Description
Your tour begins with a visit to Sayambhunath, also known as Monkey Temple named after the large troupe of monkeys the guard the hills. Perched on the hilltop, Swayambhunath offers a bird's eye view of the Kathmandu valley. There are plenty of other Hindu temples and a large stupa on the top, which is the major highlight of the tour. This unique synergy between Buddhism and Hinduism is difficult to find anywhere.

Purchase vegetables, aromatic spices, and any other ingredient you like, which latter can be used for your home-cooked lunch.

Golden triangle was helpful for us to visit three different destinations in three states of India with cultural differences. It was my honeymoon trip & we booked it from Antilog vacations. We enjoyed rickshaw ride in Delhi & visited Chandni Chowk, Red fort, Jama Masjid & Qutub Minar. Taj Mahal visit was a wonderful Honeymoon gift for both of us, we spent half of our day at Taj Mahal. We were surprised by flower decoration & Honeymoon cake with royal treatment at Jaipur.

We organized a family trip for a week; it was a tour of Delhi Agra & Jaipur. This was a leisure trip for the elders but at the same time educational trip for the Children. At Delhi we visited Qutub Minar, Lotus Temple, India Gate, Red fort & Akshardham Temple. Then we went to Agra there we visited Agra fort & Taj Mahal. On the way to Jaipur we also visited Fatehpur Sikari. Our last two days of the tour were in Jaipur, there we visited hawa mahal. Pink city, Jal Mahal & Amer fort. This tour was the result of Antilog Vacations tour planning. Thanks to Antilog for such a wonderful trip.
