Rajasthan is our love. No matter how many tours we do here, the insatiable
desire always remain. There is so much romance and color that needs to be
experienced and explored here. We will not just deal with the architectural
delights, we will look at opportunities to step off the tourist tracks to
visit unexplored Rajasthan, where life is as it used to be 3-4 centuries
behind the present time. We want you to experience the Rajasthani Heritage
here. You can stay in the former homes of the erstwhile royalty of
Rajasthan. The places are replete with character, and old world charm. You
can walk out of the building and step into a town of the past. The feudal
respect that the locals still have for the Royalty as well as the disarming
hospitality of the people would be akin to experiencing a 'Living Museum'.
The people in Rajasthan are the most colorful and most photogenic. In fact,
if you are interested in taking pictures - this is heaven on earth!
I will draw a little comparison with Medieval European places such as Bath
or Durham in England or Toledo in Spain. These are amazingly preserved
cities with period buildings, architecture and even the cobbled pathways are
as they were centuries behind time. But, can you imagine how these cities
would be if you also had the people from that era living and carrying on
with their day-to-day lives in the same way as they used to when the town
was set up? This is what I am attempting to bring to you.
In Rajasthan, each day there happens a festival in honor of a custom or to
appease a local deity. Nowhere is this better celebrated than in these
feudal areas where tradition has such deep roots and they have been
retained. For you to witness the atmosphere and festivity outside the
village temples or in the village square would be an experience to cherish.
Our guides and our tours are specially trained to bring to life this aspect
of Rajasthan alive for our guests. Our tours are operated to bring in a
degree of 'Rajasthani Flavor' to your trip. The fact that we step off the
tourist trail a few times is an expression of our intent to acquaint you
with Rajasthani culture - experience typical lifestyles and work places. If
you view our signature itinerary you would notice that the first part of the
trip does have a few 'one night affairs', but why? That part of the trip is
supposed to be "the baptism into India" part of the trip. We are
traveling very short distances. Each ride is not more than 2-3 hours, but, I
want it to be longer, pray why? You have to be bitten by the India bug, and,
where do you experience the best bugs? Yes, each destination suggested is
fascinating and charming, but the real India is seen when you travel from
one destination to the other. This is where real India exists untouched by
modern times. With the help of our trained drivers I want you to get off
your car, make that friendly people contact. Walk into the villages,
experience the hospitality as you visit a typical home, see the tribal arts
etc. I want you to experience this at an unhurried pace without having to
worry about achieving long distances. Have a look at our photo gallery for
some of the images that you can expect. Just click on the following link -

We invite you to explore not just the sights and sounds of this amazing
state called Rajasthan, but, we also want you take back with you vivid and
delicate memories of the vibrant lifestyles of Rajasthan. The traditional
living, the primitive crafts and occupations, and, above all the soul
stirring hospitality and humanness would leave an indelible mark on your
hearts. This is our mission and our objective when we take you on tours to
Rajasthan.
