    Welcome to the beautiful chaos of Delhi! Arrive by flight, jump right into the hustle and bustle of the capital of India and its second most populous city. Considered one of the oldest existing cities in the world, Delhi’s importance lies not just in its past glory as the seat of empires and magnificent monuments, but also in the rich and diverse cultures.

Start with a drive past Rashtrapati Bhavan (the residence of the President of India), and visit India Gate (a memorial to 82,000 soldiers of the Indian Army who died in the period 1914–21 in the First World War).

    After breakfast, check-out from the hotel and head towards Bikaner. Bikaner is a vibrant, dust-swirling desert town with a fabulous fort and an energizing outpost feel. It’s less dominated by tourism than many other Rajasthan cities, though it has plenty of hotels and a busy camel-safari scene.

    Reach Bikaner by the afternoon. It will be around 4 hours drive. You’ll be crossing the countryside of Rajasthan, and on the way, you’ll find that the landscapes have changed a little. Jaipur has no sand dunes, but as you reach closer to Bikaner, you’ll see sand dunes, and more of Rajasthan’s traditional village folks with their camels and carts, working in fields. 

    Check in at the hotel on arrival. The evening will be at your leisure. Overnight stay will be at the hotel in Bikaner.
