Overview

The Rajasthan Village Tour is a 21-day journey designed for travellers who want to experience Rajasthan beyond its celebrated palaces and major cities. Beginning in Delhi, travel through the painted towns of Shekhawati and continue across Bikaner, Khimsar and Jodhpur before slowing the pace among smaller villages, heritage estates and rural landscapes at Sodawas, Narlai, Deogarh, Roopangarh and Kuchaman. Along the way, discover magnificent forts and havelis, local crafts, traditional communities and the changing landscapes of Rajasthan, balanced with time in Udaipur and Jaipur. The journey concludes in Agra with the Taj Mahal before returning to Delhi. Distant India Journeys brings these experiences together through private travel, carefully chosen character stays and local encounters that allow Rajasthan to be experienced with greater depth.
