Duration : 14 Nights / 15 Days
Places Covered : Delhi - Neemrana - Mandawa - Kuchaman - Pushkar (Ajmer ) - Jaipur Samode - Peharsar - Agra - Delhi
Rajasthan as its name suggests is the land of Raja's (Kings). Post independence democratic India witnessed the merger of the Princely states of Rajputana, abolition of 'Jagirs' and land reforms, finally the withdrawal of the special privileges from the royal families a few decades after 1947.
These noble families lost their traditional means of livelihood and even the wealthy merchants left their homes for more lucrative pastures. Now, some of the ancestral homes find sustenance in this new lease of life - as heritage hotels. Families in residence for centuries now welcome you to their home guests. And each ancestral home is different, uniquely so, reflecting its own, exceptional history, tradition and period. While history is always at hand, there have been changes too, so that the homes are modernized to meet the needs of today's international traveller, with adjoining bathrooms, running hot and cold water, modern plumbing, even perhaps a swimming pool. Much of the charm of these heritage hotels are the individual attention and personalization; the very meals, for example, that were cooked for generations are still served at your table.
