Havelis and palaces
Rajasthan through its houses as much as its forts, and the countryside in between.
All journeys
A long loop away from the busy circuit.
Bundi and Bijaipur as well as Jaipur and Udaipur; Jojawar, where a local train runs through the Aravalli hills and Raika herders keep their camels; Nagaur and Bikaner on the edge of the desert; and Shekhawati to finish, where merchant families painted the walls of their havelis.
