What's included in the EUR 645 price?

Accommodation throughout the 11 days, group transportation via bus/minivan, and guided tours of major sites are included. Confirm whether meals, internal flights, and entrance fees are covered when booking, as packages may vary.

How much time do we spend at each destination?

The itinerary spans eight locations over 11 days, meaning 1–2 days per destination on average. This allows enough time for major sights but requires selective exploration; prioritise what matters most to you before departure.

Is this suitable for first-time visitors to India?

Yes, this tour is designed for travellers new to India. Guided transport, pre-booked accommodation, and structured sightseeing eliminate logistical complexity, though first-timers should prepare for long driving days and cultural differences.

When is Mount Abu visited, and why is it included?

Mount Abu is typically visited mid-tour as a cooler respite from the desert. Its Dilwara temples are among India's finest marble monuments and offer cultural depth; the hill station's lower temperatures also provide relief from extreme heat.

Are camel safaris and desert activities included?

Camel safaris are commonly offered in Jaisalmer and Bikaner on Rajasthan tours, but confirm whether they're included in your package or require additional payment when booking.

How many nights of travel are actually in transit vs. settled accommodation?

With 11 days and 8 destinations, expect 1–2 nights per city with some days spent travelling between locations. Settle into each city for sunrise and sunset experiences; overnight buses are not used on this itinerary based on typical Rajasthan tour structures.
