Trip To Rajasthan And Varanasi
Overview
The eleven nights and twelve days tour will expose you to the culturally rich and traditionally diverse places in India. If the east is a testimony to the vibrant culture flourished on the banks of Ganga and Yamuna, then the west boasts about the magnificent structure of Rajputana Kingdoms. This unique journey will kickstart in the ancient city of Varanasi. Located on the sacred shores of the Ganges, the place is dotted with mystical temples reverberating with Vedic Chants. Everyone has their reason to visit the city, some come here to wash away sins in its sacred waters, some arrive here to cremate their loved one whereas some soak into the glory of its exuberant atmosphere. Agra is the next destination in this enthralling journey. Sitting on the banks of Yamuna river, Taj Mahal, Fatehpur Sikri, and several other forts and palaces will give you an insight into the great legacy of the Mughal Empire that played an important role in popularising the Indian music, classical dance forms, Indian architecture, and literature all across the world. From Agra, you will be heading towards the pink city of Jaipur. Scattered with palatial edifices and pink-hued buildings, every nook and corner of the place is a eulogy to the valor of the great Rajputs. While traversing through the place you will be visiting the grand architecture of City Palace, Hawa Mahal, Amer Fort, etc. Two hours drive from Jaipur will bring you to the spiritual destination of Pushkar. Nestled around the Pushkar Lake, the place carries the oldest temple of Lord Bhrama. It is also world renowned for its spectacular Camel Fair which takes place in the Hindu month of Kartika. From Pushkar, you will be heading towards the blue city of Jodhpur. Surrounded by the illustrious fort of Mehrangarh, Jodhpur is intertwined with winding roads, bustling markets, and medieval streets. Meticulously handcrafted by Asian Adventures, the extravagant royal lifestyle, the mysticism of ancient cities and the riots of colors played by the locals will surely leave a lasting impression on your mind.
