The tourist sites of North India
The triangle formed by the cities of Delhi, Agra and Jaipur is the best known of the North India tours because it offers an incredible number of remarkable tourist sites. It features on almost all of the trips undertaken by those coming to India for the first time. However, many other destinations and places offer equally interesting and stunning tourist sites that should be added to any North India tour.
By North India, we mean anything that is located north of a Mumbai - Bhubaneswar line. Of the fourty Indian sites that are listed on the World Heritage Sites by Unesco, more than half are to be found in North India. That is how rich the northern part of the subcontinent is.
Depending on the traveller, stopovers combining centres of interest as diverse as culture, nature, architecture, history, gastronomy, forts and palaces, snow-capped peaks and sacred rivers, temples, national parks and nature reserves, tea plantations and many more can be added to any tour. If the list below is far from being exhaustive, we present to you the main tourist sites of North India, those which are a "must-see" and which must be included in your program. The most difficult part of the exercise will be to determine the region to visit since a single trip will not be long enough to contain all these treasures.
