Tour Overview
Rajasthan is the land of kings, and it feels like it. Giant forts stand on hilltops, palaces float on lakes, camels walk across golden sand, and every city has its own color: pink, blue, gold, and white.
Most people try to see it all in a week and end up tired. This 15-day tour fixes that. You get enough time in every city to explore, relax, eat well, and take photos without rushing. You start in Delhi, travel through the Shekhawati region, the Thar Desert, the blue city of Jodhpur, and the lake city of Udaipur. You then visit holy Pushkar, the Pink City of Jaipur, and the tiger forests of Ranthambore, and finish at the Taj Mahal in Agra.
It is a great plan for families, couples, friends, solo travelers, and first-time visitors to India.
Highlights
- Walk through quiet lanes lined with colorful, hand-painted mansions.
- Visit the living “Golden Fort,” then watch the sunset on the Sam sand dunes.
- Enjoy a camel ride in the Thar Desert and an evening of local songs and dance.
- See the blue city spread out below one of India’s grandest forts.
- Admire a stunning marble temple with over a thousand carved pillars.
- Relax in a calm holy town beside a sacred lake, with a famous Brahma Temple.
