Holidays in Rajasthan
& Madhya Pradesh:
Central India

Explore the jungles and forts of Madhya Pradesh or the golden Thar desert in Rajasthan and its palaces. Discover a wealth of wildlife and stay in welcoming villages

Rajasthan

From colourful cities, majestic palaces and opulent forts to rolling dunes, camels and brightly coloured turbans. When you think of India, you think of Rajasthan – the ‘Land of Kings’. It is a truly diverse state, offering wonderfully contrasting holidays and traditional hospitality. Discover tiny hamlets with round thatched cottages dotting the sweeping semi-desert landscape, experience a camel trek into the dunes and marvel at the diversity of wildlife. Experience a true sense of community in this delightful hidden corner of Rajasthan.

There are five national parks in Madhya Pradesh, true jungle

 

Madhya Pradesh

The vast state of Madhya Pradesh calls itself the ‘Heart of India’, and so it is. It is home to the country’s greatest ‘jungles’ – from the Hindi word for forest. With dramatic, undulating hills, winding rivers and beautiful forests, it is little wonder that Rudyard Kipling was inspired by this remarkable highland area. The state hosts six tiger reserves. Enjoy access and unique insight into two of them. Traditional Tribal communities will introduce you to their village life in harmony with the Jungle. Contrast this rural life with the great Forts, Palaces and Temples in the state’s north-eastern corner. Journey deep into the Heart of India.

What people say?

"A very important aspect of these holidays is the aim of sustainable development to keep these communities thriving. This takes a great deal of hard work from everyone involved with Village Ways and it would appear they are now being rewarded for this."
Janet O
"We had a wonderful time. We were so well looked after by everyone from start to finish. Taxi drivers, guides and villagers could all not do enough for our safety and comfort. It’s also nice to come back from a holiday not only a little bit fitter but also to know that your trip has directly helped rather than damaged the places and people who you have visited."
