Your itinerary starts in Delhi, where you'll take a tour of
India's capital by rickshaw, travel in the female-only carriage of
the Metro to explore Old Delhi and the Jama Masjid, the city's
oldest mosque, before spending a night dancing under the stars in
the Thar Desert. You'll enjoy guided tours of Jaisalmer and
Jodhpur, eat delicious home-cooked Indian food and try local
delicacies, such as lassi and dal baati.
In the Pink City of Jaipur, Rajasthan's capital, you'll tour the
famous Amber Fort before leaving for the Ranthambhore National
Park, where you'll do game drives in search of majestic Bengal
tigers. Finally, you'll enjoy a memorable sunset visit to the
glorious Taj Mahal, which took 22 years to build.
As well as these iconic sights, you'll visit off-the-beaten
track villages, stay in heritage hotels, interact with locals and
get plenty of opportunities to shop ethically. You'll also learn
how to dress in a traditional sari.
This is a female-only and female-led tour of Rajasthan's many
highlights, which will also give you a unique perspective on the
struggles of underprivileged women in India today, many of whom are
dealing with the cultural challenges of being divorced, widowed or
the victim of an attack. India is a unique, sometimes challenging,
but always mesmerising country which, once visited, will stay with
you for ever.
