Deluxe Circuit of Rajasthan

OVERVIEW

Rajasthan, in north western India, is India at its exotic and colourful best. The state is steeped in history and each city reflects the characteristics of the Rajput warriors that held sway there until not – long ago. The magnificent forts and palaces evoke images of India’s past, which was every bit as colourful as the garments worn by modern day Rajasthanis. We have carefully sought out Rajasthan’s most elegant properties along a route that visits cities from Delhi to the legendary Udaipur and back.
