Though it does not traverse very many cities, this itinerary encapsulates the colour and vibrancy of the region. Introduction to India, are the seven cities of Delhi, amicably rubbing shoulders with modern cosmopolitan living. Agra adds further insight, particularly to the Mughal era. As tribute to the golden age of culture that it nurtured stands that ‘monument to eternal love’ – the Taj Mahal. The interplay of cultures is clearly visible in Rajasthan, but there are forts, such as the one at Kumbalgarh near Deogarh, that proudly assert they have never been successfully assailed. At the edge of the Thar Desert stands Jodhpur, one of the three most powerful of the erstwhile kingdoms of Rajasthan. The splendour of its imposing fort, glory of the many palaces and havelis and vibrant attraction of its bazaars make it one of the most popular destinations in Rajasthan. Charming Deogarh is off the beaten track, and the warm hospitality of the royal family makes it the ideal base for excursions to surrounding attractions.
