This 20-day adventure is a feast for the senses — a vivid exploration of ancient forts, golden deserts, sacred lakes, and cultural treasures unlike anywhere else in the world.
From the moment you arrive, you'll be immersed in a world of contrasts and enchantment. Wander through royal palaces and massive fortifications that echo with the stories of warrior kings and queens.
