or centuries, the magic of the desert has inspired travelers and adventurers. From Rudyard Kipling to David Lean, the mysteries of the desert and their rulers have nurtured fantasies and dreams. These mysteries come to life in VegVoyages' Desert Kingdoms of Rajputana adventure.

For sixteen days, you will step back in time and experience firsthand the timeless beauty of India's great Thar Desert in Rajasthan, where Rajput rulers, colorful-bustling bazaars, ancient Hindu and Jain temples, remote villages, impregnable fortresses, magnificent centuries-old palaces, caravanning camels, formidable badlands and exotic wildlife are the norm!
