 RAJASTHAN, Forts and Palaces
11 days , 10 nights

The diverse state of Rajasthan is a stone's throw from both Delhi
and Agra, the latter famed for the Taj Mahal. It is home to the Rajput warrior clan whose legacy is an amazing collection of forts and incredibly impressive castles and palaces. 

Join Pedaltours as we leave the highways behind and  cycle through villages where we will share the road with goats and camels - perhaps even an elephant; see local women pumping water at the communal well and be overwhelmed by magnificent Moghul forts rising above deserts and towns.

The contrast between the lush green state of Kerala and the desert state of Rajasthan couldn’t be greater.  Kerala has a huge range of crops, tea plantations and much birdlife, in addition to the occasional elephant, monkeys, deer and elusive tigers.  As with all our tours, we stay at very comfortable lodges, the tours are fully supported  and stay on quiet roads.  Richard Oddy will be accompanying our inaugural trip to both states next January; contact us if you would like to join him!
