The colours of this region alone will dazzle and amaze, from the locals’ vivid garments, to the vibrant landscape and the pastel hues of its cities, this is a destination waiting to enthral you!?
Jaipur
Jaipur is the capital of Rajasthan, is known as ‘the Pink City’ for its beautiful blush tinted sandstone. There are four must-sees in this exotic city, the City Palace, Jantar Mantar, the Amber Fort and Hawa Mahal, each one in itself fascinating and worthy of your attention.
* The City Palace right in the centre of the Old City, is an impressive complex of courtyards, gardens and buildings.
* The Jantar Mantar observatory received UNESCO World Heritage status in 2010. Constructed by the scholar Maharajah Jai Singh II, this celestial device is still accurate almost three hundred years on.
* Hawa Mahal, or Palace of the Wind, was built in 1799 to enable the ladies of the royal household to watch the life of the city. With its 953 honeycomb-like windows they were sure to have every conceivable view of the City Palace and the bazaar below!
* Just outside the city, in the arid countryside, the magnificent Amber Fort sits majestically on top of a steep hill. Getting there is best by elephant! Now, isn’t that the best excuse ever for not walking up a hill? When you arrive at the Fort you’ll find a number of impressive public rooms decorated with marble, mirror work and mosaics.
Pushkar
Pushkar is an enchantingly small town famed for its mystic pull. It’s a prominent Hindu pilgrimage town and devout Hindus should visit at least once in their lifetime. The town curls around a holy lake, said to have appeared when Brahma dropped a lotus flower. With 52 bathing ghats and 400 milky-blue temples, the town often hums with the sound of prayers, chanting, drums, gongs, and devotional songs.
From Pushkar don’t miss out on the opportunity to go on a desert adventure with a Camel Safari. Camel racing and trekking through the dunes will be memorable enough, but combined with dinner around an open fire and night sleeping out under a million stars, will ensure you can always trump anyone else’s camping experience!
Udaipur
Udaipur nestles around Pichola Lake at the foothills of the Aravalli hills. Its’ top attractions are The City Palace and the Jagdish temple. However it’s The Lake Palace Hotel, marooned in the centre of the lake, which is the city’s most iconic feature. Stay there, or be boated across for a meal at its rooftop restaurant, and you will remember it for its starring role in the James Bond film, Octopussy.
Jodhpur
Jodhpur is another of Rajasthan’s colourful cities is tinged with indigo and so named ‘The Blue City’. There is only one main sight here, the majestic Meherangarh Fort, which sits high on a cliff top with spectacular views down over the city.
Agra
Also on the Rajasthan trail is the small town of Agra, home to the unmissable Taj Mahal. With its majestic domes and beautifully-carved columns, it is magnificent at any time of the day, however it is at its most breathtaking first thing in the morning as the sun rises and casts a magical soft pink light across its elegant façade.

As always, Chris was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. He gave me good advice on my travel plans and booked the holiday on my behalf. I've used eshores a number of times, and will continue to do so.

We haven’t been on our trip yet but based purely on the experience of booking the trip we are pleased with the result. It started with a bit of a hiccup as we spoke to a member of staff who never came back to us but when we reached back out again we were placed in the hands of Andy who has helped us book a 2 week trip to India including the golden triangle and then a few days on the beach. Andy was very patient with us with our changes to our tailor made holiday, even when we asked him to explore different areas only to revert back to the original plan. He also recommended moving the holiday back one week which created a saving of over £700 which meant we could upgrade the room for our beach stay in Goa. Andy was also available on weekends if we wanted to speak and regularly picked up the phone as opposed to keeping it to purely email dialogue. Hopefully the holiday will be amazing but based on the booking experience I would recommend eShores if you’re looking to book a tailor made holiday

We have booked two big holidays this year for a group of 8 and a group of 10, Rachel has coordinated our holidays with the utmost excellence, during the consultation we changed countires hotels and even flights but it did not phase Rachel one bit. Exceeds customer expectations by helping advising and supporting throughout the holiday. We are off to Thailand and Dubai in August and then followed by India and Thailand in November, I have rang emailed Rachel many times during the booking and I got very prompt responses even on her days off. Rachel is a credit to EShores and EShores is setting standards regarding customer focus.

I can’t praise Lynette at EShores enough. She has organised my trips perfectly to the point that I wouldn’t use anyone else. She listens to what I want or to the problem I have and comes up with a solution. Nothing is too much trouble. Try them out yourselves and I bet you become a repeater too!
