This notable 8-day journey through North India blends the iconic Golden Triangle with the lively culture of Rajasthan, timed around one of the most remarkable festivals in the region — the Pushkar Camel Fair. Experience the contrasts between Old and New Delhi, the timeless beauty of Agra’s white marble Taj Mahal, the enchanting Pink City of Jaipur with its royal splendor, and the charming, sacred town of Pushkar.
The Pushkar Fair concludes each year during Kartik Purnima, the full moon night of Kartik, when the desert comes alive with color, celebration, and devotion. Thousands of decorated camels, horses, and cattle are bought, sold, and paraded; folk performances fill the air with festive magic; and markets brim with Rajasthani crafts and textiles, while pilgrims take ritual baths in the holy Pushkar Lake.
From shining forts to moonlit courtyards, every day offers a blend of festival energy, spirituality, history, culture, and comfort — an authentic journey into the heart of India.
