Description of Rajasthan luxury private tour, regal residences
Magnificent though it undoubtedly is, India’s Golden Triangle – from New Delhi to Agra and Jaipur – is a well-trodden and busy route. Our Rajasthan luxury private tour puts a different spin on the Golden Triangle, departing the tourist trail to explore the heartlands of Rajasthan whilst accommodating you in a series of superbly restored heritage properties, including two luxury hotels that were formerly royal palaces.
Your journey, which is tailored and can be adapted to you, begins in New Delhi, where you can tour the old quarter on an exciting rickshaw ride. Then, proceed to the Chambal Safari Lodge, a superior tented camp that supports local conservation efforts. From here, you can take a memorable cruise along the river.
In Agra, the Taj Mahal awaits, the greatest monument to love ever built. And then it is on to the beautiful ‘Pink City’ of Jaipur, where you’ll relax for a few days to really soak up the atmosphere, with the option of a cycle tour.
Having completed the Golden Triangle, travel by road into rural Rajasthan for a couple of nights staying in historic family-owned hotels that were once royal palaces. Learn about the buildings’ heritage from your hosts and enjoy some Rajasthani luxury before your tour finishes in Udaipur.

1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?
all of it! so much impossible to signal one
2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?
We crammed in a lot. if you are no longer young take a few more half days with nothing planned to rejuvenate. And take a day time flight out so you dont arrive at 3am Uk time as we did...jet lag was an issue for 4 days.
3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
yes benefited local people but our miniscule efforts to be environmental were drowned in a sea of plastic the Indians use, including most of the guides and companies we met
4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?
Fantastic. Diverse, contradictory, friendly, enlightening

As with all of our holidays and as a certified B-Corp we are committed to help protect the environment and the communities that we visit.Many of the properties featured in this itinerary are restored forts, havelis, and palaces, rather than newly built hotels. Restoration uses fewer resources than new construction, reducing carbon emissions, deforestation, and the impact on local ecosystems. Keeping these buildings in use also prevents them from falling into disrepair or being replaced with modern high-rises
On Day 4 you will be staying at the wonderful Chambal Safari Lodge, who are committed to ensuring the protection of the Chambal Valley and working with the Forest Department and local communities on eco-development projects. On the lodge grounds itself, indigenous trees are planted to continue forestation efforts. Additionally, engaging in nature-based activities, such as boat trips on the Chambal River, fosters environmental awareness and supports local conservation efforts.
You will also be staying at Shahpura Bagh. The original founder of the state of Shapura created the first rain water harvesting system in the region and the family of Shapura Bagh today work with the community to continue this.

This itinerary positively impacts local communities by facilitating cultural exchange and supporting regional development. Many of the hotels in this itinerary are historic palaces, havelis, and forts that have been carefully restored. By staying in these properties, travellers directly contribute to their upkeep, preventing them from falling into disrepair or being replaced by modern developments. This kind of heritage tourism ensures that Rajasthan’s architectural and cultural history is preserved for future generations.Staying in family-run accommodations like Chanoud Garh ensures that tourism revenue directly benefits local families and communities, promoting sustainable development. The property employs local craftspeople for restoration projects and offers village tours, allowing guests to engage with artisans and understand the socio-cultural fabric of the region.
In Delhi you have the chance to take a street food tour of Old Delhi - where you will be able to meet the chefs, bakers and families who have been providing food here for generations.
