Golden Triangle with Khajuraho

Khajuraho,
the temple city of central India, is famous throughout the world for its exquisitely
carved temples in stones. Thousands of visitors and tourists from all over the
world flock together to envisage this immortal saga of Hindu art and culture
engraved in stone by shilpies (stone craftsmen) a millenia ago. Today, apart
from the temples, Khajuraho is a small village but a thousand years ago it was
a large city of the Chandelas, medieval Rajput kings who ruled over Central
India. Khajuraho is 595 km (370 miles) south-east of Delhi and can be visited
by air, rail or road. An overnight train journey from Delhi takes the visitor
to Jhansi, from where another morning train takes him to Harpalpur 85 km (53
miles) to the east.
Golden Triangle with Varanasi

Welcome
at "THE HOLY CITY VARANASI". Varanasi, or Banaras, (also known as
Kashi) is one of the oldest living cities in the world. Varanasi`s Prominence
in Hindu mythology is virtually unrivalled. Mark Twain, the English author and
literateur, who was enthralled by the legend and sanctity of Banaras, once wrote
: "Banaras is older than history, older than tradition, older even than
legend and looks twice as old as all of them put together". According to
the Vamana Purana, the Varuna and Assi rivers originated from the
body of the primordial Person at the beginning of time itself. The tract of
land lying between them is believed to be Varanasi, the holiest
of all pilgrimages.
The word Kashi originated from the word Kas which means
to shine. Steeped in tradition and mythological legacy, Kashi is the orignal
ground created by Shiva and parvati, upon which they stood At the beginning
of time. Varanasi is the microcosm of Hinduism, a city of traditional classical
culture, Glorified by myth and legend and sanctified by religion, it has always
attracted a larg number of pilgrims And worshippers from time immemorial.To
be in Varanasi is an experience in itself. An experience in Self discoveryan
ethereal oneness of the body and soul.
Golden Triangle with Corbett

Corbett
has aptly been described as the land of the Roar, Trumpet and Song. It represents
a scene of remarkable beauty. Corbett had the proud distinction of being the
chosen venue for the inauguration of Project Tiger in India. The rich bio-diversity
of the Reserve is partly attributed to the variety of habitat found here. Due
to the location of the Reserve in the foothills of the Central Himalayas, both
Himalayan and peninsular flora and fauna is found in the Reserve. The grasslands,
locally known as Chaurs, are limited.
The largest grasslamnd is the Dhikala Chaur. Some of the best grasslands including
the famous Buxor Chaur and the Beri Chaur were submerged in the Ramganga reservoir
in 1974. The areas made available as a result of the relocation of the villages,
Dhara, Jhirna and Kothirau in 1994 are being developed into grasslands through
habitat management.
Golden Triangle with Sariska

Sariska
Tiger Reserve lies in the Alwar district of the Indian state of Rajasthan. It
is a prime a tiger country. The forest is typical dry deciduous, dramatically
changing with the change in season. The terrain is undulating - plateaus and
wide valleys. Besides tiger, herbivores like spotted deer, sambar and blu bull
are commonly seen and found in a good density at Sarska.
Golden Triangle with Ranthambhore
The Ranthambhore National Park, at the junction of the Aravalis and the Bindhyas,
is a unique juxtaposition of natural and historical richness, standing out conspicuously
in a vast arid and denuded tract of eastern Rajasthan, barely 14 kilometer from
the town of Sawai Madhopur. It is spread over a highly undulating topography,
varying from gentle to steep slopes, from flat-topped hills (Indala, Doodh-Bhat
and Chiroli) of the Bindhyas to the conical hillocks (Lahpur, Nalghati, Khachida,
Anantpur etc.) to narrow, rocky gorges. An important geological feature, the
"Great Boundary Fault" where the Bindhyas were brought against the
much ancient Aravalis, passes from here.
Golden Triangle with Kathmandu

The
valley is situated at an altitude of 1,336 m above sea level and covers an area
of 218.sq. miles. The rich tapestry of the cultural heritage of Nepal is synthesized
in the Kathmandu Valley, the home of the ancient and sophisticated Newari culture.
The Newars are the indigenous inhabitants of the valley and the creators of
the splendid civilization of its three cities - Kathmandu, Patan and Bhaktapur.
The skillfully built temples and palaces, delicately engraved stone and metal
images, carved wooden columns and pillars, and the history laden shrines and
chaityas of these three historical cities stand testimony to the Newars's artistic
achievements.
Golden Triangle with Haridwar
Haridwar has very rich ancient religious and cultural heritage. In the ancient
scriptures of India, this place is well known by the name of Mayapur. This city
is also well known for many other things apart from the holy river Ganges. Haridwar
has privilege of having IIT at Roorkee, formerly known as University of Roorkee,
founded in 1847 as a first technical institute of India.
Golden Triangle with Rishikesh

Rishikesh,
also known as the 'place of sages' is Haridwar, at the confluence of the Chandrabhaga
and Ganga. It is believed that God by the name of 'Hrishikesh' had appeared
as an answer to the hard penances by Rabhiya Rishi and henceforth the place
derived its name.
Golden Triangle with Pushkar
For a devout Hindu Pushkar is a very important pilgrim centre, for one visit
to this holy place in a lifetime is highly prescribed. Brahma forms the great
Hindu trilogy of Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva, each symbolising the lifecycle of
birth, preservation and destruction. Brahma the creator is depicted as of four
bearded heads and four hands each holding a book of Vedas (knowledge). His vehicle
is the swan and his consort is Savitri.
According to the legend Pushkar means a pond created by flower, was formed when
Brahma dropped a lotus flower on the earth to determine a place for his yagna,
a holy sacrifice. The story goes that Brahma wanted to perform the yagna at
the most auspicious time but his consort Savitri whose presence at the yagna
was vital for its performance kept him waiting. Irritated by this Brahma married
Gayatri, a milkmaid and installed her instead.
Golden Triangle with Udaipur

The
city of Udaipur is a lovely land around the Azure water lakes hemmed in by the
lush hills of the Aravails.
A vision in white drenched in romance and beauty, Udaipur is a fascinating blend
of sights sounds and experience-an inspiration for the imagination of poets,
painters and writen. Its kaleidoscope of fairy tale palace lakes temples gardens
and narrow lanes strew with stalls, carry the flavour of a heroic past. Epitomising
for 1200 years.
