O
ur unique mini-adventure enriches a classic first-time itinerary with experiences that transport its participants closer to the heart of India. The railway stations for example present a tableau as rich as a bazaar. All classes and castes that can afford the cost of a ticket are present, whilst many that can't are also present, plying their trade to the assembled. `Passage to India' readily springs to mind as one waits to travel (Chair Class) to Ajmer. A further sought-after experience that we've included is a stay at the historic Nimaj Palace, previously the ancestral home of a Thakur family. Firmly back on the tourist trail entering the so-called Golden Triangle formed by Jaipur, Agra and Delhi, we include a visit to Pushkar, a colourful, lakeside town, Fatephur Sikri, Akbar's deserted city and the icon of the entire subcontinent, the magical Taj Mahal.
