About this India itinerary

Rajasthan is a land of formidable forts and proud palaces; a land of chivalrous warrior clans; of hardy men with handlebar moustaches and coy, demure women with brilliantly coloured costumes and exquisite jewellery; a land with a rich folklore of heroism and romance. This tour of Rajasthan takes you into the villages where the true heart of the India is, offering an incredibly wonderful and at times humbling experience. The generosity of these villagers, who on paper may have next to nothing, is almost overwhelming. Seeing how rich their simple lives can be despite their poverty, and savouring the hospitality that they offer to any visitor to their village, is truly an experience one will want to remember for long.

Everything below is a sample. Our India team will stretch it, shorten it, swap the hotels up or down a category and build the days around what you actually want to do.

Trip highlights

  • Delhi: Old Delhi by cycle rickshaw, Jama Masjid, Humayun's Tomb, Qutab Minar and a drive past India Gate and the Presidential Palace.
  • Agra: The Taj Mahal at sunrise, Agra Fort and the marble inlay workshops that still use Mughal techniques.
  • Jaipur: Amber Fort, the City Palace, Jantar Mantar and the textile and block-printing bazaars.

  • Jaisalmer: The living fort, Patwon ki Haveli, Gadisar Lake and sunset on the dunes at Sam.

October to March, the sweet spot

Most of India is at its best from October to March, when the monsoon has cleared and the days are dry and warm. April to June is hot across the plains but ideal for the Himalaya, and the south-west monsoon from June to September brings heavy rain, deep green landscapes and the lowest prices of the year.
