HOLIDAY TYPES
Rajasthan
The largest state in India, Rajasthan is situated in the northwest of the country, bordering with Pakistan. Rajasthan is home to some of India’s best known cities, as well as the inhospitable Great Indian Desert and one of the oldest mountain ranges.
Rajasthan’s rich history has made it a popular tourist destination. The region has many architectural wonders and colourful splendours offering an insight into the lives of the Maharajas.
As well as a rich cultural heritage, Rajasthan is also home to a number of wildlife reserves and spectacular national parks. We have a number of itineraries that will allow you to discover the beauty of this colourful state including the cities below, to name just a few.
Jaipur
Jaipur is the state capital of Rajasthan with a regal history that still resonates today. Jaipur and its surroundings offer an abundance of mountain forts, jungle strongholds and princely palaces. Highlights include the walled Pink City, the teeming Tripolia Bazaar, the Jantar Mantar 18th century observatory and the Hawa Mahal or 'Palace of the Winds.'
Udaipur
Possibly India's most romantic city and certainly one of its most beautiful, Udaipur is a city of dreams in a setting of extraordinary natural beauty. The sprawling City Palace is Rajasthan's largest, while in Lake Pichola the 17th century Jag Mandir and the 18th century Jag Niwas palaces provide enduring reminders of the Rajputs' opulence and style.
Jodhpur
A rugged hilltop fort, the astounding art deco Umaid Bhawan Palace and the Brahmins' 'blue city' of cool indigo houses mark the striking contrasts of this busy trade centre. Nearby at Mandore, Hinduism's 330 million gods are honoured in the Hall of Heroes, set in a lush and tranquil garden.

Nikhil ChhibberI have travelled extensively throughout India, both through business and pleasure and it was there I had my first personal encounter with an endangered species, a Royal Bengal tiger in Central India.
Since then I have had the pleasure of witnessing India's rich diversity of wildlife, including the Nilgiri leaf monkey, the Asiatic lion, the Indian white-rumped vulture and of course, the majestic Indian elephants.

Kathmandu provides an adrenalin to the senses. Whizzing rickshaws, tucked away temples decorated in colourful flowers and some great choices for accommodation, it will delight any true traveller.
There are many great markets to pick great souvenirs, check out some of the beautiful architecture including the octagonal Krishna Temple. -
Amit Dhoj KhadkaThe driving to Jaisalmer from Jodhpur through the stunning Thar desert and its sand dunes dotted with tribal villages will always be special for me. As one approaches closer seeing the Golden fortress simmer in the distance is always special.
It is such a frontier town with the beautiful colours everywhere from the fluorescent greens, and reds of the woman’s dresses contrasting with the terrain to the intricately carved Havelis and the numerous shops selling beautiful carpets and silver trinkets and the camels ambling by. I absolutely loved walking inside the old town and watching the life go by and Jaisalmer will always be one of my favourite places anywhere.

Mumbai is truly a mish mash of all things diabolical. Pieces of old colonial architecture can be found around the city, wealthy residences alongside astonishing poor slums, a labyrinth of bazaars, restaurants, clubs, bars, shopping outlets and an equal number of cave-temples.
One of my highlights, was Elephanta Island, home to the three faced Hindu goddess Shiva.
Overall, disappointed that our trip wasn’t long enough, but knew it was a great start to many.
