Agra
What to see - Visit the Taj Mahal, The Agra Fort and Fatehpur Sikri. If you organize the time well you can do it all in a day. If you are not in a rush take a day off separately for the drive to Fatehpur Sikri and enjoy the ruins of the Mughal city at leisure. You can also do some shopping in terms of leather goods and the world famous Agra Petha!Getting there is easy from Delhi. It is well connected by trains and buses. You can even take the daily flight out if you so desire. The most convenient train will be the Shatabdi which gets you in to Agra in the morning and you have the full day to do all the sightseeing and shopping you wish to do. Should you not wish to stay in Agra and want to return to Delhi the same day, you can catch the evening Shatabdi back to Delhi in the evening. Timings change seasonally for the train, so do check before you plan your trip.
Delhi
What to see - Explore the Glorious Past with the Red Fort and Qutab Minar and the Current Capital with India Gate and Rashtripati Bhawan. Many people believe that Delhi is the “Dil” or heart of India. A city which has in known history been razed to the ground and rebuilt at least seven times shows its resilient nature amicably to visitors.Getting there is usually the first stop or port of entry for most foreigners visiting India. However if traveling from within India you can rest assured that you will find a train, a bus or an airline flight which will take you there. In India all roads lead to Delhi.
Goa
What to see - The Sun, the Sand, and the Beaches: Could you ask for more? If yes, head out for the Casinos, take a ride in a motor boat to spot dolphins or take a shot at paragliding. If you want to sit back and relax, just settle down under a beach umbrella at a shack and let life come to you.
Getting there is easiest from Mumbai. You can take an overnight bus as exemplified in the old movie “Bombay to Goa”, or catch a train on the Konkan railways. You even have flights on a regular basis from most Indian metros.
Mumbai
What to see – Glamour from the Tinsel town of Bollywood and History of monuments such as the Gate Way of India woo you. If Delhi is the heart of India, Mumbai is the brain. The economic capital replete with the stock exchange that has an international reputation to bolster its claim to fame. It is also the city of dreams where millions go to try and make their own dreams come true.Getting there is a simple task with well matched connections for airlines, trains and buses from all major and minor cities in the country. The stark contrasts between the poorer areas and richer areas of the city leave you wondering about the great divide between the haves and the have nots. Yet it is a city which continues to fuel dreams for many in the Indian population. It is said that once you live here, you are spoilt to live anywhere else.
