What's this trip about?
In this colourful trip, we have stitched together majestic forts, palaces and rural villages. We will take you through the Indian princely state full of legends of Maharajas & Maharanis and their majestic forts and magnificent palaces. Along these mighty forts lie pristine villages where you will experience life coming to a standstill and taking you to another world. You will meet the villagers along with the Bishnoi tribe close to Jodhpur who are known to be first ecologists of the world. To bring you closer to the Indian culture, you will visit a local family for a meal and will give you lessons on Yoga (if you have still not thought about it…) You will end your trip by visiting one of the world's architectural masterpiece - The Taj Mahal.
