Route planning was the strong point — long days, but the stops were in the right places. Dorms were tidy and the common areas were where the group actually gelled. Worth every rupee.

Rajasthan on two wheels is the way to see it. No complaints about the organisation. Dorms were tidy and the common areas were where the group actually gelled. Meals were good throughout and the vegetarian options weren't an afterthought.
