One of the most fascinating and enjoyed India tours of North India, Golden Triangle Tour comprises Delhi, the venue of Commonwealth Games 2010; Agra, the city of Taj Mahal, one of the Seven Wonders of the World; and Jaipur, the capital of Royal Rajasthan, land of Rajputs. This triangle has been dubbed “golden” for the extraordinary wealth of cultural and historical splendour on offer in each of these three cities that includes majestic architectural creations as well as rich traditions of art and culture.

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 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.

For this purpose, Delhi and its nearby tourist destinations are undergoing a complete makeover in terms of beautification, transportation development, upgrading of old structures and so on. Tourists can also pre-pone and postpone their visit to India to coincide with the Commonwealth Games 2010 so that they can optimize their tour experience.

Delhi – The Commonwealth Games 2010 will be held at New Delhi, the Capital of India. It is the starting point of the Golden Triangle Tours. Red Fort of Delhi is one of the most opulent Mughal buildings in the country. Interesting places to visit are Red Fort, Humayun’s Tomb, Jama Masjid, Rajghat, Lotus Temple, Akshardham Temple, India Gate, Qutab Minar, Birla Temple, ISKON Temple, Buddha Gardens, Safdarjang’s Tomb, Parliament House, Chandani Chowk, Connaught Place, etc.

Agra – Many people visiting India during the Commonwealth Games may have limited time and budget in hand and will prefer to see best tourist highlights of the country that are easily accessible and can be covered in a day or two. Moreover, they would not want to miss the Taj Mahal at Agra, only three to four hours journey away from them by road or by train.

Globally famous for its heritage attraction, Agra always attracts tourists coming from different parts of the world who come to explore its monumental charms. The city of three of the UNESCO World Heritage Sites – Taj Mahal, Agra Fort, and Fatehpur Sikri, Agra unleashes magnum opus of Mughal architectural skills to the world and hence is an important part of Golden Triangle Tour packages.

Shilpa Shetty, the controversy queen

Tags: , , ,


Website: www.zoomtv.in Be it fighting back against racial descirimination in Big Brother or yelling back at the furious mobd for protesting against the kiss with Richard Gere, Shilpa has always made her stance clear. Almost always. Recently, when a particular Kavita Kundhra alleged that Shilpa Shetty is the reason her husband walked away from her, there was no fiery justification or explanation from her end. Now silence has a lot of connotations. But we’ll just wait for Shilpa to declare to the world that they are just ‘good friends’. Even sister Shamita, who was all words during the time of Big Brother, suddenly seemed to be at a loss of words. Maybe she was preoccupied with better things to do, for instance promote her latest flick, Cash. Well, have you heard of fair weather sister?
