Heritage & Desert · India
Rajasthan
Forts by day, folk music and dune nights
Why Rajasthan
Royal India at its most cinematic. We run Rajasthan as heritage stays and rooftop dinners rather than hotel chains — havelis in the old cities, a Swiss tent among the Sam dunes, and enough unscheduled time to actually wander a bazaar. The classic trail is Jaipur–Jodhpur–Jaisalmer; the lakes route swaps in Udaipur and Mount Abu for couples; and the short desert escape runs straight into Jaisalmer for a long weekend.
