Immerse yourself in Rajasthan, known as the Land of Kings for its countless palaces, forts and monuments to warriors past. On this culture-packed adventure, we visit the imposing forts of Jodhpur and Jaipur, visit the Taj Mahal at sunrise, and search Ranthambore National Park for the elusive Bengal tiger.
But what makes this departure extra special is the inclusion of the annual Pushkar Festival, one of the biggest cattle fairs in the world. In addition to the buying and selling of livestock, it hosts activities such as the ‘bridal competition’ and ‘longest moustache’, plus religious ceremonies around Pushkar Lake and dance displays to name a few.

Where the plains meet the Himalaya, India is at its most vivid and complex, manifested in a profusion of religions and landscapes. Join an expert local tour leader to experience it for yourself: ashrams, monasteries and gurdwaras, Amritsar’s famous Golden Temple, Tibetan culture and the Dalai Lama’s hometown of Dharamsala. Just as fascinating is watching daily life play out, meeting the friendly local people and, of course, eating the world-renowned cuisine.
If you're the kind of person who likes to go beyond the surface, this tour is for you. I joined the Heritage of Rajasthan trip with my cousin, and we were both impressed with how much heart and detail was put into every day of the journey. It didn’t feel rushed or overly “touristy.” We had time to enjoy each city—walk through narrow alleys, talk to local artisans, sip masala chai on rooftops. That’s what made it memorable.
Pushkar, in particular, was a highlight for me. Watching the rituals at the lake in the evening made me feel like I was witnessing something truly timeless. Jodhpur’s fort was massive and majestic, and Jaipur’s Amber Fort was like a real-life movie set. Udaipur felt like the opposite, serene and romantic. I still can’t believe I had dinner overlooking the lake with palace lights glowing in the background.
The accommodations were mid-range but charming: clean, comfortable, and often located in beautiful heritage properties. Our driver was fantastic, and our guide brought the history alive without being boring or overwhelming. He was also really approachable and made sure everyone in the group felt included.
One of the best parts was the group itself—it was a good mix of people from different backgrounds, and we all got along really well. It added another layer to the trip.
This wasn’t just a checklist of places—it was an experience that made me feel connected to the history, art, and people of Rajasthan.
