Heritage Rajasthan

Eighteen days across Rajasthan and beyond, moving through the cities and desert towns that define this part of India. You start in New Delhi, take in the Taj Mahal at Agra, then work through Jaipur, Ajmer, Pushkar, Deogarh, Chittorgarh, Jodhpur, Udaipur, Jaisalmer and Bikaner before finishing back in Delhi.

It's a full sweep of the region — pink-city bazaars, lake palaces, desert forts and pilgrim towns all in one route. Expect a lot of ground covered and a different base most nights.

This is a guided group trip, so someone else handles the logistics while you take in temples, forts and the odd camel ride.

• Visit the pilgrim towns of Ajmer and Pushkar
