Overview

About this package

Four days through the Shekhawati region's merchant towns — Mandawa, Nawalgarh and Fatehpur — where hundreds of frescoed havelis stand painted floor to ceiling with mythological scenes, trains, and early motor cars. A genuinely offbeat heritage trail for travellers who've done Jaipur and want Rajasthan without the crowds.
