Experience Rajasthan’s imperial heritage on a 15-day journey through Delhi, Shekhawati, Bikaner, Jaisalmer, Jodhpur, Udaipur, Bundi, Jaipur and Agra with forts, palaces, havelis, lakes and the Taj Mahal.
Overview
Discover the grandeur of North India on this 14 Nights / 15 Days Imperial Rajasthan Tour, a richly paced journey through Delhi and Rajasthan’s most celebrated royal and desert cities before concluding with Agra’s Taj Mahal. Begin with Old and New Delhi, then enter the fresco-filled Shekhawati region at Mandawa before continuing to Bikaner, Jaisalmer, Jodhpur and Mandore. Cross the Aravallis via Ranakpur to Udaipur for City Palace, lakeside heritage and a Lake Pichola boat ride, then travel to Bundi for forts, painted palaces and stepwells. Continue to Jaipur for Amber Fort, City Palace, Jantar Mantar and the Pink City bazaars before finishing in Agra with the Taj Mahal, Agra Fort and selected Mughal monuments. The original Saar Holidays page is currently unavailable, so the programme is reconstructed from a strong exact legacy 14 Nights / 15 Days Imperial Rajasthan itinerary with the same route and day structure, then professionally updated for current operating practices. Older elephant-back access at Amber Fort has been removed from the base itinerary, animal rides are not included, and all monument, temple and boat experiences remain subject to current opening rules and operating conditions. The package suits couples, families, heritage enthusiasts, photographers and small groups looking for an in-depth royal Rajasthan journey.
