In this land, fabled to have seen seven cities over the millennia, signs of the old are continuously jostling with the new, presenting a fascinating and ever-changing panorama.

For hundreds of years, Ajmer has been a pilgrimage center for Hindus and Muslims who visit the mausoleum of Saint Sufi Khwaja Moinuddin Chisti Hasan. Upon arrival in Ajmer, a tour representative will meet and greet you, and then your journey to Pushkar continues with a drive to the city that lies on the edge of the Thar Desert. At its heart is one of India's most sacred lakes, Pushkar Lake. Apart from its religious significance, Pushkar is known for its camel fair, held every year in the festival month of Kartik (October and November). Being a religious town, alcohol and non-vegetarian food is taboo. Upon arrival, check-in at the hotel and then go on a sightseeing tour to the Hindu temple of Lord Brahma.

In the afternoon, delve into the 17th-century Jagdish Temple, a large Hindu house of worship in the heart of the city, and marvel at the grand City Palace, a fusion of medieval European and Chinese architecture. End your day, before returning to the hotel, with a leisurely boat ride on Lake Pichola. With its main attractions being the two palaces on the islands in the lake, Jag Niwas and Jag Mandir, the spectacular views are sure to impress.

It is a magnificent fusion of different styles and influences. Known for his carvings in dark red sandstone, that tell the stories of brave royal women. The Jaswant Thada, on the other hand, is a royal cenotaph of Maharaja Jaswant Singh II. A memorial made from white marble, built with perfectly carved marble pieces. These marbles are extremely thin and shiny, and the result gives the outer surface of the monument a warm light when the sun's rays illuminate it. Later continue to Bikaner, the ‘Red City’, thus renamed due to the color of its impressive royal palaces and public buildings. It is an oasis in the heart of the Thar Desert. Its imposing palaces, beautiful and richly carved, and red-and-yellow sandstone temples show some of the most beautiful creations of the Rajput civilization.

The fort was built in red sandstone and houses a collection of old and beautiful buildings, wherein you can admire the beauty and frescoes of the recently restored paintings. Passing through all the doors, one has the sensation of participating in a royal procession as it was used in the past. The tuk-tuk ride (motor-rickshaw) in the old part of Bikaner allows you to better see the features of this place. You can admire the earl-20th-century richness of this city by driving by its magnificent Havelis (the large, beautiful houses of old merchants trading in jewellery, fabrics, spices, etc.). Afterwards, continue to Jaipur, the ‘Pink City’, founded about 300 years ago and today a well-organised, colourful and attractive destination. The capital of Rajasthan, famous for its pink sandstone palaces, was founded by the astronomer king Sawai Maharaja Jai Singh II who built it according to Vastu Shastra (a science that helps maintain the harmony of nature with urban planning rules).

Bedazzled by the Sheesh Mahal, a room with its four walls and ceiling completely embedded with glittering mirror pieces. Admire the frescoes of the Ganesh Pol gate and the colonnade of the Diwan-i-Aam. En route, make a photo-stop at the spellbinding Hawa Mahal or ‘Palace of the Winds’, the colorful façade of which has hundreds of windows, built in the pure style of Rajasthan. It was used as the palace for royal women because here they could not be seen while they observed the exterior. In the afternoon, visit the Maharaja's City Palace, the former Royal Residence, part of which has been reconverted into a museum. A private portion of it is still used by the Royal Family of Jaipur.

This city was built by Emperor Akbar in the 16th century but was deserted 14 years after its founding because of a scarcity of water.
