India
RAJASTHAN REVEALED18 DAYS | 17 NIGHTS
Step into a world of colour, culture and connection as we take you on an unforgettable journey through the heart of India. Explore the architectural wonders of the Golden Triangle - Delhi, Agra, and Jaipur - and discover the timeless beauty of the Taj Mahal and the majestic Amber Fort. Wander through the painted havelis of Mandawa, the golden streets of Jaisalmer, and the blue-washed charm of Jodhpur. Become entranced by the lesser-known royal gem of Chanoudhgarh, before surrendering to the romance of Udaipur’s lakes and palaces.
We will try our hand at block-printing, wander the labyrinthian alleyways of local villages, learn to cook like a local, rummage for hidden treasures in local markets, cross the desert on camel to dine under the stars - this journey promises deep immersion, sisterhood and stories you’ll carry forever.
