I am a 63 year old woman, although reasonable fit, my knees are a problem and I may not be able to do very long walks. Is this trip alright for me?

This trip can be suitable for reasonably fit travellers; however, it does include walking tours, market visits and fort sightseeing with stairs and uneven surfaces. Transport such as tuk-tuks, rickshaws, trains and private vehicles is used frequently, which helps reduce walking. All activities are optional, and you are welcome to take breaks or opt out of longer walks. If you are comfortable with short to moderate walks at a relaxed pace, the trip should be manageable. We recommend supportive footwear and advising the leader of your knee concerns at the start of the trip.

Can you quote a total price to include: Airfare from Vancouver, BC Airport transfers One extra hotel night before the start of the Trip and another for the last day of the tour. Is there a solo charge?

A single supplement is available if you'd prefer not to share a room on this trip. The single supplement excludes Day 2 (Overnight Train) and Day 3 (Camping) where you will be in shared accommodation and is subject to availability.

This is what I wrote on the Intrepid site: From fabulous forts to women's cooperatives, and from wonderfully memorable train journeys to a night sleeping under the stars in the desert, what a treat it was to share so many of the wonders of Rajasthan with a great group of women from six countries. And having the awesome Ankita as our guide made the experience even more special and lots of fun too - she was amaaaazing! I would have no hesitation in recommending this trip...and I just wish Intrepid did more women-only ones!Show more

Though I was initially very nervous about traveling to India by myself as a woman, I am so glad I did because our guide Ankita Jaiswal made me feel at ease from the beginning to end of this special trip. She is an incredibly thoughtful and caring guide, constantly making sure everyone on the trip is comfortable no matter their age, fitness level, or travel experience. Ankita is well informed and a fantastic storyteller. Her passion for India’s history and culture is wonderful, and she made our experiences in each location richer and more meaningful!Show more

It is so lovely to hear about your experience Lauren!

The IJ Women’s Tour of Rajasthan was excellent- from start to finish. Itinerary was excellent with a mix of ‘must see’ key tourist hot spots, as well as engaging in things that one may not have done with not being guided. There was also good scope for added activities and down time. Accommodation was very impressive. What made the Tour as great as it was was our Tour Guide Ankita who was a superb leader. Excellent communication, guidance, kept us together, we never missed a bus or a train, great knowledge passed through eg - on the bus rides and the local food markets, and has a great sense of humour. She was able to keep us together as a group and managed all the different personalities and age ranges very well. Having someone to ´speak’ the language, negotiate services and tipping etc made things so much easier. Ankita also showed great flexibility when it was necessary. IJ’s is very lucky to have Ankita on staff, and our group were very blessed to have her as our Tour Guide.Show more

I had the most amazing time on the women's trip around Rajasthan in India! The group was amazing and the people we met where very interesting and inspiring. The hotels and food places we went to where excellent and the trips to things like the Thar desert where beautiful and fun. Ankita was an amazing guide, very knowledgeable, organized and professional but also was a part of the group and a friend to all of us. I felt like I learnt a lot on this trip and I came away feeling really refreshed and inspired about the future. It was an amazing experience and certainly something I won't soon forget!Show more
