DELHI – MANDAWA – BIKANER – JODHPUR – UDAIPUR – PUSHKAR – JAIPUR – Agra – Delhi

13 Nights / 14 Days Private Guided Experience, Art, Architecture & Authentic India 


Embark on an unforgettable journey through Rajasthan, India’s most vibrant and culturally rich state—where majestic forts, colorful bazaars, sacred lakes, and centuries-old art forms come together to tell the story of India’s royal past and living traditions. 


Led by Sunil Chindalia of Maasa Production, whose life is rooted in the soul of India- its textiles, tradition, and timeless culture.

 

This 14-day cultural tour is designed for those who seek authentic experiences beyond the usual tourist trail—from walking through the Mughal-era streets of Delhi, exploring painted merchant mansions in Mandawa, and witnessing the grandeur of Rajput palaces in Jaipur and Udaipur, to hands-on textile workshops in villages still practicing ancient crafts. 


You’ll travel across desert landscapes and royal cities, from the golden sands of Pushkar to the marble poetry of the Taj Mahal.

 

Along the way, you’ll meet local artisans, enjoy camel safaris, sample regional cuisine, and stay in a curated mix of 4-star and heritage hotels—some of them former palaces and havelis that echo the stories of Rajasthan’s glorious past. 


 

Whether you’re a first-time visitor or a seasoned traveler to India, this journey offers a rare blend of history, art, spirituality, and immersive culture—perfect for those who wish to travel deeper and see India through the eyes of its people.
