Overview 

Indian Golden Triangle Tour with Mandawa bring you the best of North India in just one week. From Mughal grandeur in Old Delhi to British sophistication in New Delhi, Delhi presents an amalgamation of various cultures it imbibed under prominent rulers in the past few centuries. Jaipur brings to life the times of Rajputs who led magnificent lifestyles in splendid palaces; patronage to arts, crafts, and music they extended to their subjects; and medieval notions of chivalry and valor that they upheld in its monuments, forts, palaces, traditions, and legends. Agra is the city of the famous Taj Mahal that has immortalized the love of Emperor Shah Jahan for his Queen – I live and in death. Mandawa – it is like an “open art gallery” of Rajasthan because the whole Shekhawati region and not only  Mandawa is dotted with attractive Havelis that have lavishly painted walls.
