For centuries people have tried to understand India.
Most have failed.
For those keen to try, for those who believe that knowledge and understanding of a country is best achieved through art and history, this alternative itinerary through Rajasthan and the ‘Golden Triangle’ of Delhi-Agra-Jaipur is an opportunity not to be missed.
Visiting archaeological and historic sites of major importance as well as others rarely visited by group tours, Steppes Travelers will gain unrivalled insight into Rajput and Mughal culture through private access to art collections and through meeting local experts and community leaders.
With accommodation in historic havelis and palaces, this will be a sensory and physical experience far beyond the norm.
Dr Ursula Weekes is an independent art historian based in London, specialising in Mughal and Rajput art and culture.
She teaches at various academic and museum settings, including the Courtauld Institute of Art, the V&A Academy and formerly at JNU in Delhi.

Converted from ancient palace or fort structures, these properties are full of character, charm and history, containing some of the most beautiful frescos and artwork that you will see in India.
We have been running insightful and groundbreaking group tours since our inception in 1989. We have worked with institutions such as the British Museum and Victoria & Albert Museum and run wildlife tours in conjunction with conservation agencies such as Fauna & Flora International, Wildlife Conservation Society, the Orangutan Foundation, Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund and the Jane Goodall Institute.
Our average group size is typically eight to ten people, smaller than other group tours typically offered – a factor which many of our clients appreciate. Travelling as part of a smaller group provides a more intimate, personalised and relaxed atmosphere.
We have developed an enviable pool of expertise from which to choose our tour experts, who we carefully select based on their knowledge, companionship and personality. Often, these experts can use their influence to facilitate private access to sites not typically open to the public.
Steppes Travellers are like-minded people – interesting, interested and curious. Our group tours aim to create an easy and informal atmosphere – we have a lot of fun on our tours and many friendships have been formed.
Our tours are well-priced to ensure you get real value for money. We include gratuities on the majority of our tours and do not pass on currency surcharges. We strive to look after single travellers as well as we can, keeping single supplements to a minimum.
When you travel on one of our group tours, you will be looked after by our local agents and your tour expert with the back-up of our 24-hour emergency number and duty manager. All our holidays are fully bonded and protected – our ATOL number is ATOL 6495.
Moderate Activity
Travelling on your own? Our group tours are perfect for solo travellers, as travelling as part of an organised group in faraway places provides security and peace of mind.
