India's Golden Triangle is a tourist route comprised of visiting the North Indian cities of New Delhi, Agra, and Jaipur. I visited all these cities over 4 days by car. Check out the photos to get a taste of the rich cultural and heritage that may be found in these cities including but not limited to The Taj Mahal.

It is very rare that you meet a well rounded, well traveled, level headed person such as yourself. I am always interested and truly astonished by distant cultures and people.Unfortunately, I have not been able to fully explore these passions. But lucky for me, my very favorite girl cousin is well traveled and a official authority on all things about geography and different cultures. I am just wondering how much it would cost me to schedule a long weekend visit between you and my family? Maybe we can all go camping and you can share stories of your many endeavors with us. We would be awfully grateful and feel extremely rewarded. This could possibly be the trip that inspires one of my daughters to become a scientist or a international correspondent! Thank you for your consideration in this very important matter.
