This is more than just a tour—it’s an invitation into the timeless world of Rajasthan’s royal hospitality. Carefully curated for lovers of history, elegance, and authentic experiences, this Rajasthan heritage hotel tour features a handpicked collection of real palace hotels, ancestral havelis, and family-run royal residences, each filled with stories, antiques, and a sense of living legacy.
