This was a nice experience with family and friends we come together for this trip and really enjoyed the whole time .. I must say that Rajasthan is truly landlord kind maybe this is the reason this is called a Rajasthan.

I had a great trip through the beautiful Rajasthan. I was accompanied like an empress through this ramshackle country. I always felt very safe and comfortable with my kind driver. We always had an interesting conversation and also a lot of fun. It could not be better!!! All my insecurities about travelling alone as a woman through India quickly evaporated.
