Rajasthan is a large and colourful state and has enough variety by way of landscape – from deserts to forests to hills. A custom designed itinerary can be built around your specific areas of interest and the time available to you. At the very minimum you would need a week to 10 days to get a fair feel of the region; you could even spend a month!
For our Bike tours we’re using 350 cc single cylinder Royal Enfield bikes. This is an old English bike but is still manufactured in India and is unarguably the best bike for Indian roads. The best months for touring are from October to March, our winter season. You will also experience an unforgettable adventure in the company of like-minded friends and share collective knowledge of photography. Come join on this incomparable photo Rajasthan Pushkar Tour!
