SMALL GROUP TRIPS
RAJASTHAN DESERT ADVENTURE
Ref: AIR
History, Desert, Tigers, Taj Mahal, Festivals
Exploring the forts and palaces of India's colourful desert state
plus tiger-watching and the magical Taj Mahal
Exotic Rajasthan, the 'Land of Princes' is blessed with awe-inspiring
monuments to a fierce warrior past. The magnificent forts of Jodphur,
Jaisalmer and Jaipur bear testament to the battles that once raged
across this desert land, whilst the romantic palaces in Udaipur,
Fatehpur Sikri and the world famous Taj Mahal offer a glimpse of
a softer side to North India's rich history. Nawalgarh is less well
known but equally fascinating. Full of colourful havelis, it is
an ideal place to explore by bicycle. Taking to camels, the journey
across the shimmering sands, camping under the desert stars and
visiting temple ruins and villages is another experience not to
be missed. The destination is Jaisalmer, truly exotic, with golden
sandstone walls, narrow alleys and exquisitely carved buildings
evoking memories of Arabian nights. There is also a chance to see
Kipling's elusive tiger at Ranthambore. Selected departures are
timed to visit the world-famous Pushkar Camel Fair and the smaller
Jaisalmer festival.
