TAL CHHAPAR & SHEKHAWATI
Shekhawati is simply beautiful. Every street, house and wall has the stamp of an artist's imagination in paint. Wherever you cast an eye, frescoes smile back. The plethora of these murals comes rather as a surprise in a land which is traditionally known as an 'impoverished corner of an arid land'. But then the whole of Rajasthan, which is partly sandy and partly rugged and blessed only in a few places with a lake or a patch of green, is an exercise in color. Color is the everyday life of Rajasthani people. You just have to visit Shekhawati to believe what a riot color and imagination can create together.

Breakfast on Board  07.30 hrs
