About the Golden Triangle
The classic five days: Agra for the Taj and the fort, Fatehpur Sikri on the road across, two nights in Jaipur for the forts, and a day in Delhi before you fly.
Fatehpur Sikri was Akbar’s capital for fourteen years and then abandoned — the water ran out. It is the best-preserved Mughal city anywhere, and it sits almost exactly halfway between Agra and Jaipur.
