Unlike its nefarious namesake, India’s golden triangle is tipped by Delhi, Jaipur and Agra, and cultivates tourism.

Jaipur’s Hawa Mahal designed for the harem to discretely observe street life, reminds me of Harrods.

From Agra and the Taj Mahal it’s 250 miles to Haridwar and the foothills of the Himalayas: 2 days ride to the mountain leg. Rajesh who runs Tony’s bike shop in Delhi says: –
“Agra towards Haridwar the roads are in mixed condition – good and bad both but there should be some adventure also.
All smooth and no bumps makes a ride dull.”

I think Tony knows his onions.
