India's Golden Triangle comprising the three cities of Delhi, Agra, and Jaipur, is a celebration of some of the country's finest examples of heritage, architecture and historical grandeur. Combine the Golden Triangle tour with a visit to nearby national parks, and you have a winning combination of culture and nature. The best time to take the Golden Triangle tour with wildlife is during the months of October through to June, when the weather is temperate and the likelihood of spotting wildlife is higher. A minimum of 6 to 7 days is required to take the combination Golden Triangle and wildlife tour. One of the most popular guided tours of India, the Golden Triangle tour usually begins at India's capital city, Delhi, where one can experience the grandeur of several architectural masterpieces such as the Qutub Minar and the Red Fort. From there tourists can progress to Agra where the world's most famous monument to love, the Taj Mahal, is situated. The Golden Triangle tour then wraps up in the colorful city of Jaipur, famous for its blue pottery, handicrafts and grand fortresses.
Exploring the Land of Kipling's 'Jungle Book'
The UNESCO heritage Ranthambhor National Park is a must-visit reserve that offers the prospect of spotting the endangered tiger, while the Bharatpur National park is famous for its migratory birds from central Asia. It isn't unusual for tourists to extend their wildlife tour to cover the breathtakingly beautiful wildlife parks that can be found in Madhya Pradesh and Chattisgarh, the very places that form the backdrop of Rudyard Kipling's iconic 'Jungle Book'. Explore the grand Kanha and Bandhavgarh National Parks and catch a glimpse of the Indian bison, wild dog, tigers, leopards, foxes and spotted deer, among other animals. Many of the national parks in central India have the added feature of having examples of ancient architecture within them, which makes them a particularly exciting place to visit for history buffs.
