The Story
Best time to go: October - March
Best for: Longer Journeys, Historical
Best for: Longer Journeys, Historical
No many people have over three weeks to travel, but if you do, this is the sort of itinerary we can help plan for you. Any element can be tweaked and changed. For this suggested itinerary, we’ve tried to keep the pace fairly gentle, as you are covering quite a distance. What this does, however, is ensure you get firmly off-the-beaten track to see the hidden side behind Rajasthan rather than just doing a whistle-stop tour and thinking twenty years later how you should have added on places like Jaisalmer, the magical desert city located on the edge of the Thar Desert to the far west of Rajasthan. With more time, you can properly get into the rural heartlands, seeing the magical villages where time has simply stood still. It goes without saying that we will provide a private driver and guides throughout, and the experience have been hand-crafted and perfected to ensure you have the best possible experience.
