RAJASTHAN highglights
With remnants of civilisation dating back to over 3000 BC and stone age tools dating back 10,000 years, it’s hard to deny the mystical quality to these ancient lands.
We’ll visit over 4 UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Explore historic temples and forts, enjoy live music in the ruins of a 5th century empire, visit a tiger reserve and ride camels all in under 2 weeks.
Take this ride if you care for history, architecture, desert riding and adventure.

Taj mahal
The Taj Mahal is one of the most impressive structures ever built. A UNESCO site, visited by millions and of timeless beauty - it’s a great way to start the trip.
UDAIPUR
Udaipur is known as the city of lakes, lavish royal residences, friendly local and delicious cuisine. We recommend the deep fried potato dumpling burger.
JODHPUR “BLUE CITY”
The second biggest city in Rajasthan and one of the most beautiful with a huge fort, blue buildings and some of the best food in the country.
TIGER SAFARI & Camel ride
We will head to a tiger Safari on the 2nd day of the trip to see the huge Bengal Tiger. Later in the trip we will also experience a camel ride.
Jaisalmer
The ancient gateway between India and Persia has seen its fair share of battles, history, deceit and glory. The night sky is unbelievable here.
JAIPUR “PINK CITY”
The lavish buildings and forts of Jaipur are something of a fantasy. This city is often a favourite among our riders.

ARRIVAL DAY – New Delhi
Welcome to India! Our hotel is just 15 minutes from the airport. We'll have a big dinner to get to know one another and set out the plan of attack.
DAY 2. New Delhi > Agra via Taj Mahal
We'll hit the road towards one of the world's most famous site, the Taj Mahal. Commissioned in 1632 this ivory white complex is even more impressive in real life.
DAY 3. Agra > Ranthambore via Tiger Safari
Today we'll get up early and ride to Ranthambore National Park. Here we will enjoy a 3-hour jeep safari. Expect to see the magnificent Bengal Tiger, crocodiles, monkeys and Antelope.
DAY 4. Ranthambore > Chittorgarh
In the morning, we will check out the Ranthambore Fort. This formidable building has many stories to tell. Our ride today is magic. The Rajasthani desert opens up in front of us with endless panoramic views. We will stop to check out Chittorgarh Fort, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is India's largest fort complex covering over 700 acres.
DAY 5. Chittorgarh > Udaipur
After a delicious breakfast, we will ride to Udaipur, formerly the capital of the Mewar Kingdom. We'll head to the 200-year-old City Palace, an enormous complex of 11 palaces, gardens, and courtyards, well known for its elaborate peacock mosaics.
DAY 6. Udaipur Free Day
There is so much to see and do in Udaipur. From Lake Pichola with its island palaces to the Monsoon Palace, which looks over the entire state, there are also many museums (including one for vintage cars).
DAY 7. Udaipur > Barmer
We're going deep into the desert today. Sand dunes will begin to rise all around us, and the crowds will disperse as we head towards Barmer.
DAY 8. Barmer > Jaisalmer
There is simply no other place like Jaisalmer. It was established in the 12th century and served as a gateway to Persian countries during the medieval days. This is also home to another UNESCO world heritage site: Jaisalmer Fort, its yellow sandstone walls rise over the entire city. This mythical godlike city is a favourite among our tour groups.
DAY 9. Jaisalmer > Jodhpur
From one unbelievable city to another, Rajahstan's stunning beauty will continue as we ride to Jodhpur. Standing over Jodphur is Mehrangarh Fort and museum. The city dates back thousands of years and is the origin of many famous dishes — we won't be going hungry.
DAY 10. Jodhpur > Jaipur
From the blue city to the pink city, we're off Jaipur. The Amber Palace and City Palace are the main attractions here; both were built around the 16th century and offer stunning views over the city.
DAY 11. Jaipur > New Delhi
We will take the ride back to New Delhi today. After we touch down, we will have our farewell dinner to tell our tales from the road.
DAY 12. Departure
Thanks for coming! We hope to ride again with you soon.
