Heritage Trails of Rajasthan

Heritage Trails of Rajasthan Overview

Our ultimate Rajasthan walking holiday explores a landscape of magnificent forts, elusive tigers and palaces of the Maharaja

Rajasthan is a vibrant and dazzling state in Northern India. This is a land of opulent palaces, magnificent crumbling forts and proud tribes. There is an incredible diversity of landscape here, including jungle, mountains and desert. We have created a walking holiday that brings all that we love about Rajasthan into one incredible itinerary. We do not just visit the extravagant former royal residencies of the maharaja and their strategic military strongholds; we explore the hills and communities that surround them on a collection of well-planned treks and heritage trails.  We will start with a guided walk of ‘Old Delhi’, exploring some of the maze-like bazaars and ancient temples and experience an opportunity to help cook in a Sikh temple kitchen! Arriving by sleep-train into Jodphur, we explore the imposing Meherangarh Fort and spice markets of this blue-hued city. We then enjoy three days of trekking through the Kumbhalgarh Wildlife Sanctuary, with time to explore the walls of the magnificent fortress and the serene temples of Ranakpur. The City Palace of Udaipur cannot be missed and we will walk in the Aravalli Hills through the tribal villages that surround this most romantic of lakeside cities. We then visit the spiritual town of Pushkar, a firm KE favourite, before heading to the Pink City of Jaipur. After visiting Amber Fort we will take to the hills that surround this impressive sprawling building and then enjoy a market visit a meal with a local family. Our epic voyage through Rajasthan is ended off in style with game drives at Ranthambore Tiger Reserve and an unforgettable visit to the Taj Mahal in Agra.
