India – A Private View

For centuries people have tried to understand India.
Most have failed.
For those keen to try, for those who believe that knowledge and understanding of a country is best achieved through art and history, this alternative itinerary through Rajasthan and the ‘Golden Triangle’ of Delhi-Agra-Jaipur is an opportunity not to be missed.
Visiting archaeological and historic sites of major importance as well as others rarely visited by group tours, Steppes Travelers will gain unrivalled insight into Rajput and Mughal culture through private access to art collections and through meeting local experts and community leaders.
With accommodation in historic havelis and palaces, this will be a sensory and physical experience far beyond the norm.
