"Through the land of maharajas, forts and golden deserts"
Rajasthan — the Land of Kings — is India's most visually dramatic region: a vast landscape of golden desert, majestic forts rising from rocky hills, ornate palaces reflected in shimmering lakes, and a culture of unparalleled color and vibrancy. This 10-day royal circuit takes you through the four most magnificent cities of Rajasthan, each with its own distinct personality — the Pink City of Jaipur, the Blue City of Jodhpur, the Golden City of Jaisalmer, and the City of Lakes, Udaipur.
