Rajasthan and North India.


Rajasthan is a western Indian state that is famous for: its rugged landscape; majestic forts; beautiful palaces all over the state; desert towns of Bikaner, Jodhpur & Jaisalmer; lakes in Udaipur; hill stations of Mount Abu; beautiful marble carved jain temples of Ranakpur & Mount Abu; an open air gallery in the regions such as Shekawati; a unique chance to stay in a old haveli or converted palace in any one of the cities. Each one of the cities are steeped in history (details of which are provided in the guidebooks which we have not gone into). It is well worth combining a trip to Rajasthan with: a visit to Uttar Pradesh to cover Agra for the world famous Taj Mahal and the historic city of Varanasi with its bathing ghats; trips to erotic carvings of Khajuraho and wildlife parks of Bandavgarh & Kanha in Madhya Pradesh; the hill station of Darjeeling & the bustling metropolis that is Kolkata in West Bengal; hill stations of Himachal Pradesh & Uttarakhand in the North and Sikkim in the North East; a visit to the Golden temple in Amritsar in Punjab; a trip to Sasan Gir to try to see the Asiatic Lion in Gujarat; a journey to India's North East like Assam to see Kaziranga and where you could stay in the tea Bungalows in the tea estates.
