India: Discover Royal Rajasthan
Ride the Sands of Time
March 22 - April 4, 2026
with Karen Score
This trip has been planned with the "India Beginner" in mind! We will be exploring the vibrant region of Rajasthan ("The Land of Kings"), India's quintessential land of Maharajas and Medieval Forts and Palaces.
Our 14 day journey begins with three nights in Delhi, followed by a short flight to Udaipur, located on beautiful Lake Pichola, where we’ll spend the next two nights. Following that, we travel to the "Blue City" of Jodhpur and explore the massive Mehrangarh Fort and more over the next 3 days - Camel Safari, anyone? Next, we’ll venture onward to Jaipur, the "Pink City" and Capital of Rajasthan, where we’ll spend the next two nights. Highlights of Jaipur include the Amber Fortress and Hawa Mahal (Palace of Wind). From Jaipur we head to Agra, home of the blindingly beautiful, white marble Taj Mahal (one of the 7 Wonders of the World and most extravagant expressions of love) for two nights. Our trip comes to an end as we circle back to Delhi (with a stop in Vrindavan along the way) for one last night together. We will celebrate new friendships and life changing experiences.
Our travels from place to place will be cool and comfortable in our luxury van, and each night we will rest comfortably in the finest, most exquisite hotels (and even actual palaces!). Knowledgeable guides will proudly share the richness of India's history, traditions, culture, and spiritual practices with us. You’ll come to know and experience the royalty, majestic forts, lavish palaces, and famous temples that the Indian State of Rajasthan is known for. This is where you can find glittering gemstones (like emeralds and sapphires) and see the best craftspeople and artisans at work. The cuisine is delectable, the music is magical, there are colorful festivals and bazaars to enjoy, markets to meander through, and you'll see camels, elephants, monkeys, and, of course, the Sacred cows!
India is mystical, spiritual, chaotic, and confounding. It's a land of contrasts—extreme poverty along with abundant wealth, crowded cities and vast open landscapes, and a palpable feeling of calm within the chaos. You will meet the warmest, friendliest, and most welcoming people on this planet; and you will be astounded in a delightful way every day of this journey — that we can promise!
We are incredibly excited to be able to offer this experience to those who may have "VISIT INDIA" written on their bucket-list but haven't gone because of the distance or a feeling of intimidation or fear or whatever… We totally get that and are here to help every single step of the way, from the minute you register! We’ll help with information about recommended vaccines, questions about accommodations, food, wardrobe, etiquette, what to pack, etc… And even help you figure out your flights to/from India and assist you in obtaining your Visa!
If you've already traveled to India on a yoga retreat or for some other type of trip but have not yet explored Rajasthan, you're in for a treat! Also, if you want to learn more of the history and culture while enjoying more opulent accommodations, comfortable and safe transportation, and amazing food, please come along!
Karen has extensive experience and knowledge when it comes to traveling in India so you’re in good hands! Karen has been to India 14 times and has visited a multitude of regions within the country and there’s nothing she likes more than sharing her love for this country with others!

“I recently spent two weeks in India on a Grace in Nature retreat and I'm still just blown away by the whole experience! Karen's thoughtfulness, expertise and attention to detail really made for one of the greatest adventures of my life! This is something I could have never planned on my own. Literally every detail was taken care of! Missing our group something fierce as I continue to process the wonders of Rajasthan that I have so fallen in love with. I for certain will attend another retreat with Grace in Nature in the future. Highly recommend if you're looking for more than just your run-of-the-mill ‘tour’. Many thanks to Karen and her team!”

“Having recently travelled with Grace in Nature to India, I can highly recommend the experience from beginning to end. Information was readily available to help me ‘top' and 'tail ‘ my trip and prepare for the adventure in between. The accommodations and tours were thoughtfully and immaculately curated - no small feat when planing for groups I imagine! Karen’s professionalism, expertise, generosity of spirit and attention to detail made for a harmonious and smooth adventure - and enabled us to relax and have fun.”— Catriona (Sydney, Australia)
“When I first saw this trip to India come up I thought, well, I’ve never been to India and it wasn’t really someplace that I would get to on my own so I simply decided, I’m there! I’ve been on several retreats with Grace in Nature and there’s something about these trips that seems to bring together a great group of people (explorers!).Arriving in Delhi was just the beginning, finding that we would be traveling to several cities in different regions of India added to the adventure. We visited many beautiful sites from the Jama Masjid (largest mosque in India) and The City Palace and Palace Museum in Udaipur to the Monkey Temple and the Taj Mahal, one of the 7 Wonders of the World! All were spellbinding. Especially the Taj Mahal, how many times have you seen pictures of the Taj Mahal and then to be standing in front of it! I had to touch it just to make sure I was really there!!
We also visited the Sandipani School for Girls in Vrindavan. The girls were beautiful, all dressed in their school uniforms and after they got comfortable with us it was great to get so many hugs from them! It was sad to hear that when they returned home at the end of their day they would be going back to very poor neighborhoods. That is something that has really stayed with me; how we could be going through some very beautiful, opulent neighborhoods and a little later be going through some very poor neighborhoods where we were being asked for 10 Rupees (14 cents) by children on the street.
At the beginning of this trip we were all asked to pick a word that we would take with us on this trip; mine was “Learn.” Having never been to India, I thought it would be interesting to keep that word on my mind. Well, I learned about the wealth and poverty, about the many beautiful cities and sites that we visited, about some of the wonderful people we met, and I learned how to ride a camel and an elephant!! (Well, maybe learned is not the right word, I guess I really just learned how not to fall off of them!) It was great!!!”
