About This Tour
A classic sweep through Rajasthan's desert heartland — painted havelis, camel-country forts, and golden dunes — paired with the sacred lake town of Pushkar and the royal capital of Jaipur, before closing with the Taj Mahal in Agra. This version keeps the full desert experience while trimming the Udaipur/Mount Abu detour for a tighter, still-comprehensive circuit.
