India's golden triangle is a tourist circuit in India that connects the national capital, New Delhi, with Agra and Jaipur. Tourists' trips usually start in Delhi and move south to the site of the Taj Mahal at Agra (in Uttar Pradesh state), then west, to Jaipur (in the desert landscapes of Rajasthan state). The trip can be undertaken by road, train or plane. The Golden Triangle is now a well-traveled route, providing a good spectrum of the country's different landscapes. The circuit is about 720 km by road. Each leg is about 4 to 6 hours of driving. The Shatabdi Express, Vande Bharat Express, and Gatimaan Express trains also connect New Delhi with Agra and Jaipur.{{Cite web |date=2023-06-03 |title=Experience India's magical Golden Triangle with some of the most memorable places to stay |url=https://www.glamourmagazine.co.uk/article/india-golden-triangle |access-date=2023-08-02 |website=Glamour UK |language=en-GB}}{{Cite web |date=2025-05-19 |title=A practical guide to exploring India's Golden Triangle |url=https://www.nationalgeographic.com/travel/article/a-practical-guide-to-exploring-indias-golden-triangle |access-date=2025-05-19 |website=Travel |language=en}}
