Itinerary
Day 01 / Arrive Delhi
Arrive in Delhi at any time.
Day 02 / Delhi
Travelling in India by trains is an experience that one should engage in at least once. Today we catch an overnight train to Ajmer then transfer to Pushkar, one of Hinduisms holiest towns and an essential pilgrim destination.
Days 03-05 / Pushkar Camel Fair
Thousands of people from rural India flock to Pushkar during this annual fair to partake in everything from livestock trading to religious festivities. A true sight to see is the first half of the festival during the camel and cattle trading fair, when the Indians spruce up their camels with fur and colourful adornments hoping to get the best sale. Throughout the fair around 50,000 camels are sold, decorated, shaved and raced. The religious activities dominate the later half, culminating when thousands of devotees take a dip in the holy lake on the full moon signalling the end of the fair.
Days 06-07 / Jaipur
Clothed in pink stucco, Jaipur is home to India’s second most visited site, the Hawa Mahal, or Palace of the Winds. Follow in the footsteps of the royal harem, watch the spectacle of a Bollywood film or ride an elephant to the entrance of Amber Fort Palace.
