About this activity

Explore two of Rajasthan's most significant cultural landmarks in a single day: the sprawling UNESCO-listed Chittorgarh Fort—India's largest—and the sacred pilgrimage town of Pushkar, famous for its 52 ghats and ancient temples bordering the Thar Desert. This immersive tour weaves together medieval military history, Hindu spirituality, and local storytelling.

We want to help you discover the medieval fort of Chittorgarh and an ancient Hindu temple in a small town named Pushkar.

The Chittor Fort or Chittorgarh is the largest fort in India. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The fort was the capital of Mewar and is located in the present-day town of Chittor.

Pushkar is a town bordering the Thar Desert, in the northeastern Indian state of Rajasthan. It's set on Pushkar Lake, a sacred Hindu site with 52 ghats (stone staircases) where pilgrims bathe. The town has hundreds of temples, including 14th-century Jagatpita Brahma Mandir, dedicated to the god of creation, which has a distinctive red spire and walls inlaid with pilgrims’ silver coins.

We are genuinely passionate about the transformative power of storytelling. Stories, history & legends can unite and provide insight across cultural, linguistic, or geographical boundaries.
