- The trip covers a lot of Rajasthan, but do not expect to visit every place in the state. It is the largest state in the country and the distances are mind boggling.
- A fair bit of walking involved during the village walk in Udaipur, Bundi, Ranthambore, Pallai & Jaipur, The inner walled area of every city in Rajasthan is narrow-laned and congested, but it is the most interesting part of the city too. So whether you are shopping in Bapu bazaar in Jaipur, or marvelling at the temple in Ranakpur, your best mode of getting around is on foot. The vehicle will be at the nearest parking.
- Kindly cooperate with your trip lead and follow the guidelines given by her so that we can execute the plan as smooth as possible.
