Special Notes for Rajasthan Historical Tour

Infographic showing how a traveler should plan their trip to Rajasthan to do everything a tourist wants when visiting the area. The most common way for travellers to get into Rajasthan is via the Jaipur International airport which is one of the top five busiest airports in North India. However if a traveler wanted then it would be possible for them to start their trip from Delhi upon request as it's just over two hundred kilometres away and there are limited connecting flights from Delhi to Jaipur rather than none at all from other parts of the world.
