Audley in Rajasthan & The North
Rajasthan is so packed with historical cities and beautiful monuments (including the Taj Mahal, Delhi and Jaipur) that you could easily spend an entire trip just in this region. If you do, our specialists can tailor-make a trip to make sure you never run out of things to see and do, or they can incorporate its highlights into your India tour.
Rural Rajasthan
Traditional Rajasthan itineraries move between the large cities which are home to some the states most famous attractions, however there is much more too see in this vibrant state.
Spending time in the rural areas between the cities allows you to break the journey and experience something completely different. Whether visiting a local school, watching a traditional potter ply their trade or joining a farmer tending to the crops, in rural Rajasthan you can experience a way of life that has continued largely unchanged for centuries.
Spending a couple of nights in a rural property not only offers the chance to recharge the batteries but often turns out to be one of the highlights of any trip.
Wildlife Watching
The National Parks of central India are the primary destination for tiger spotting and wildlife itineraries but the parks and reserves in the north of India are more readily incorporated into an itinerary.
With ease of access comes higher visitor numbers but despite the increasing levels of tourism the wonderful landscape provides a beautiful setting for India’s rich natural history.
A sustainable tiger population survives in Ranthambhore National Park and even if these graceful beasts remain elusive the huge variety of prey species, birds and indigenous plants and animals make any game drive a fascinating experience. Keoladeo Ghana Sanctuary near Bharatpur has long been popular with bird watchers while the Chambal sanctuary near Agra sustains over 200 bird species.
Watching natural history does not have to be hard work and the delightful tents overlooking the reservoir at Chhatra Sagar are the perfect place to relax, unwind and spot your feathered neighbours while sipping a gin and tonic.
