EXOTIC ESTATES BIKE RIDE

This ride is great way to experience up close Rajasthan - Land of the Kings - is steeped in romantic history, chivalry and valour. Formerly known as Rajputana, it boasts of the finest fortress-palaces, built with sandstone quarried from the land itself. In contrast with the pastel shades of the desert landscape are the brightly coloured costumes of its handsome people. With its turbaned men and richly jewelled women, its havelis and villages, its fairs and festivals, Rajasthan beckons you. Stay at four heritage hotels that highlight the character of the land. India's Raja's and Maharajahs of the past have turned their exotic estates, palaces, fortresses in cities, hotch-potch bazaars, countryside and forests into hotels. Heritage hotels is a grouping of such gems, and for a dedicated India ‘buff', prepared to face the occasional technical imperfection and eccentricity of service or understanding, a visit to such locations give a rare insight into the world of princely India now largely lost.  You could be dining with a former maharaja or walking through his grand palace. With our chairperson's connections you will be staying as privileged guests in owner run heritage hotels the owners and they will personally arrange or accompany you to explore the region on cycles and interacts with the local folks. In the beginning of the tour we do visit all important cultural sites of India's Golden Triangle - Delhi, Agra and Jaipur.   EXPERIENCES AVAILABLE:  Private Access / Exclusive exploration
