Insights 2 India® (i2i) - Tour Organiser in India - Explore Incredible India through us!

A legendary land defined by the patchwork of kingdoms and principalities that were, till independence, ruled by maharajas, rajas, ranas and rawals. Bards that roam the countryside, picking out complex tunes on single-stringed instruments, still sing of heroic battles, chivalry and sacrifices. Silent, rocky outcrops transform themselves into proud stone forts that stand sentinel over the land. It is not difficult to imagine rank upon rank of loyal warriors streaming down the hillside ready for battle. If you listen carefully, the breath of the breeeze brings you faint echoes of clashing armour, neighing of horses and above it all, the spine-chilling trumpet of a charging elephant. Today, many of the forts and palaces have opened their doors to visitors as luxury hotels and resorts. Often run by members of the erstwhile ruling families, these have given a new lease of life not only to the building but also to the culture. Staying here is to almost travel back in time – to an era that was gracious, graceful and romantic. Starting from Delhi, the capital of modern India, this itinerary takes you across the state, bringing alive the vibrant colours of the desert state. Visit Manvar or Osiyan on the sand dunes and the great kingdoms of Rajputana – Jaisalmer, Jodhpur, Bikaner, Udaipur, Jaipur where even so many years after democracy handed power to the people, the old ways live on. In most places, erstwhile rulers are still addressed as ‘father’, ‘protector’, ‘provider of food’, and command both respect and loyalty. And, though the pomp and ceremony may not compare with what it was in the old days, just a glimpse of the shadow of a royal lifestyle can be a fascinating and memorable experience.
