varanasi Tour Package which is the same golden triangle tour with the extension making it a Golden Triangle with Varanasi tours.
South India Tours
Since we have talked about the glimpse of life and tourism around north India, this tour gives you a glimpse into the spellbinding scenic beauty that is the state of Kerala. Kerala is the state that is also called the God’s Own Country, and a visit can clear all your questions as to why. The tour takes you through a lot of places around the state, including Munnar, Periyar, Kumarakoram and Alleppey aongst many others. You can get the opportunity to visit the Eravikulam National Park in Munnar, which serves as the home for many exotic wildlife species including leopards, tigers, Indian bison and many more. You can also spot various migratory and other bird species throughout the National Park along with the rich flora and fauna. The tour also takes you Periyar wildlife sanctuary and the spices plantation around the town.
The highlight of the tour, though is the overnight houseboat tour through Alleppey which gives you the most picturesque views laden with long palm trees and narrow canals that takes you through the local villages, giving you a glimpse of their life and treating you to scrumptious local cuisine and to experience peace like never before.
