Visiting Golden Triangle in India. Delhi-Agra and Jaipur. Any tips? Is it okay to wear shorts when entering the temples? Is the rail ride safe?

Lol.. Oh boy what happened here..

Anyway lakes have a nice trip and let me know if you need any info on Delhi & Jaipur... Never lived in Agra, only visited a couple of times so limited knowledge of that place...

Birt, I was thinking the same, since you posted it, I changed my mind... well, how about trying the Bermuda itself? :)

The temples I've gone to women had to be in salwar/saree and men in Mundu(ie the white lungi)/pants. Maybe it's different in the Golden triangle.

Being a romantic soul, I bought Mrs. Expat and her mother a lovely holiday in the Bermuda Triangle :O)

To the OP- yes Agra has The Taj but Jaipur and sorrounding area has got the best Forts and palaces..

Don't forget to stand on top of the Nahargarh Fort and have a beer... One of my best experiences EVER

IM I have never seen anyone being denied entry to a temple because of what dress one is wearing.. Shorts are fine as long as they are atleast knee length..

With the temperature dropping in these parts these days, it will take a brave man to wear shorts by the way.

I thought shorts were not allowed in temples WK?

Promoting family business maybe

Dont take any sweets from strangers/co-passengers in the train... it could be drugged... however friendly they may seem...

we did the triangle couple of years back,i recommend you take a package from any tour operator, we took the package from RBS travels.

i feel road is better than the rail,

and if possible change the order of your visit,delhi > jaipur > agra, coz once you visit taj in agra nothing in jaipur will look good(jaipur is wonderful though)

taj is best at dusk and dawn.....

i can go on and on ...................

train journey is safe but take care of our luggage and don't travel in sleeper class. no one will stop you from wearing shorts but u'll feel really awkward and maybe people stare at you.....
