Rajasthan, Jaipur, Jaisalmer & Jodhpur

Rajasthan in India has a Royal and Warrior heritage. Its worth a leisurely tour. Its a place to first hand experience the dusty desert, medieval history, Royal Palaces, complexly structured society - and of course cows on the road.
But Palace on Wheel is a Train of Royal Coaches for a whirlwind conducted group tour in seven days. It does leave you breathless and disoriented - but is best for people who cannot afford to stand and stare.
The tour covers Jaipur, Jaisalmer, Jodhpur, Sawai Madhopur, Chittorgarh, Udaipur, Bharatpur besides Agra & Delhi on way.It takes you to Forts, Palaces, Havelis, Tiger Reserves & Bird Sanctuaries.
I took the tour starting 17th Sep. You get to ride an elephant and then a camel on the sand dunes of desert. There is lots of shopping opportunities - as Rajasthan has also a tradition in handicrafts, embroidery, leather goods, toys and sculpturing.
I indulged in my hobby of photography and stitching the landscapes. Here are some of the stitchings.
