Arrival
at Delhi and the representative of Nature Safari assist you to the hotel where
you are checked in.
Day 2 : Delhi
Welcome to the city of Delhi, the capital of India. A city that is as old as
civilization itself and nurtured with loving care in the hands of several dynasties.
As history unfolds itself, we find Delhi a city of magnificent kings and princes,
men of great culture, learning and refinement who created famous masterpieces
like the Qutab Minar, the Diwan-e-Aam and the Pearl Mosque in the Red Fort.
Day 3: Delhi - Udaipur
Udaipur is another city in the state of Rajasthan that attracts tourists from
all the spheres and corners of the country.It is better known as the jewel of
mewar.
Day 4: Udaipur - Jodhpur
Situated in the same state of Rajasthan is the city of Jodhpur which is a few
hours drive from the city of Udaipur.Nestling within the depths of the Thar
Desert, is the stronghold of the Rathore clan - Jodhpur, once the capital of
the former princely state of Marwar, the second largest city of Rajasthan, after
Jaipur . The town was once known as Marwar, which means 'Land of Death', probably,
referring to the harsh desert climate.
On arrival at the city the officials assist the guests and they check into the
hotel.
Day 5: Jodhpur
The
6th day of the trip is dedicated to sightseeing of Jodhpur.
Day 6: Jodhpur - Jaisalmer
The next morning we drive to Jaisalmer. Upon arrival check in at Hotel Gorbandh
Palace.
The name Jaisalmer evokes a vivid picture of sheer magic and brilliance of the
desert. Local color and warmth prevail over the inhospitable and forbidding
terrain, imbuing the medieval town with a special magic. One of the main attractions
is the imposing 12th century Jaisalmer Fort. The beautiful havelis which were
built by wealthy merchants of Jaisalmer are yet another interesting aspect of
the desert city. And, of course, the romantic sand dunes, the best way of exploring
them and the desert around being by way of a camel safari.
Day 7: Jaisalmer
You must have travel through the wild in jeep and elephant backs, but what about
a camel safari in the desert of Jaisalmer. Feel the adventure of a Camel Safari,
which takes you through the golden sands of the vast Thar Desert - primeval,
savage and lonely. Ride through sandy landscape, passing through remote villages.
Camp on the solitary oasis, experience the dark starry nights and dance to musicians
playing a haunting, stringed instrument.
The special cultural performances on the sand dunes, the camps set up for the
travelers, the traditional Rajasthani meals and the picturesque hamlets with
friendly folks, all make Thar Desert Camel Safaris Asia's fastest selling adventure
holidays.
Day 8: Jaisalmer - Bikaner
Drive to Bikaner and on arrival at the city the guests are taken to the hotel
and checked in. And the visit into the city is planned after a delicious lunch
at the hotel.
If you thrill to the inexorable forces of nature do not miss Bikaner. This is
true desert country. You must dismiss any picture post-card ideas of the desert,
however. There are few sand dunes here. The Thar Desert is hard, rocky soil,
solid as brick. It is scrub-country, not cactus land. Gorse, thorn, milkweed
sprout precariously and the earth is alive with brazen insects and bolder birds.
Day 9: Bikaner - Mandawa
An
exhaustive tour of the state of Rajasthan takes the guests further into the
vast state in the northern region. We reach Mandawa and check in at Castle Mandawa
/ Mukundgarh Palace and plan an afternoon sightseeing of Mandawa.
Mandawa lies in the heart of shekawati a painted arched gateway adorned with
Lord Krishna and his cows Leeds to the bazaar. You can wonder through the streets
where mansions of rich merchants are adorned with elaborate frescoes.
Day 10: Mandawa - Jaipur
Jaipur being the capital of Rajasthan cannot be missed out upon as it has a
rich heritage and cultural background to support it. It is a bustling capital
city and a business center with all the trapping of modern metropolis but yet
flavored strongly with an age-old charm that never fails to surprise a traveller.The
old Jaipur painted in Pink can grip any visitor with admiration. Stunning backdrop
of ancient forts Nahargarh, Amer, Jagarh and Moti Dungri are dramatic testimonials
of the bygone era and a reminder of their lingering romance.
Day 11: Jaipur
Morning visit of the famous Amber Fort and in the afternoon visit the interiors
of Jaipur.
Day 12: Jaipur - Agra
Drive to Agra enroute visiting FatehPur Sikri. Upon arrival check in at Hotel
Clarks Shiraz in the city of the Taj.
Agra - The city known for the famous monument of love - the Taj Mahal. The Mughal
Emperor, Shah Jehan, constructed taj Mahal. It is said he built this monument
in the memory of his beloved wife Mumtaj Mahal. The Taj Mahal is ethereal at
any part of the day - blushing in the rosy glow of dawn or sunset, appearing
like a pearly mirage in the moonlight or reflected in the pools of the garden.
Perhaps the most moving view of the Taj is from an octagonal tower in the Agra
Fort further along the river Yamuna.
Day 13: Agra
Full day sightseeing of Agra and The Taj Mahal. The Taj is undoubtedly one of
the most spectacular buildings of the world. Renowned for its architectural
magnificence and aesthetic beauty, it counts among man's proudest creations
and is invariably included in the list of the world's foremost wonders. As a
tomb, it has no match upon earth, for mortal remains have never been housed
in greater grandeur.
Day 14: Agra - Khajuraho
We move towards the temple city of Khajuraho and take a flight there. Most celebrated
manifestations of Indian architecture are to be found in a group of temples
at Khajuraho in central India. Situated a hundred miles southeast of the town
of Jhansi in the modern-day state of Madhya Pradesh, these temples are over
thirty in number. These temples, unlike many others in central or south India,
do not illustrate a development over a long period of time, but were erected
over a relatively narrow period of hundred years from A.D. 950. The Khajuraho
temples represent, one might say, a happy and almost unique coincidence of religious
emotion, abundant patronage, artistic genius, and aesthetic sensibility. Fortunately,
these temples have weathered the climate for a thousand years and have withstood
neglect surprisingly well.
Day 15: Khajuraho - Bandhavgarh National Park
Before
we leave for yet another amazing wildlife heritage the guests are asked to complete
the excursions into the city of Khajuraho.Afternoon we drive to the Panna national
park. Upon arrival the guests are checked in at Jungle Resort. The next few
days are scheduled to be spent at this reserve before the trip is completed.

Day 17: Bandhavgarh National Park
Morning / evening game drive in the park.
Day 18: Bandhavgarh - Khajuraho - Varanasi
The visitors are taken to the Khajuraho airport for boarding a flight to Varanasi.
Varanasi, Kashi or Banaras, is older than traditions. The divine grace of this
city lies is unique combination of physical, metaphysical and supernatural elements.
Ghats of Varanasi are natural supplement to the concept of divinity. It is a
city that liberates soul from human body to ultimate.
The much quoted Sanskrit Skloka Proclame ‘ Kasyam maranam mukti’ (death in Kashi
is Liberation). In fact the extension of this belief could be visualized in
early concept of ‘ Pancha Trirtha’ symbolically identified with the human body
it is explicitly equated with the fire elements (Panch Tattva) of witch body
is composed interesting people now defining as all the Ghats are points on the
divine cosmic road ( 12th Zodiacs X 7cakras of body thus 98 ) represents its
manifest transcendental dimension.

day.
