Essential Rajasthan
Travel to some of Rajasthan’s most enchanting cities. In the lake city of Udaipur you have time to visit the palaces and stroll through the bazaars. You visit the fantastic Meherangarh Fort in Jodhpur and end your trip in the walled desert city of Jaisalmer.
Your nights are spent at a number of beautifully situated and atmospheric old buildings. It is not difficult to see why this is our favourite tour of Rajasthan.
