No four-day journey anywhere in the world concentrates as many extraordinary monuments as the Golden Triangle tour of Delhi, Agra and Jaipur. In Delhi an iron pillar forged 1,600 years ago stands rust-free next to the Qutub Minar — no metallurgist has fully explained why. In Agra the Taj Mahal contains optical corrections so precise that its minarets are deliberately inclined outward to prevent them falling onto the tomb in an earthquake. In Jaipur an astronomical observatory built in 1730 still tells the time accurately. This private Golden Triangle tour covers all three cities across four days with expert cultural guides who bring the full story of Mughal, Rajput and Sultanate India to lif...
Day 1- Heritage of Delhi
Qutub Minar
Our first destination is The Qutub Minar, a remarkable structure. Inspired by the Minaret of Jam in present day Afghanistan, Qutub-ud-din Aibak built the Qutub Minar to celebrate his King, Mohammad Ghori’s victory over Prithviraj Chouhan. Qutub-ud-din Aibak was a Viceroy when the construction commenced in 1199. In a remarkable turn of events, during the course of the construction he became the first Emperor of the Slave dynasty. The Qutub Minar was completed by Iltutmish in 1236.

Iron Pillar of Delhi
The Iron Pillar is a mysterious phenomenon. Built 1600 years back through forge welding, this 24 feet pillar weights 6 tons and is made of 98% wrought iron. The biggest mystery about this pillar that over a Millenia it has escaped rust. There is only a tiny amount of rust despite the pillar witnessing the ravages of time. The purpose of the pillar is also a mystery with some believing it to be a flag staff for the King, while others say it was a sun dial.
