Rajasthan- one of the most colourful regions in India- also called the land of the kings – is endowed with invincible forts, magnificent palaces, waves of sand dunes and serene lakes. The forts and palaces can be found on hilltops, over the ridges and even in the middle of the lakes! There is romance in Rajasthan’s forts and palaces and arts of gallantry retold in ballads and legends. This delightful Rajasthan tour takes you around the major cities of Rajasthan- where the royal architecture still stands amidst the city life, to tell its tale of a bygone era. The colourful bazaars and the diversity of the region in all its forms- its people, culture, costumes, cuisine, rustic music and dialects- is intriguing.

Our holiday was one of the most vibrant, colourful and cultural experiences ever with delicious varied food. Apart from the stunning Taj Mahal, we loved the beautiful Mehrangarh Fort and the larger Ranakpur temple was simply a/awesome! Udaipur was a delightful and restful city for our final destination with fabulous views of the lakes and away from the constant tooting of horns! Thank you for treating us to three evening meals – all very good and we ate both nights on the terrace at Ratan Vilas – super Haveli. We will return again and Sri Lanka also appeals as another vibrant and beautiful country to visit.
A well designed trip by excellent team with fantastic on ground support. All our apprehensions were catered for right from design stage to operation of the tour. Teenage kids were well-occupied. Food well accepted by kids and sausages and bacon were easily forgotten. Pace of tour was excellent, building in points of rest. We felt safe. Everywhere we went, the team and hotel staff was happy to go that extra mile!
This was our 6 th visit to India. We have travelled before with companies specialising in the country, but they tended to get too big and the personal service was lost. Indian Odyssey gave us that personal service, and also came up with an itinerary that offered us one or two different locations from other agents – thats why we chose Indian Odyssey. The person who dealt with our enquiry is also familiar with the country which makes a big difference when you are discussing holiday options.
