The Golden Triangle - India 2016

The Golden Triangle - Delhi, Jaipur and Agra.

Delhi - capital of India
Jaipur the capital of the state of Rajasthan
Agra - the seat of the Taj Mahal

I used a tour provided by Intrepid:  Golden Triangle and like all my Intrepid tours met some wonderful people.



Katie, Sarah, Jill, Lucy, Kelly, Sara
Tim, Marie, Georgina, Tanya
Guide:  Javed
(Simon and Kristy got booted off the tour due to some issues)

Observations and Knowledge learned:

Men can hold hands and touch men in public but men and woman can never touch even if married it is only for the private home


16.5 million people just in Delhi

Culture of India men wear pressed pants and a pressed button down shirt, often tucked in with a belt. 

Friday lots of people /kids playing cricket in fields 

Lots of goats, sheep

Cows sacred - never eat or harm cows

Supposedly recycles everything - nothing goes to waste- however trash EVERYWHERE 

Not concerned about filtering the water as Indians can drink it, just not foreigners

Buildings are very block-ish.
