Diversity in the Desert - A Rajasthan Adventure
Much more than just a sightseeing tour, the Rajasthan Safari is an Indian experience! We visit the palaces and forts that give this desert state its remarkable diversity. Taking every opportunity to get off the beaten track, we spend two days cycling through Indian villages and then enjoying a three day camel safari in the Thar desert. We visit delightful desert towns like Pushkar and Jaisalmer, staying in the Maharaja’s palace at Sariska and Daspan and also visiting the holy city of Benares (Varanasi) on the banks of the Ganges. With so many highlights, it is easy to see why this remains one of our most popular trips.

Tour based on bed and breakfast basis.
