One
Of India's Most Traditional States, Rajasthan - 'The Land of Kings' -
fiercely resisted conquest by various waves of invaders who swept over the
sub-continent from earliest times. As a result it has preserved a unique
cultural integrity. A wild and beautiful desert land, it rejoices in a
romantic history of often warring princely states whose deeds are
embellished by tales of chivalry and romance. Yet Rajasthan is also
celebrated for its ancient and vibrant spiritual tradition, a living
heritage passed down through saints and shrines of the Hindu, Jain and
Islamic faiths, and its vibrant artistic creativity. Thus a visit here makes
an ideal introduction to the magic that is India, and gives a glimpse of the
fascinating variety of a country that is like nowhere else on earth. The
special feature of this holiday will be Dessert Camel Safari and short
Trekking in the Arravali Hills and Jungle safari in search of the 'Royal
Bengal Tiger'. Concluding with a Romantic visit of the Taj Mahal.
