About this experience

70% of India still resides in villages and the pace of life, their traditions and daily routines are far removed than what you will see while traveling through the larger cities. Rajasthan is the quintessential India experience filled with vibrant colours, abundant wildlife, huge forts and grand palaces, expanses of golden sands, picturesque villages, brightly dressed locals and unmatched hospitality. Udaipur and its environs offer some of the best opportunities to experience both; explore the timeless and mystique magnificence of this state and appreciate the simplicity of friendly village locals.Ride through villages like morvania, varda, hawala where you will get a chance to see farmers, villagers, cattle, birds and of course, a diverse rural landscape. Stop at Tiger Lake for a refreshment. Then, continue to ride towards the Fatah Sagar Lake.
End the ride back at Amba Mata temple.
This is an active tour but well worth the opportunities for stunning photography are endless.
