Images of Rajasthan

Rajasthan, the Land of Kings, is the quintessential Indian state. Walled cities, forts and palaces are dramatic reminders of the rich cultural heritage and history of the region. Amazing legends from a bygone era bring us tales of romance and heroism of the Rajput warriors who ruled the region for nearly a thousand years. Our journey takes us to the fairytale cities of Jaipur, Udaipur, Jodhpur and Jaisalmer, as well as exploring lesser-known villages such as Nimaj. Our exploration of the hauntingly beautiful sand dunes of the Thar Desert on an exciting overnight camel safari is yet another highlight on this superb adventure.

      It is hard to pick out one particular thing as every day brought something new and different. I suppose finally seeing the Taj Mahal and being able to walk around there and be overcome by the beauty. 

      It is not a trekking tour but be prepared to do a lot of walking. Just open yourself up to every experience that comes.

      Most memorable moment - the first glimpse of the Taj Mahal (through an arched window at the Red Fort in Agra) shimmering in the haze two kms away ...  The Taj Mahal up close.  The many forts and palaces which rivalled the Taj Mahal for beauty and majesty.  New Year's Eve fireworks at an outdoor restaurant looking over the lake and City Palace at Udaipur.  The colours ...
