Introduction: A fascinating tour covering the highlights of Classical Rajasthan and giving you an insight into the real India, the rituals and life of its people. Rajasthan overflows with royalty and grandeur, a place where Maharajas palaces, forts and havelis abound, a place rich in culture. A colourful past and fast growing present will blend well into the future that is India – ever growing and ever moving.
The tour starts in the bustling capital of Delhi and heads to Mandawa, famous for its havelis, and the ideal gateway to Rajasthan. We travel through the Shekhawati belt and down to Jaisalmer in the heart of the desert land, with its imposing hill top fortress and fascinating bazaars. From here we drive into the dunes, and embark on an overnight camel safari with a night under the stars in a desert camp.
Our journey continues to Jodhpur, the Blue City, and then to Udaipur, the beautiful lake city known as the 'Venice of Asia'. The Pink City of Jaipur, the capital of Rajasthan, is full of impressive architecture and colour, and of course no tour of India would be complete without a visit to the Taj Mahal.
