India

City of Lakes

Day 1-4: Udaipur

Udaipur is called the Venice of India because everything is built around and on its seven lakes. It is mostly the atmosphere that makes this city unique but there are also a couple of things listed in our article not to miss.

India

Blue City

Day 5-8: Jodhpur

Jodhpur is also known as the blue city. You will find the name giving blue houses mainly in the old suburbs of the city, where mostly Bramans were living. This cast is considered the highest in the Indian culture. They did so because the blue color was meant to help against the heat and insects, but we are pretty sure they also did it to show their membership.

India

Golden Desert City

Day 9-11: Jaisalmer & Thar Desert

Jaisalmer is a city in the Thar Desert close to the Pakistani border. It is known as the golden city because of the golden sand and the sand colored houses.

It is a vibrant small city that you can best explore by foot or by rikshaw. The main reason tourists come to this place is to do a desert safari but there are also two other highlights worth visiting.

India

Pink City

Day 12-16: Jaipur

Jaipur is also known as the pink city, as many buildings in the old town are made of red sandstone. And as this red sandstone appears pink in the bright Indian sun it had its name.
With the Hawa Mahal there is one of India’s top landmarks in the middle of the city and there are so many other things to explore that you definitely need to plan more than one day to truly see the city.

India

Tiger Safaris

Day 17-19: Sawai Madhopur

Unfortunately to go to this unique natural park you have to stay in Sawai Madhopur which is for sure not the nicest place you have ever seen. There is literally nothing nice to see or do in this city. So don’t make the same mistake as we did and book a good hotel with a pool and a good restaurant and focus yourself on the safaris.

India

Lovestory of Taj Mahal

Day 20-22: Agra

Agra is home to the most famous monument of India. It is probably also the most expensive monument of India as in today’s equivalent it would have cost more than 800 Mio USD to build it. It was built by Shah Jahan, a Mughal emperor, as a mausoleum for his favorite wife, Mumtaj Mahal, and its expenses caused a lot of trouble.
