Excursion Overview
Ranakpur and Kumbhalgarh sit en route between Udaipur and Narlai, so it's well worth visiting one or both of these sights if travelling between Udaipur and Narlai by car. Kumbhalgarh, which comes under UNESCO's protected Hill Forts of Rajasthan, is perched on a hilltop 1100 meters above sea level. It's easily one of Rajasthan's most impressive forts, dating back to 1485. The ramparts are up to 20 feet thick with a perimeter wall that extends 36 kilometres. There are over 360 temples within the fort itself. Ranakpur, on the other hand, is known for its spectacular and intricate marble Jain temple. The sight dates back to the 1400's and its ornate carved pillars make it one of the world's most impressive Jain temples. We think both are fascinating.

First time clients of Holiday Architects and what a memorable trip they planned and delivered for us. Lisa and Clare put together 5 weeks of criss-crossing Sri Lanka and Rajasthan in India, whilst their excellent partners on the ground made sure we had the best experience possible. What made it so special were the quirky places we stayed, the unique experiences scheduled just for us and above all the generosity of our drivers and the many guides willing to share their personal insights on local customs and culture. It goes without saying we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Holiday Architects if you are planning that special trip and thank you Lisa and Clare, we loved it all!

We recently booked a holiday to India; we were helped all the way by Clare, who put together a wonderful itinerary for us. Whilst in India, we were really well supported by the local team. Our driver was fabulous and really looked after us. India is a truly amazing country with so much rich history, culture, wildlife and scenery. Above this, the people we met were friendly, interesting and interested, and a joy to meet. Thank you for a truly memorable trip.
