The land of the Golden Triangle, where the Mughals and the Rajputs left some of the most breathtaking monuments on earth. Read the walled Mughal capital of Old Delhi around its Red Fort, cross to Agra for the Taj Mahal and the red fortress where its builder was imprisoned within sight of it, and climb through the rose-pink planned city of Jaipur to the mirrored hill-palace of Amber. Some of the most crowded, touted, bucket-list sites anywhere, and all the better taken at your own pace, on your own schedule, lingering or moving on as you please.
