Rajasthan is a land of magnificent and luxurious Maharajas palaces, superb fortresses, elegant “havelis,” and proud Rajput lords. It is a region of great chivalry, with a mosaic of landscapes waiting for you to explore. From the mildness of the wooded and green Aravelli mountains to the intense aridity of the Thar, its dunes and small villages emerging from the desert, Rajasthan offers a unique and breathtaking experience.

The region is an incredibly human world, where you will meet peaceful Rebaris and Bishnois shepherds wearing hugely colored turbans, warm Rajputs for whom honor is more important than life, and the Gadulliya gypsies: nomadic blacksmiths or musicians. With the freedom of a private vehicle, we follow the roads, from the iconic Taj Mahal to the vibrant city of Jaipur, via the holy city of Pushkar.

Far from the crowds of the city, we’re fascinated by the amazing landscapes and people of the countryside. Experience the sunrise on the dry desert where acacias trees seem to dance, walk on lanes paved in stone and mud houses embellished by the statues of Ganesh which bring luck. See women going to the wells wearing their bright colored saris, peppers drying in the sun, village festivals and turbaned musicians, and temples of mysterious gods.

Our exclusive Rajasthan tour packages come with a private driver, personalized itinerary, and promise an unforgettable experience. Book now!
