Share

Traveling solo is just a magical and mesmerizing feeling, you can understand if you are also a travel enthusiast person, who wants to explore more new places and adventurous destinations. 

The thrill of discovering a new place and feeling the freedom in solo travel while creating unforgettable memories is truly so adventurous. 

Recently, I decided to scroll the famous Golden Triangle of India which is becoming the most visited and popular destination in India nowadays. The journey was looking so far, so, I invited some of my friends to join me on my admiring tour to India. It became an adventure-filled and memorable journey with shared laughter, stories, and a deeper appreciation for the vibrant culture of India. 

How to plan the Golden Triangle Tour from Delhi?

The idea to organize the trip became successful when we started our solo trip from Delhi to explore the majestic Golden Triangle of India. A solo tour requires a whole and careful planning, but a group tour with friends adds another level of fun, joy, and also responsibility. 

So, after some online research, we found Tripadvisor and started scrolling through their reviews of tour services. I stumbled upon one company namely Four Wheel Drive India Pvt Ltd. which stood out for its good reviews and personalizing tour offers. I decided to trust and consult with them to customize our Golden Triangle India Tour. 

To begin our valuable trip and a short break for all from our busy work schedule, they provided us with the best-customized tour itinerary as per our desires and preferences. The itinerary is going to start from Delhi- the capital city of India. Starting the journey with friends, made me happier and they are also looking so delighted by the tour. 

Day 1: Exploration of Delhi- A cultural and historical dive

Our journey began in Delhi, a city that has its own political and cultural significance having a vast history. Here, we are surprised to see that Delhi is balancing history and modernity both very well. We started our day from Old Delhi, where we visited Red Fort, a red sandstone-built fort, where every year, the prime minister hoists the flag, and scouted out the bustling market- Chandani Chowk. The narrow alleys of the market are overloaded with vibrant shops and food stalls. 

In the market, we tasted the paratha of one shop, that has been serving for decades. 

In the afternoon, we explored the Qutub Minar and Humayun Tomb, the stunning monuments intricated with Mughal architecture. 

Later in the evening, we explored India Gate, a monument that stands tall as a tribute to the nation’s soldiers. Our first day ended here with lots of exploration and a relaxing dinner at a rooftop restaurant 

Day 2: Discover Agra: the city of the Iconic Taj Mahal

As we started our solo tour from Delhi, so on the second morning, a comfortable drive took us to Agra. The marvelous symbol of love- The Taj Mahal was a beautiful sight to us, the white marble mausoleum left me speechless. The perfect picturesque spot proved for my friends and their excitement or reaction, was a joy in itself. The guide shared the stories and facts about the monuments and took us back to the time of Emperor Shahjahan. 

With amazed vibes, we went for the next monument- Agra Fort- a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the finest Mughal architecture. A red sandstone fort with mesmerizing views of the Yamuna River and intricated with grandeur design is a glimpse into the lives of Mughal emperors and ancient architecture. Likewise, we completed our second-day tour of Agra, with a delicious dinner. At night, we enjoyed ourselves in the hotel, with lots of talks, fun, and laughter. 

Day 3: Jaipur- The Magnificent Pink City

A scenic drive from Agra took us to our final destination of journey- Jaipur, the Pink City. The itinerary was effectively customized and also added an extended stop at Fatehpur Sikri. So, en route from Agra to Jaipur, we took a short stop to explore Fatehpur Sikri, a Mughal city and one of the UNESCO World Heritage Sites. 

It also seems one of the marvels places which was so architectural and beautifully intricated with the Mughal structure. 

After exploring, we didn’t want to spend more time there, so we continued our drive to Jaipur and at first, we scouted out the Amber Fort- a golden fort, in which the stunning Sheesh Mahal is intricated. The Sheesh Mahal left us enchanted by the view of breathtaking mirror work. Here we enjoyed an elephant ride throughout the fort and felt so welcoming. 

Later in the evening, when we were heading back to the city, we got to see the Jal Mahal, which was drowning in the water of Mansagar Lake. The sunset view from that point was looking so soothing and breathtaking. 

Ending of the third day is not just the end of our journey. We had more to explore here in Jaipur. At night, we checked into a hotel in Jaipur, explored the pink city side, and witnessed the enlightening Hawa Mahal. 

As we were so tired from the full day of traveling and exploring, we took a rest at night with more excitement to explore Jaipur, which is renowned for its royal culture, tradition, and architecture. 

Day 4: Exploring the royal culture and architecture of Jaipur.

The next day, in the morning, firstly we had breakfast and started our exploration soon, due to our friend’s flight was scheduled for the night to head back to their work schedule. 

Firstly, we strolled through the streets of Pink City while exploring the Hawa Mahal which is most popular in Jaipur. Later, we also took a visit to the Jantar Mantar- an astronomical observatory and City Palace- a museum that shows the lifestyles of the Rajput Kings and Queens.
