In the afternoon cross over to Old Delhi to photograph interesting mosques, monuments and forts relating to its history as the capital of Muslim India between the 17th and 19th centuries.

Day 05 - Jodhpur - Jaisalmer

After an early breakfast, we'll drive through desert country to Jaisalmer, stopping along the way at roadside tea shops for impromptu photo sessions. Depending on road conditions, we may arrive in Jaisalmer early enough in the afternoon to sneak a quick look at the Jaisalmer Fort, with its exquisite carving on yellow sandstone. The Golden City of Jaisalmer is a testimony of a by-gone era.

At sunset we'll move from the fort to the outskirts of town to photograph a golden sunset at the nearby Cenatophs. We'll spend the night in Jaisalmer. Overnight at hotel. (Breakfast)

Day 06 - Jaisalmer

In the morning we'll have a sunrise shoot of the Jaisalmer Fort, then tour the residential portions of the fort where one third of the population of the old city lives. The design of the houses and the lifestyles of the people occupying them remain as they were a couple of centuries back. We'll also witness the ornate havelis of this ancient citadel.

   


Later in the day we go on an excursion to the fascinating desert village dunes of Khuri. The friendly locals will invite us into their simple mud homes with earthen floors and no electricity or running water. Here the women walk two kilometers to the well and carry the water home on their heads.It is here that we'll explore the desert on camel back. We'll photograph silhouettes of the camels in the desert with the backdrop of the setting sun. The stillness of the desert, the clear sky, local Rajasthani music and the general atmosphere make the place a very romantic experience. Spend the night in Jaisalmer, option of a tented desert camp/ hotel.

Day 07 - Jaisalmer - Luni

After breakfast we'll drive to visit the Bishnoi Village, where centuries old traditions still permeate the feudal lifestyles. Colorfully attired men and women carry on their chores and traditions in their mud-floored village huts. In the afternoon we'll continue on to Luni, where we'll spend the night at Fort Chanwa. Overnight at hotel. (Breakfast)

Day 08 - Luni - Pushkar

In the morning we'll drive to Pushkar - The sacred city of Brahma. There will be plenty to photograph - the countless camels ambling their way across the golden sands of Rajasthan, horses marching towards the site of the fair with their masters and an assemblage of numerous cows and sheeps, men with large colorful turbans, women wrapped in exquisite jewelry from head to toe and children dressed in their colorful traditional attire. Overnight at tented camp. (Breakfast)

Day 9 - Pushkar - Jaipur

After a leisurely breakfast, drive to the city of Jaipur. The people here are known to be dynamic and colorful, and a walk through the lanes here is a walk through history. Here pink turbans jostle with saffron odhinis (ladies' scarves), and camel buggies and elephants are as commonly found as cars and buses. In the afternoon we'll go for a walking tour of Jaipur and its colorful bazaars. Overnight at hotel. (Breakfast)
