The tour offers a banquet of Rajasthan's classic holiday delights - its hidden gems and its much lauded treasures - everything that makes Rajasthan one of the world's top exotic holiday destinations that has been seducing holidaymakers from home and abroad for decades. Rajasthan's rich history, its legends of royalty and village communities, its tales of heroism and staunchly held beliefs in the face of deep provocations, its palaces and Havelis, its forbidding fortresses and verdant gardens, its heady wildlife sanctuaries and its stunning desert enclaves, its legendary crafts and hardy people, all of which unquestionably make it an all-time favourite vacation option for all age groups. From Jaipur, the famed walled city of medieval times, to Jodhpur, from Jaisalmer near the desertlands to Bikaner with its camel farm, from the painted towns of Shekhawati to Udaipur with its gorgeous lake palace, there is something for everybody. Surprises await you all along this adventurous odyssey as we discover new destinations and enjoy the legendary hospitality of Rajasthan's erstwhile royal homes and uncover the world of its old aristocrats. Tour Rajasthan and explore the rich culture of Rajasthan. We explore Rajasthan with its grand palaces, Havelis & Rajasthan forts, stark landscape, rich wildlife, friendly people and beautiful handicrafts and gems. Rajasthan has always fascinated travelers since time immemorial, now you can explore “The land of the kings” like a royal as well. Although the tour does not exclude the attractions of the more popular towns, its main focus will be on India's Heritage Hotels and the fascinating insight they offer into a traditional way of life that has changed little over the years.
