The program of your trip
Namaskar !
Welcome to India. A country rich in culture, spirituality, landforms and bewitching deserts. We pick you up from New Delhi airport by cab in the morning before leaving for Pushkar, a 7-hour cab ride away. We’ll arrive around 5pm at the resort hotel, where you can enjoy a quiet moment on your own to rest or explore the surrounding area.
Pushkar
Time to visit Pushkar and its desert. This city is a major pilgrimage site for Hinduism. Nearby, you’ll discover Pushkar Lake, where pilgrims regularly visit to bathe in its sacred waters. We finish the day with another night at the resort.
Nagaur
We begin our tour of Rajasthan with a visit to Nagaur. The Ahhichatragarh Fort in Nagaur, a fortress built in the 12th century, is a sight to behold.
Pokaran
We take the road to Pokaran via Khichan. This town is a veritable bird sanctuary. The story goes that a man started feeding the animals, and over the years, more and more “damselfly” cranes migrated here each winter to feed.
Direction Jaisalmer
After a night in Pokaran, we take our bikes back to Jaisalmer. An opportunity to enjoy a camel ride followed by an evening of music, entertainment and a comfortable night in a luxury tent in Rajasthan’s Thar Desert.
Jaisalmer
Today we’ll visit the Jaisalmer fort, built at the very foundation of the city. We’ll take a stroll around the market, discover the architecture of the town with its remarkable havelis, its lake and watch the sunset.
Jodhpur
It’s time to hit the road again, heading for Jodhpur, Rajasthan’s second-largest city, a 265km ride where we’ll spend the night in a hotel. Nicknamed “the blue city” thanks to its houses mostly painted in this color, Jodhpur is a must-see stop on our tour of India.
Ranakpur
We’ll set off to discover Jodhpur’s Mehrangarh fort, from where you can admire the city from the heights for a dazzling spectacle. We’ll ride our motorcycles back to Ranakpur, where we’ll visit the Jain temple.
Direction Udaipur
Time to leave for Udaipur. On the way, we visit Kumbhalgarh, the village where 360 temples were erected, a small number of which are still standing today. We dine at sunset in Udaipur.
Udaipur
We’ll take time out for a short boat trip on one of the lakes bordering the city. We’ll then head off to explore the City Palace, the Jagdish Temple (a temple dedicated to Vishnu) and the market before enjoying dinner on the terrace.
Bundi
Off to Bundi for a visit to the Taragarh fort on a steep hill overlooking the town! We’ll also take a stroll through the market before spending our last night in a hotel before returning home.
Back
It’s time to return to Pushkar with our motorcycles before heading off into the night for New Delhi airport. It’s the end of your stay in India, this motorcycle tour of Rajasthan, from which you’ll leave with images in your head, dreams in your eyes and unforgettable memories.
