We visited Rajasthan (my wife, my daughters and I) from 27 December 2011 to 8 January 2012. While organising the trip, after also hearing from some friends of ours, we turned to Karni to book a car with driver (for us Europeans, driving in India is absolutely impossible…). We found Karni a great help: besides getting us a comfortable car and a good driver at a reasonable price, he recommended some places that weren't in our original itinerary and that turned out to be very interesting. His friendliness, first shown by email, was confirmed when he invited us to dinner at his home in Jaipur (together with other Italian clients of his who were in the area). We also very much appreciated the nice souvenir he gave us there. The driver who accompanied us (Vegendra) was a very discreet person and always extremely punctual for appointments. He never tried (something that is quite typical in India, and not only there) to take us to shops or restaurants where he could have received a commission. He never tried to influence our decisions, and this was much appreciated.
Our tour was as follows:
– Delhi airport, where Vigendra came to pick us up
– visit to Delhi
– Agra with a visit to the Taj Mahal and surroundings
– Jaipur and surroundings
– Bikaner and surroundings
– Jaisalmer
– Jodhpur and surroundings
– Udaipur
– Udaipur airport to fly home via Delhi
We booked the hotels ourselves via the internet. Karni, however, can also offer this service.
Rajasthan is worth a visit.
and… thank you, Karni!
