Rajasthan, India
Are you ready for the romance of Rajasthan? Let Cosa show you multi-coloured cities, majestic palaces and magnificent animals. Stay in luxurious princely pads, then head away to spot abundant wildlife, such as the tigers in Ranthambore National Park. We’ll take you to the gems of Jaipur, the blue houses of Jodhpur and the golden city of Jaisalmer. How about a camel safari in the desert? Or the opulence of the Maharaja Express train. Rajasthan is undeniably a jewel in the crown of India.
Beautiful Jodhpur
The blue houses in the old town of Jodhpur are a photographer’s delight. For the best view, head to the Mehrangarh Fort to see the extraordinary ‘indigo sea’ below. Wander through alleyways absorbing the sights and sounds of this captivating city, then return to your palatial hotel to cool off in a pool at the end of the day.
Regal Jaipur
If you love jewellery, Jaipur is the place to be – this city is brimming with busy bazaars where craftsmen create perfect pieces out of gorgeous gems. Away from the markets, there are ornate royal palaces, majestic forts and pink walls, earning Jaipur its title of the Pink City. Take a trip to see tigers in Ranthambore National Park.

Romantic Udaipur
With its narrow lanes and surrounded by lakes, Udaipur was once named as the most romantic spot in India. Many of its former palaces have been turned into indulgent heritage hotels. Arrive in the city in style on a luxury train, then take a cruise across Lake Pichola to glimpse the grandeur of these truly beautiful buildings.
Golden Jaisalmer
Close to the border with Pakistan and the Thar Desert, Jaisalmer is famous for both its yellow stone architecture and its ‘living’ fort. Thousands of people live within its walls, and the fort attracts many visitors to see its Jain temples. Let Cosa arrange for a private guide to explain more about this golden city.
