Rajasthan is famous for forts, but it is also one of the best places in India for wildlife. This tour links three very different reserves on one easy route from Delhi.
Keoladeo National Park at Bharatpur is a UNESCO World Heritage wetland where hundreds of bird species gather in winter. Ranthambore is India's best-known tiger reserve. Jhalana, on the edge of Jaipur, has one of the highest densities of leopards anywhere.
Between safaris there is still time for Jaipur's Amber Fort and the old city. More Rajasthan routes, from short first trips to the full desert circuit, are on our Rajasthan tours page.

I travelled twice with Go India Nepal. In 2019 for 4 weeks with Babu, together with my 2 adult daughters, and in 2025 2 weeks with Suraj, together with my wife. Both trips were perfect !! Both are safe drivers, speak excellent English, and very respectful to their guests. Highly recommended.
