About this trip
Sixteen days across Rajasthan, covering desert camps, old cities and the Taj Mahal, with a mix of included activities and free time to explore on your own terms.
Expect markets in Jodhpur, a cooking class in Bikaner, temples in Jaipur and a sunrise view of the Taj Mahal. The pace is full-on in places, with long overland journeys as part of the experience rather than a means to an end.
This is India close up: busy streets, sleeper trains, shared compartments with locals and fellow travellers, and plenty of scope to shape your own days around the group itinerary.
