Against a backdrop characterized by many historic forts, palaces, havelis and the Thar desert, you will delve into a world like the one in 1001 nights. Have encounters with the population, the shepherds and the desert dwellers, or let yourself be pampered and travel through the gorgeous landscapes like a Maharajah. We are happy to adapt our classical Rajasthan round trip to your needs and wishes. Integrate for example a trekking on foot, by horse or on camel back through the lively Thar desert or through the Aravalli mountain range, and meet the various tribal people of the desert; make fantastic wildlife observations at the Ranthambore National Park, or experience the glitter and glamour of Indian princes in the most beautiful and exclusive palace hotels.
