Famous forts in India I was always wondering what to see in India as an American tourist. What to do in India, what to see in India on my India tour. But when I travelled to India through Indiahistoricaltours.com.  I was surprised to see large and humungous forts & palaces on my India tour specially on Golden triangle tour. Each & every city has a fort which was the home of a King’s family. Each Fort is unique residential palace of the King. Unique architechture and designs.

I found Akash on google and when i sent him the querry to see india. I was clueless what he will suggest me and my family. He has travelled India widely for 10 years and came up with his unique itiniraries to start his travel company.

I first visited the Red fort of Agra also called Agra fort. All the action happened overhere during the time of Mughal empire. Mughals were second richet family in the world. The english dictionary has a word called Moghuls which means super rich that came from this family.

Mughal kings lived in the 300 royal palaces of this Agra fort. My guide Storyteller Sandeep was Phd student. He gave me detailed tour and opened my eyes and brain for India. The defence architechture was unique. This is made of Red sandstone. But inside there are many beautiful royal golden palaces of Mughal King. There are many designs which are similar to Alhambra spain.

Beyond expectation was Fatehpur sikri on other day of my golden triangle India tour. Storyteller Sandeep taught me that the first private court which discussed openly religious freedom here in 1585. This king Akbar who built this started a new religion and gave the concept of universal peace after getting inspired by Hindu religion philosopy called Vasudhev kutumbkam. Mughal king Akbar was contempory of Queen Elizabeth I. She was last in Tudar family. The East India company was founded. Philip II was King in Spain & Henry IV was ruling in france.

Next visit was Amber Fort in Jaipur. It is a Hill Fort. The Hindu King built the foundation of it in 12th century and other generations in 400 years completed it. The final outlook was given in 16th century. It is mix of Hindu architecture & Islamic architecture. What was happening in America during 16th century. The USA was founded in 1776 by founding fathers George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, and John Jay. 

But India is very old and its founding father is Hindu sage Ved Vyas, King Ashoka, Sage Shankaracharya & Svami Vivekanand, Netaji Subhash Chandra Bosh and Dr Bheem Rao Ambedkar.
