An extraordinary holiday exploring the dunes and lakes in western Rajasthan. You will start your journey in Udaipur, the beautiful city of lakes where you stay at the stunning Shiv Niwas Palace on the eastern shores of Lake Pichola. Next, explore regal Jodhpur with its magnificent Mehrangarh Fort and colourful markets . Then you travel to Jaisalmer, the mesmerising  city on the edge of the Thar desert. Your next stop Nagaur is a town less frequented by tourists where you will stay in the fort at Ranvas. Later, explore the rural charming Nimaj during your stay at the stunning lake side camps of Chhatra Sagar. Last couple of days bring in the hustle, bustle and colours of Rajasthan at the city of Jaipur.

You can take this luxury Rajasthan holiday as suggested here. Alternatively, you use it as a starting point to create your unique tailor made India holiday.  All our tours are perfectly tailor-made to suit you.

TESTIMONIALS

Many thanks once again for a wonderful trip enhanced by your outstanding organisation & attention to detail.

Mr.& Mrs. Barr
Private tailormade holiday to India

Thank you very much for organising such a great holiday. The itinerary was brilliant and everything worked very well and there was always an agent to meet us on arrival at our next destinations. We all thoroughly enjoyed it and it has wetted our appetites to visit India again. We would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Indian Odyssey to any of our friends.

Mrs. Jenkins
Private tailormade holiday to India

Neither of us had been to India before, but we were well taken care of, and learned and saw so much! In addition, I would particularly like to mention how very good Tilak was. We relied on him completely, he managed everything exceptionally well, and nothing was too much trouble. It cannot be easy dealing with a group of senior travellers (especially on the train!) but he made it all very easy for us. He was efficient, professional, resourceful, and kind. We could not have asked for more.
