GREAT INDIA FESTIVALS: Kumbh Mela & Jaisalmer Desert Festival

Join us on this once in a lifetime event to witness the Great Kumbh Mela where thousands of pilgrims come to bathe in the holy river.  Stay in luxurious tents with butler service on a hill overlooking the Kumbh Mela grounds!  We are fortunate to be able to also attend the colorful desert festival in Jaisalmer with camel contests, music and dancing!  Revel in the shimmering desert sands of this golden city, ride a camel at sunset on the sand dunes and enjoy a jeep safari to a village nearby.
