Ideal for those who visit India during the prodigious event and have limited time on their hands, Golden Triangle tour packages offer a snapshot of the evolution of the rich cultural, social, and religious fabric of the country from medieval period to its modern state. The three hotspots Delhi, Jaipur, and Agra have always been in favor with all the foreign and domestic tourists. The 19th edition of Commonwealth Games, to be held in 2010, present the right opportunity for Brand India to showcase its vibrant culture, traditions, heritage and tourism aspects on a global platform.
