Jaipur & the Golden Triangle: Palaces of Rajasthan

The Golden Triangle is the classic first taste of India for a reason — it stacks the Taj Mahal, Mughal Delhi and royal Rajasthan into one tight loop. This guide gets you to the Taj at sunrise (the only time to see it), through Old Delhi by cycle-rickshaw, and into Jaipur's Amber Fort, City Palace and the bazaars where the block-printing and gems are real. I cover the driver-vs-train call, the spice-level and street-food reality, and the gentle-but-firm way to handle the constant attention. Intense, dazzling, unforgettable.
