Rain in rajasthan

Departure from your home country for Delhi.

Morning drive to Jaipur (approximately 04hrs driving time). Check-in at Khas Bagh set in the outskirts of Jaipur and see farms and hill slopes resonate with new life.

Later you can opt to engage yourself in a cooking demonstration that shows participants quick, easy ways to prepare Ornish-friendly foods; and learn dishes that are rooted in India’s age-old vegetarian culinary traditions yet adapted to today’s kitchen and lifestyle. Entrees are wholesome, healthy and fresh.

Also, while in Jaipur, pamper your taste buds with the ‘must try’ Ghevar. Indulge your sweet tooth into its light and airy honeycomb-like structure. Monsoons keep it moist! And hence traditional prepared during the rainy days only!

Move on to the heart of the state, strategically located between Jaipur and Udaipur is Shahpura Bagh set in the middle of a tree-bound estate, ecstatic in the rains even as the two lakes bordering the estate greedily await their fill. (approximately 04hrs driving time).

Afternoon at leisure!

Morning drive approximately 04 & ½ hrs to reach Chhatra Sagar, a place blessed by the monsoons every year. This is a deluxe luxury camp set on a picturesque reservoir is a rainwater harvesting site and a tranquil haven for birds and wildlife.

Morning drive to Jodhpur (approximately 02 & ½ hrs driving time). Within the serpentine lanes of the walled city is Raas Haveli. A design hotel built to give you some of the best views of the Mehrangarh Fort. Monsoons are the perfect time to watch the Mehrangarh Fort’s changing moods – now a deep brooding brown under an overcast sky or then a sparkling hue of red after a superb drench. That you can pamper yourself at the Ila Spa is another matter ! The clean-up of the stepwell of the square is another reason to be here and see ancient conservation science in action.

Making your way towards Udaipur, stop at Ranakpur to see beautifully sculptured Jain temples that were constructed in 15th century. South from Udaipur is Raas Devigarh another jewel, a superbly designed luxury fort hotel which allows you the luxury of watching the monsoons turn the rolling Aravallis around green and add sparkle to the country side (approximately 4 hrs driving time).

Drive on to the Bhainsrorgarh Fort, a heritage boutique hotel perched on cliff overlooking the Chambal River. (approximately 5 hrs driving time). On the way lies Chittorgarh, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the largest fortresses in India. A visit will be arranged if interested.

Closer to the jungles of Ranthambhore you will be awe-struck at the sheer contrast between what Ramathra Fort looks like in July and August, the landscape bedecked in monsoon finery and its stark winter scape.

Take a train from Kota (2 hours drive) to Gangapur City, wherefrom Ramathra is an hour away.

Take another train ride from Gangapur City to Delhi. Once in Delhi, transfer to a airport hotel for wash and change.
