Questions people ask

What cities are covered on this eight-day tour?

You will visit Delhi, Agra, Jaipur, Pushkar and Jodhpur, combining the classic Golden Triangle with two of Rajasthan's most atmospheric towns.

Is this a private tour?

Yes. Only your group travels, with your own AC car, driver and licensed English-speaking guides, so you never join a shared sightseeing group.

Is Pushkar suitable for families?

Yes. We pace the Pushkar visit around your family's interests, and its holy lake, temples and colourful markets make a relaxing change from the bigger cities.

What is the best time to visit?

October to March is generally the most comfortable time, though December and January can bring chilly, foggy mornings in Delhi and Agra. April to June is very hot, and the monsoon months bring rain and humidity.

Can I customize the itinerary?

Yes. Talk to us about changing hotels, adding nights or reshaping the sightseeing schedule, and we will adjust the plan for you.

Is a camel safari available in Pushkar?

Camel rides and desert-style experiences can be arranged in Pushkar, depending on the season and local availability. Just mention it when you ask for your quote.

What is the Mehrangarh Fort elevator ticket cost?

Mehrangarh Fort has a lift for visitors who would rather not walk the steep uphill path, for a small separate charge. The fee changes from time to time, so we will confirm the current rate before your visit.

Can I extend the tour beyond eight days?

Yes. If you have more time, we can build a longer Rajasthan journey, for example a 10-day version or one that adds other destinations you are keen to see.
