Forts & Palaces of Rajasthan

The journey.

Rajasthan is India's great romance, and we design it without the queues — palaces that still belong to the families who built them, forts unlocked after hours, and the desert at the violet hour.

The cities Udaipur's lakes at dawn, Jodhpur's blue lanes beneath its fort, Jaipur's pink bazaars — each stayed in as a guest of the house, not a face in a crowd.

The desert Westward to the dunes: a camel at dusk, a dinner laid out on the sand under lanterns, and a fort-palace that opens its courtyards for no one else that night.

Home territory, elevated — the Rajasthan the brochures promise and rarely deliver.
