Discover the beauty and chaos of India’s jewel state of Rajasthan as we make our way from the regal political centre of New Delhi to the tropical city of dreams, Mumbai. We sit by holy lakes, hike through lush forests, eat in Old City lane ways and cool white table clothed restaurants. We drink on rooftops over looking ancient cities, and wander through pink walled bazaars. There is yoga at sunrise, cocktails at sunset and endless chai and conversations with the smiling faced characters of each magical city we explore. This trip is for a first timer and a returner alike.
