It is in the south of Rajasthan, roughly half-way between Jodhpur and Udaipur. This is the one part of Rajasthan which could be considered scenic in the standard sense of the word- the picturesque Aravali Hills are close by and are densely forested. On arrival check in to the hotel and relax rest of the day. Overnight stay at Jojawar.

Day 9 : Jojawar

Today morning have an unusual excursion from Jojawar to have ride in a local train through the hills- a great way to experience short-haul train travel in a truly local fashion.

There are other great possibilities from Jojawar- village visits, small temples in the forest to visit, wildlife sanctuaries, walks in the hills and some truly wonderful hospitality from the host family.

Day 11 : Udaipur

Dubbed ‘the most romantic city in India’, Udaipur is a truly unique place with major sites including the City Palace, Jagannath Temple and the island of Jag Mandir (which can be visited during your afternoon boat cruise on the Lake). While each major city in Rajasthan boasts markets which are unique and enthralling, those in Udaipur are particularly noteworthy, with major areas of interest including the many silversmiths and painters who still produce miniature works in the centuries - old Udaipur - school tradition.

Spend a day in and around Karauli where you will have an option to visit nearby Kalai Devi Wildlife Sanctuary. It is a part of the same forest system as nearby Ranthambore National Park. But the contrast between the two is marked, with many tourists visiting the latter daily, while Kalai Devi is well outside any major tourist route. This is low-key park is home to all the same animals as Ranthambore, except tigers, meaning you can walk in the Sanctuary, something not possible in many places in India. Karauli is also a great place to relax in the surroundings of your hotel, engage in conversation with your hosts whose family historic is a rich trove of enthralling stories or shop for bargains in the genuinely local markets nearby. Overnight in Karauli.

Day 17 : Karauli –Fatehpur Sikri- Agra

Depart Karauli and drive via Fatehpur Sikri to Agra. The abandoned Mughal capital of Fatehpur is one of the world’s ultimate ‘ghost towns’ having been occupied for only a very short time in the late 17th century and despite 300 years of exposure to the elements it remains in a remarkable state of preservation. Tour the area with a guide and later proceed to Agra and relax rest of the day. Overnight in Agra.
