Rajasthani Tour
14 Days/13 Nights
Rajasthan is known as "the Land of the Kings" and the home of the Rajputs. As a group of warriors, the Rajputs have controlled this part of India for about 1,000 years as per the code of chivalry and honor similar to the medieval European knights. With varied geographical features, Rajasthan lies between the Arayali hills (south) and Thar Desert (northwest and south). In the mediaval period, there were more than 18 separate states in Rajasthan. The states were not only  power centres but also known for the development of arts and architecture. Because of this, Rajasthan now boasts of different castles and palaces, forts and fortresses and temples. Mughal arts and architecture also entered after  the Mughals invaded some parts of Rajasthan. Being home to more friendly and hospitable people, Rajasthan is rich in language, customs and costumes, fairs and festivals. The trip may offer one romantic and unique feelings due to the luxurious life of the Maharajas. The trip covers travel to Delhi, Shekhawati, Bikaner, Jaiselmer, Jodhpur, Kumbalgarh, Udaipur, Amer, Jaipur, Agra and back to Delhi.
