Boutique Rajasthan... Romance, Culture & Stylish Hotels in North India

15 days from £8,180 for 2025 per person

This itinerary features in our Top Ten Romantic Holidays.

At Ampersand we like to do things differently, so on this itinerary you won’t find any one night stops and there are certainly no large hotels; it’s boutique and character properties all the way. Perfect if you want a mix of the main sights along with truly rural experiences in the beautifully romantic desert state of Rajasthan.

Our Boutique Rajasthan tour is an ideal option if you value intimacy, are interested in days relaxing in the wilderness, wish to visit quaint rural settlements, but still want to take in the most evocative sights of Rajasthan; a holiday for true romantics at heart. Start with the beautiful lake city of Udaipur staying at the incredibly chic RAAS Devigarh, followed by the pretty settlement of Narlai where your accommodation is a lovingly resorted 17th Century Country Manor which blends perfectly with the setting. The pomp and majesty of Jodhpur follows where you’ll stay at the luxurious RAAS hotel where the magnificent Mehrangarh Fort takes command of your view up ahead. The reservoir at Nimaj is one of Rajasthan's loveliest and most serene spots and RAAS Chhatra Sagar, with its stunning lakeside camp is equally memorable with beautiful countryside and birdlife surrounding you.

The trip is rounded off with a three night stay in the wonderful Samode Haveli in Jaipur. Agra and the Taj Mahal, or even a jaunt to try to spot a tiger in Ranthambore, can easily be added to this tour.

Client Testimonials

I had a very lovely time and was looked after splendidly. My first visit to India could not have been better, save for being longer! But I shall return at some point and I shall look to you to make the arrangements.
- Matthew Nicklin, North India
Ballyfin was great - we loved it! Best things were the amount of space, it felt like you had the whole place to yourself, the history of the house, and the staff. We'd definitely recommend it. Thanks very much for all the help getting it booked!
- Mr Wyburd, Ireland
Ampersand’s preparation, attention to detail and interaction before and during our trip show exactly why good travel agents have a role in today’s internet booking age. They were a delight to deal with!
