Taj Mahal Tour
Exotic
Rajasthan, the 'Land of Princes' is blessed with
awe-inspiring monuments to a fierce warrior past.
The magnificent forts of Jodhpur and Jaipur bear
testament to the battles that once raged across
this desert land, whilst the romantic palaces in
Udaipur, Fatephur Sikri and the world famous Taj
Mahal offer a glimpse of a softer side to North
India's rich history. Cycling through the villages
and towns we witness the timelessness of rural India,
seemingly unchanged for centuries. From Jodhpur
our journey takes us first to the beautiful lakeside
city of Udaipur, 'The Pearl of Rajasthan' and on
to the holy town of Pushkar, set amidst desert scenery.
Leaving the desert behind we ride to Jaipur, site
of the Palace of the Winds and impressive City Palace,
whose pink sandstone walls are overlooked by the
splendid hilltop Amber Palace. A visit to Northern
India would not be complete without a chance to
see Kipling's elusive tiger and Ranthambore, former
hunting reserve of the Maharajas, is one of the
best national parks to do this. We finish our journey
at the serenely beautiful Taj Mahal, whose white
marble exterior changing colour with the moving
sun never fails to impress
