“We wanted to experience rural India and took a train from New Delhi to Ajmer. To see the station porter balance two large suitcases on his head and carry the third was unbelievable – he was a very slight man and took it all in his stride. On arrival, we travelled to Nimaj, a hidden treasure, and stayed at Nimaj Palace. The hotel is one of the oldest properties in India and boasts elegant rooms and suites, each with a different design, original features and a cow bell as your room key! We dined on traditional Bajot cuisine that melts in your mouth, watched traditional dancers and finished the evening looking up at the stars and a stunning fireworks display.” – Norma Jolly, India Personal Travel Expert
