India & Nepal Tour ..... |
|
 |
This wonderful tour reflects the superb variety on offer in
India and Nepal, the different landscapes, peoples, cultures and
colors. During this eighteen day journey, we not only take in
the cultural highlights, such as the Taj Mahal and the Pink City
of Jaipur - but we also include a two day camel safari and the
chance to camp overnight in the desert. We will at the same time
Visit Varanasi and Kathmandu Nepal that will greet you with the
Panoramic Himalayan view. The tour starts in the capital Delhi,
a fascinating blend of the old and the new. We move on to Agra
and the spectacular white marble of the Taj Mahal contrasting so
well with the red sandstone of Fatephur Sikri. Another cultural
highlight Jaipur, better known as the Pink City, with its
imposing Amber Fort are its famous landmarks, but the City
Palace and observatory are not to be missed and a camel safari
through the desert, with the romance of setting up camp under
the stars, are a must for any traveler to Rajasthan. Finally, we
visit Udaipur, a beautiful, romantic city surrounded by lakes
before go to Holy city Varanasi and continue our journey to
Kathmandu, Nepal the Himalayan Kingdom.
Pushkar : 132 kms from Jaipur on the edge of the desert lies the
tranquil town of Pushkar along the bank of the picturesque
Pushkar Lake. It is an important pilgrimage spot for Hindus
because it is home to the only temple in India of Lord Brahma.
According to Hindu mythology Lord Brahma is known as the creator
of the world and it is said that he personally chose Pushkar the
site for the temple.
Whilst in Puskar you will see pilgrims bathing in the holy lake.
Pushkar Lake has a mythological significance associated with it.
According to the myth, Lord Brahma was on his way to search for
a place to perform a fire sacrifice, while contemplating a lotus
fell from his hand and water sprouted from the place that it
fell, now known as Pushkar Lake. The Camel Fair: It is well
worth coinciding your tour of India with the Puskar Camel Fair.
Every November the township of Pushkar bursts into life for the
world's largest camel fair. Villagers come from all over
Rajasthan to trade camels and livestock, sell wares and
celebrate the holy month of Kartik. You will be bewildered by
the staggering number of camels present and not only are they
traded, they are decorated, treated to camel races and a camel
beauty contest is held! |
