Rajasthan & North India Holidays


asia
This is the India you’ve probably been dreaming about. A land of bewitching palaces and mystical temples, imposing fortresses and magnificent scenery.

Climb north from the plains to the quaint colonial hill station of Shimla where the towering peaks of the Himalayas crowd the horizon. Breathe in the fresh air, delicately scented with pine and rhododendron, and marvel at the stunning views towards the world’s mightiest mountain range.

Spiritual and seductive, and one of the oldest inhabited places on the planet, Varanasi on the banks of the Ganges is also one of India’s holiest cities. The Hindu pilgrims that flock here provide one of India’s most enduring images. Amritsar is the cultural hub of the Punjab and a visit to the Golden Temple, Sikhism’s most sacred site, should not be missed.

Alternatively ride a camel deep into the sand dunes of the Thar Desert, enjoy a little downtime in lakeside Udaipur – India’s most romantic city or be enthralled by tales of Rajput valour in Rajasthan’s fortress cities. Wherever you choose, you are bound to fall under India’s spell on your travels through Rajasthan & North India.

Trailfinders offers a range of North India & Rajasthan holidays and we have a dedicated team of destination specialists who are a mine of information about what to do here, often with first-hand travel experience. Whether you want to explore India with a private car and driver, on a sociable small group tour, on a luxury rail journey, or are simply looking for advice on where best to enjoy your Goa beach holiday - they are the perfect people to ask.

WHERE TO GO IN RAJASTHAN & NORTH INDIA

North & Central India map

The spiritual and cultural heart of the Punjab, Amritsar’s fascinating maze of narrow streets and bazaars attest to the city’s history as the traditional gateway to India on the overland route from Central Asia.

Deep in the Thar Desert and referred to as India’s ‘Golden City’ due to the honey-gold sandstone from which it is hewn, Jaisalmer is known for its magnificent mansions and desert safaris to the Dunes of Sam.
Jodhpur

Ladakh
Ladakh, the ‘Land of High Passes’ is a rugged wilderness in the far north of India surrounded by majestic mountain scenery and enchanting Tibetan style palaces and monasteries at every turn.

Infamous as the scene of the Siege of Lucknow during the Indian Mutiny against British rule, Lucknow boasts splendid Raj era buildings, superb mausoleums and flavoursome food.

Udaipur
Perched on the shores of shimmering Lake Pichola, Udaipur was described as ‘the most romantic spot on the continent of India’ by the East India Company agent in 1829 and it has kept hold of this crown to the present day.
Varanasi
