Rajasthan is India’s most iconic and frequently visited state — a land shaped by the legendary Rajputs, a formidable warrior caste that once ruled through majestic forts and independent kingdoms led by powerful Maharajas.

Here, vast desert landscapes, elephants, vibrant turbans, colorful saris, and grand palaces that seem lifted from the pages of Arabian Nights come together in a mesmerizing blend of culture and history.

This motorcycle journey covers approximately 1,400 kilometers through the heart of Rajasthan.
