India: Den gylne trekanten på 8 dager

India

Oversikt

The Golden Triangle is India's most-travelled route for good reason: Delhi's layered Mughal and colonial history, the Taj Mahal in Agra — best seen at sunrise before the heat and crowds — and Jaipur's pink-washed old city and hilltop forts. All three are linked by a fast, comfortable expressway or train, making it manageable even on a first trip to India.
