Behold as the story of Rajasthan unfolds. From giant sandcastles to dust-swirled towns, enchanting folk music to colorful turbans and mighty fortresses to peaceful bird sanctuaries, this erstwhile desert kingdom has the world to offer. Sail the dunes atop the ship of the desert, gaze through historical astronomical instruments at Jantar Mantar, or peep through glass mosaics at Mor-chowk. Only in the 'Land of the Kings' can you relish the earthy hospitality of each local, even when the Great Indian Thar Desert presents its dwellers with the most inhospitable conditions. Rajasthan is ablaze with color. Trek through the remote forests, ride the famous Marwari horses and drive through tribal settlements that offer unique insight into timeless Rajasthan. Just as a painter would look for inspiration in the hypnotic white of a clean canvass before splashing it with color, we introduce you to the gloriously white splendor of the Taj Mahal  at the last day of tour.
