Four Great New TransIndus Experiences for Rajasthan

India    07.02.2019    David Abram

It’s hardly surprising Rajasthan welcomes the lion’s share of first-time visitors to India. Boasting some of Asia’s most vibrant cities, spectacular buildings and colourful traditional cultures, the region offers the perfect introduction to the country and its people.

There are, however, far more great things to see and do in the ‘Land of Kings’ than you can hope to pack into a couple of weeks, which is why, after venturing further afield, lots of our clients return for a second look.

Having ticked off the main sights on your first TransIndus journey, it’s a good idea to slow the pace and travel more deeply, spending time in some of the lovely rural heritage properties where you can enjoy a wealth of unique experiences.

We’ll be showcasing some of the best of these in blogs and newsletters over the coming weeks, starting with four very diverse ways to engage with the landscape and way of life in Rajasthan.

Click through the links below to see videos and photo galleries that are sure to inspire. You can find out lots more about all of these special experiences by contacting our consultants, who will have many ideas for how they may be incorporated into different tailor-made tours.
