Cultural Tour Rajasthan

Rajasthan, one of India's brightest jewels, is spread across a vast desert province, where Rajput princes ruled for centuries in extravagant pomp and splendour. The forts and palaces of the Maharajahs bear witness to this proud and glorious past, but Rajasthan has more than just this rich historical legacy. It is also a land of traditional crafts; lively musicians and folk dance; sensual women wearing bright saris, with bangles and silver nose rings; festive village life; and the contrasting forms and colours of the Thar desert. Rajasthan is, simply, India at its best.

A journey across Colourful Rajasthan, where an intriguing world of opulent palaces and stark imposing forts; lively people in bustling bazaars and aloof camels on silent sands; lustrous silks and dazzling jewels; the untamed world of Ranthambore National Park and burnished marble of Shah Jahan's fabled Taj Mahal, awaits the zealous traveller.

If you're in the market for a quality camel, you couldn't do much better than Pushkar. Home to the world's largest annual camel festival, buyers and sellers from across the country stride into the desert to haggle over 50,000 of these one-humped work animals. What once was a simple trade exhibition has morphed into one of India's most outrageous Festivals in Rajasthan. The event now hosts camel beauty contests, camel races, camel cart rides and even (camel-less) moustache competitions. Intermixed among the camel brokers, snake charmers, sadhus and soothsayers wander across the parade grounds, always eager to pose for traveler pictures.

Specially designed for honeymooners and couples, this magical journey through the enchanting, Romantic Desert Land of Rajasthan will sweep you off your feet. The journey beings with a visit to Shah Jahan's architectural letter to his wife, the Taj Mahal, an eternal proclamation of his devotion to her. From there, you'll move throughout Rajasthan, marveling at its impressive collection of formidable fortresses, fairytale-like palaces, and idyllic villages.

You'll also climb aboard elephants and saddle-up on Marwari horses for a ride through a Bishnoi village. No trip can be complete without a trip through the Aravalli hills to the stunning lake city of Udaipur. All accommodations are intimate and boast authentic Rajasthani style ensuring that your tour is special and unique. With a few surprises sprinkled along the way, you'll return home with memories that'll last you a lifetime.


Accommodation at its best

Raas – Jodhpur

Lying at the foot of the city's imposing Meherangarh Fort is this chic and contemporary oasis. Outfitted with all the modern comforts luxury can offer, this hideaway shines with a sophisticated, classic design. A welcome relief from the hustle and bustle of the old town, one can peacefully step outside at night for breathtaking views of the city skyline.

Devi Garh – Udaipur

Presiding over the Aravalli hills is Devi Garh, an 18th century fort-palace overlooking the village of Delwara. This luxury spa hotel offers excellent rejuvenation packages, as well as sunrise yoga on the roof. The trendy suites are minimalistic and have an artistic interest in squares. Interestingly, there's a pillow menu too.
