About this trip
This 18-day guided journey takes you across Rajasthan, starting and ending in Delhi, with a sunrise visit to the Taj Mahal early on and a long, steady route through the desert state's forts, lakes, and temple towns.
You move through Agra and Fatehpur Sikri before reaching Jaipur, then head into the smaller, less-visited towns of Mandawa, Bikaner, and Jaisalmer. The second half brings you to Jodhpur's fort, the Jain temple at Ranakpur, and Udaipur, with stops at Chittorgarh and the pilgrimage towns of Ajmer and Pushkar along the way.
It's a full, ground-covering itinerary suited to those who want a proper introduction to Rajasthan's history and culture rather than a slow, single-base holiday.
