Highlights of Rajasthan [18 Days]
Delhi, Jaipur, Bikaner, Ranthambore Tiger Safari & Agra
Introduction
Rajasthan, ‘Land of Kings’ is steeped in romantic history, chivalry and valour. It boasts of some of
the finest fortress palaces against the stark desert landscape with its highly coloured costumes of
local, turbaned men and richly jewelled women, the Havelies and villages, fairs and festivals. This
tour takes you back to an era long gone by.
We begin on this epic journey from Delhi then heading to the Pink City, Jaipur, ride on an elephant
to climb to the Amber Fort. Travel to Jaisalmer, an ancient city with a hill top fortress town where
you will enjoy a camel ride across the Sam Sand Dunes at sunset. Continue your trip to Jodhpur,
a sprawling Art Deco Masterpiece. Stay in Udaipur and tour the famous lake city known as India’s
most romantic city. A bit of adventure lies ahead with a possible Tiger sighting in Ranthambore
National Park before proceeding towards our final destination to view the majestic Taj Mahal in
Agra. With so much to offer we look forward to welcoming you on this magical tour of Rajasthan.
