The Golden Triangle - Delhi, Agra, and Jaipur - is India's most popular tourist circuit. Here are 10 essential tips to make your first visit unforgettable.
1. Best Time to Visit
October to March offers the most pleasant weather. Avoid the scorching summer months of April-June when temperatures can exceed 40░C.
2. Book Taj Mahal Tickets Online
Skip the long queues by purchasing your Taj Mahal tickets online through the ASI website. This saves at least an hour of waiting.
3. Sunrise at the Taj
The Taj Mahal at sunrise is magical. The soft golden light illuminating the white marble is a photographer's dream.
4. Dress Appropriately
India is relatively conservative. Cover your shoulders and knees when visiting temples and religious sites.
5. Stay Hydrated
Always carry bottled water. The Indian heat can be intense, and staying hydrated is crucial.
