KINDLY DONATED BY MAHOUT, THE LODHI, SAMODE PALACE, RAAS, THE SERAI,<br />
MIHIR GARH, JAWAI LEOPARD CAMP AND BUJERA FORT<br />
A unique opportunity to experience India in<br />
style. Embark on this tour of Rajasthan in India<br />
and visit some of the state’s hidden gems.<br />
Begin your holiday in the lap of luxury in<br />
Delhi’s foremost hotel, The Lodhi. Take in the<br />
atmosphere of a true cosmopolitan city before<br />
travelling to Jaipur where you will stay for two<br />
nights at the Samode Palace. Lying in the Aravalli<br />
Hills, Samode Palace is an excellent example of<br />
Rajput-Mughal architecture. From here travel<br />
to Jodhpur and the bright lights of the city to<br />
stay in the gorgeous RAAS. Set in Jodhpur’s old<br />
walled city this boutique hotel offers a butler<br />
serviced pool, a choice of two fantastic<br />
restaurants and spectacular views of Meherangarh<br />
Fort. The rooms are decorated in an understated<br />
contemporary style, while traditional handcrafted<br />
Jodhpur red sandstone jhali (windows)<br />
provide a bright contrast.<br />
Continue into the heart of the Great Thar<br />
Desert, to Jaisalmer, where the Sujan Hotels have<br />
given a two night stay at The Serai, an<br />
‘outrageously luxurious’ camp situated in<br />
stunning desert surroundings. Enjoy a peaceful<br />
sundowner in the golden dunes under a star lit<br />
sky.<br />
A drive back East across the desert brings you<br />
to Mihir Garh, just south of Jodhpur, where<br />
you will stay for two nights. This luxury retreat<br />
is located in complete wilderness and is truly<br />
spectacular. It is famous for riding, desert picnics<br />
and camel safaris.<br />
From here, you will head south through<br />
stunning countryside to The Jawai Leopard<br />
Camp, situated north-west of Udaipur and a<br />
fabulous base from which to witness the local<br />
wildlife in its natural habitat. The Jawai<br />
Leopard Camp has ten luxurious tents all situated<br />
in beautiful landscapes surrounded by craggy<br />
granite formations of caves.<br />
Finally to Udaipur, also known as City of<br />
the Lakes and a city rich in culture, history<br />
and beautiful scenic locations. Bujera Fort is<br />
Udaipur’s only boutique hotel and is situated on<br />
the edge of the small rural village of Bujera just<br />
outside the city. With a backdrop of the Aravalli<br />
Hills, the views from the Fort are stunning and<br />
