- Cultural Touring
Rajasthan is defined by its lush oases of color, luxury and beauty – in stark contrast to the rustic Great Indian Desert that occupies so much of India’s largest state. Warmth not only exudes from the dunes, but from the hospitality of the Rajasthanis, heirs to centuries of regal aspiration from a dozen different tribes and their kings. Our adventure explores majestic forts, intricately carved temples, sandstone and marble palaces and a fabric of cultures matched only by the area’s rich silks. Neighboring Uttar Pradesh opens its doors in Agra, where we are treated to the plush Agra Fort and incomparable Taj Mahal.
