Trip Informations
Why you’ll love this trip
Walk past the scenic hills, shimmering lakes and marble palaces of Udaipur – India’s most romantic city.
Keep your adrenaline charged with an evening tiger-spotting safari through the jungles of Ranthambhore – one of India's best known national parks.
Visit locals in their home on the border of sacred Pushkar Lake and the Thar Desert – share a meal together and gain insight into local life.
Snap a pic of the Taj Mahal – the incredible monument in Agra and one of the Seven Wonders of the World – then explore the Red Fort.
Soak in India’s changing landscapes and travel like a local with rail travel – by choosing trains to get around, you’ll be giving yourself the best opportunity for local interaction, at a more relaxed pace.
Is this trip right for you?
While there is no guarantee you will see a tiger during your safari in Ranthambhore, you may have a chance to see a variety of other wildlife, including hyenas, jackals, deer, langurs, marsh crocodiles, wild boars and birdlife.
Make sure your luggage is light and compact enough to be carried up and down multiple flights of stairs.
There are several long travel days on this trip. Some journeys take 6 to 8 hours but are a great opportunity to get to know locals, fellow travellers, and the diverse scenery. We are covering a lot of this vast country during the trip, so the journey is all part of the India experience.
Prepare for hot and sticky temperatures during the day and cooler climates in the evening, particularly in the desert. Layers are one of the best ways to tackle this disparity in weather.
We visit several temples on this trip, which requires a certain level of modesty. Please bring clothes that cover the arms and pants/skirts that go past the knees. A light scarf is also a good idea for covering shoulders and arms when it’s hot.
We've sourced our accommodation carefully and picked the best possible hotels in line with the Tuuur style of travel. Service and accommodation in India may be different from western standards.

It’s an exceptional trip that leaves you with a multitude of vivid images in your mind. India is truly impressive, and this 14-day itinerary allows for full immersion. Mahaveer is a very experienced guide, and we felt completely safe and confident throughout the entire stay. Transfers and travel were impeccably organized, no matter the mode of transportation. Being able to simply let go and fully trust the guide adds tremendous value to the experience as a traveler. Our group was also exceptional, and Mahaveer knew how to support and fully participate in this small community. Personally, I feel I now have an authentic image of India, and that’s largely thanks to our guide, who was able to reveal the many facets of the country’s culture.

This trip was really a very good one. I would suggest to anyone who does not know very much about India to start with it to approach this amazing country. My overall experience was extremely positive and everything worked smoothly. Just a small suggestion to improve this traveling experience. It could be nice to include a visit to Chittorgarh Fort as optional activity once the group is traveling nearby it, since this Fort surely deserves a visit.

Truly exceptional! I would do this trip again in a heartbeat. I was blown away by the variety of beautiful places and experiences, which I never would have found myself. Our guide Mahaveer made the trip too. He was so attentive and accommodating - I've never felt so well looked after. I have a treasure trove of beautiful memories from India now!
