5. Tomb of I'timād-ud-Daulah


Another incredible mausoleum in Agra is the Tomb of I'timād-ud-Daulah which is also known sometimes as baby Taj. This mausoleum represents to unique architectural designs of the Mughals. These designs were also used in the construction of the Taj Mahal and there are many similarities between the two. Visiting both the mausoleums is a great way to see how I'timād-ud-Daulah influenced one of the famous buildings in the world.

6. Agra Fort


Another often overlooked gem you must-visit in Agra is the Agra Fort, a massive walled city that is made up of red sandstone which dominated Mughal architecture during the time of his construction in 1573. The fort served as the capital of the Mughal Empire but its defenses was cut through several times and fell to the British in the 19th century. It's one of the breathtaking locations you will visit in Asia and it's well worth the trip to Agra.

Jaipur

It's now time for you to make your Golden Triangle journey to the righteous standing capital of Jaipur. Also known as the Pink City because of its Rossington many of its buildings have, Jaipur was founded in 1727 and is considered an early example of a planned Indian city.

7. City Palace


When you go to Jaipur a stop at the City Palace is a must. This gorgeous complex was built between 1729 and 1732. The city palace is a mix of Mughal and Rajput architectural styles though some of its buildings have Islamic and European influences. The Chandra Mahal which serve as the home of the royal family is also located within the complex along with a museum, an art gallery, a temple dedicated to Lord Krishna and gates dedicated to the Hindu gods Vishnu, Shiva, Ganesha, and Devi.

8. Try Rajasthani Food


One of the best culinary experiences you could have in Jaipur is trying authentic Rajasthani food. The most delicious example is the Rajasthan Thali. I had dozens of Thalis in India but I've never had one quite like this Thali that consists of a large ball of bread which my waiter crumbled onto a plate before he mixed in several curries, vegetables and yogurt to create a flavorful and unique omelet like mixture. The flavors blew my mind and had my taste buds craving more with each bite.

9. Hawa Mahal


Located on the edge of the City Palace is Hawa Mahal, one of Jack Porter's most famous and most beautiful buildings. Also known as the Palace of Winds, Hawa Mahal was built using red-pink sandstone and is known for its unique architecture which looks somewhat similar to a honeycomb of a beehive. It's one of the most breathtaking buildings in all of India.

10. Amer Fort


The 10th and final place you must visit during your Golden Triangle tour in India is the historic fort around Jaipur. Amer Fort is a four story fortress and palace located high on a hill above the town. The fortress consists of a series of gates and paths, large ramparts for courtyards and a temple.

This UNESCO World Heritage site also has a subterranean escape route for the royal family that links to another historical fortress: Jaigarh Fort. Just 400 meters above Amer Fort is Jaigarh Fort. Both are connected not only by underground passageway but also by a series of encompassing fortifications.

Jaigarh Fort's most notable attraction is its enormous 18th century wheeled cannon which goes by the name of Jaivana. It is the largest wheeled canon in the world and was fired only once. You'll also find courtrooms and armory and museum gardens and a central watchtower in this extensive fort complex.

Sharing an extensive wall with Jaigarh Fort is the nearby Nahargarh Fort, which along with Jaigarh Fort made a formidable defensive ring for the city from their positions in the outer valley range. The Nahargarh fort is a fine example of Indo-European architecture. Inside the Nahargarh fort is a phenomenally fine dining restaurant called 'Once Upon a Time' where you can find some of Jaipur's most delicious Daal and Naan.

Oktoberfest is a folk festival held annually in Munich, Germany. It traditionally runs from mid September to the first Sunday in October. This year, it runs specifically from September 21 through October 6th. This is one of the largest and best known festivals in the world, attracting as many as 6 million visitors.

Visiting Octoberfest is on the bucket list of many people and if you're not one of them you should really reconsider. It is a fantastic event for adults and families alike. Like most festivals, one of the best ways to visit Oktoberfest is by RV. Here we will look at some of the advantages of visiting festivals by RV and where you can do it at Oktoberfest.

Visiting festivals by RV has several advantages over staying in more traditional accommodations. First, there are several festivals where an RV is almost essential. One excellent example is the Burning Man Festival in the Nevada desert. Due to the remote location, RVs are about the only option to provide a civilized existence anywhere near the festival.

Of course, most festivals are not held in such remote locations, but that doesn't make suitable fixed accommodations easier to find. Most popular festivals will sell out hotel rooms anywhere near the event grounds for months or years in advance. While RV sites will often have the same issues, the mobility and self sufficiency of RVs allows you to stay in comfort a little further away without too much inconvenience.

RVs also allow you to free camp (dry camp or boondock). This type of camping allows you take advantage of non-traditional sites which can be located very close to the festival venues.

An RV is essentially your home on wheels. Visiting a festival in an RV is like taking the festival and moving it into your own backyard. In fact, many festivals have RV sites located on the festival grounds. The RV allows you to enjoy the festival while having the comforts of home nearby.

Finally, RV folks are very social and campgrounds near festivals often carry over the festivities to the camping area. Unlike hotels and other accommodations you can almost expect to meet people and share in the festival experience with your neighbors. Sharing this experience with others from different areas or backgrounds will make your trip more memorable and may lead to lifelong friendships.

Oktoberfest does not allow or have any on-site camping, but there are many great options around Munich that are convenient to the festival grounds like Festanation. One of the largest areas which is set-up exclusively for Octoberfest is Oktoberfest Camping. This area provides 1500 RV sites near the Oktoberfest grounds.

Of those 1500 sites, 800 of them include electrical hookups. The campground features an underground metro rail terminal which can get you to the festival grounds in around 20 minutes. Tickets for the metro train can be purchased on site. There are also on site restaurants and a supermarket to make your stay as convenient as possible.

In addition to the many RV sites, this campground also offers an on site bar, restaurant and grocery shopping.

4. Campingplatz Nord-West


This campground is also located in the north western green area of Munich. Campingplatz Nord-West has similar facilities and access to public transportation as the other campgrounds in the area.
