Welcome to an enchanted journey through Indian history. A journey through
two of India’s most bewitching states, Gujarat and Rajasthan – states
rich with dynastic and cultural history. The region that has seen some of the
most ferocious battles and courageous kings in Indian history. For students of
life, two universities of the past. And for traveler, a close encounter with the
oriental mystique.
The fun comes up when the sun goes down. Unwind at
the " Watering Hole," a bar well stocked with the choicest liquors.
Have a drink with a friend and get into high spirits, as high spirits get into
you! And when you think you've had enough for the day (an unlikely possibility,
but neverthless), retire to the privacy of your chambers, and sleep with the memories
of an era that was, and a world that time forgot.
