Rajasthan was quieter than I expected and the camp was comfortable. Hotels were clean and central, which saved a lot of time. Never went hungry, and the tea appeared exactly when it was needed. Solid operator.

Rajasthan was quieter than I expected and the camp was comfortable. Accommodation was a notch better than the price suggested. Food was plentiful and hot, which counts for a lot at altitude. Good value for what's included.
