Description

The Rajasthan Safari is a true Indian experience and a favourite amongst our travellers. We visit the palaces and forts that give this desert state its remarkable diversity. Taking every opportunity to get off the beaten track we enjoy a camel safari in the Thar Desert. We also visit delightful desert towns like Pushkar and Jaisalmer and stay in a beautifully restored heritage hotel in Jojawar and an old haveli in Bhenswara.
