Rajasthan, literally ‘land of princes’, has an intriguing and bloody royal history.

Despite their past, or perhaps because of the chivalry of their forebears, Rajasthanis are honourable, loyal and very friendly people. This itinerary allows you time to explore the remnants of Rajasthan’s past, as well as time for shopping, chatting and chai in the many bazaars.

17 days Mumbai > Delhi  Trip Code: AITRAJIn contrast to the desert that dominates much of the state, Rajasthan’s towns and cities are spectacularly colourful.

The markets and bazaars of big towns are truly a feast for the senses, and this itinerary allows plenty of time for you to explore at your own pace.
