Rajasthan India Travel with Taj Mahal

Rajasthan is desert country. The colours of silver sage, cerulean blue skies and ochre sand predominate. Dashing men sporting handle bar moustaches, wear turbans of yellow, pink and red. Women float along in their lime green, purple or orange saris.

Rajasthan is camel country. Nomads herd these goofy elegant beasts from watering hole to market to fair. We’ll have the chance to ride one and sleep in the desert in a luxury tent.

Our accommodation varies from Haveli's - small architectural delights built by the flourishing business class when the Maharajas reined the land and traded on the silk route, to first class modern hotels. Each has been carefully selected for convenience and charm.

Our tour kicks off with a cultural show and welcome dinner in Delhi. Then we are off to Agra, to visit the Taj Mahal early in the day to catch it’s magic. Birding at Bharatpur and seeking the elusive tigers of Ranthambhore Park add an exciting wildlife element to our Indian experience. By private air con coach we tour to the west of Rajasthan where there are forts at every stop with fabulous carved gates big enough for the elephants to enter. While it is desert outside the fort walls, inside there are flowering trees and chattering green parrots - Jain temples with lace marble domes - symphonies in stone.

At fabled Udaipur, our hotel overlooks Lake Pechola where we can watch the sun's orange ball sink beyond the hills. Pink light deepens to plum. The sunset in Udaipur is most beautiful. At dusk, the monkeys swing down from the temple to the Bhodi tree where they curl in their young and settle down for the night and the light fades from plum to black velvet.
