Bharatpur is the place for India’s most spectacular display of wildlife with a dash of awe-inspiring historical remnants. Around 178 km distance from the Rajasthan's capital, Jaipur will bring you to this dusty city. With history having its traces in 5th century BC, the city was nurtured by Matsya dynasty followed by Maharaja Suraj Mal. You can witness their existence through the ruins that magnify their footprints. The highlight of this quaint city is Keoladeo Ghana National Park brimming with dramatic flora and fauna. There is a lot more to see and rediscover for you that will trigger its beauty and mystique.
Keoladeo Ghana National Park – formerly known as Bharatpur Bird Sanctuary, is a famous park for sighting birds in India. It is home to a wide variety of birds and is particularly known for the critically endangered Siberian crane. Other birds you can find here are herons, storks, cormorants, migrant ducks and sarus crane. It also inhabits animals which include wild boar, Asian palm civet, Golden Jackals, striped hyenas, Bengal fox and blackbuck.
Lohagarh Fort – meaning Iron fort, is one of the glorious forts of Rajasthan that stands out with its simple yet powerful architecture. It was built by Maharaja Suraj Mal of Bharatpur. The mesmerizing fort is worth a visit with beautiful parts like Kishori Mahal, Mahal Khas, and Kothi Khas.
Laxman temple – is a splendid specimen of the Rajasthani style of architecture embellished with eye-catching pink stonework. It is dedicated to the younger brother of Lord Ram, Laxman. The structure is worth spending few hours to soak in the royal charm of its exquisite doorways, artful walls and ceilings, carved pillars and arches.
Bharatpur Palace and museum – emanates mystique with its mix of Mughal and Rajput architecture housing a gripping museum. The museum is named Kamra Khas, a walk in which will familiarize you with the history of Bharatpur. It is said that this magnificent palace was built in stages by several Maharajas who put their best in its beauty.
Deeg Palace – used to be a lavish residence of Bharatpur rulers in summers. The remarkable edifice is laid out in quadrangle shape with gardens and walkways at the centre. You will be awestruck with appreciable features that reflect architectural intelligence. Wide courtyards, latticework, emerald lakes, artistic ceilings and more are a sight to behold.

UNFORGETTABLE EXPERIENCE !
I just came back from a 12 days Rajasthan tour. It was just myself and my 14 year olde daughter. I found Caper surfing the web and had non suggestion from friends and had never read comments or reviews about it. Totally "blind-choice". I was very lucky. The organization was really excellent. The agent that followed us, Mr. Praveen Juyal did a great job. I decided our itinerary and he punctually gave me suggestions on the best management of my choices. The hotel choice was fine and confirmed expectations. We had tour guides in every site seeing location and they were all extremely professional, very punctual and really kind and polite.
But I must say that what made the trip even better was our driver; Mr. Deshraj.
One of those persons that you really wish you could meet once in your life. Not only an excellent driver but always helpful, respectful and friendly. He explained us many things about Indian life along the journey and sometimes stopped for short breaks in beautiful places on the road that were not even mentioned in the guide books. My only regret is that at the end of the trip I didn't have much money left and I left a tip probably not adeguate for the kind of service but I will definitely send him try to sort this maybe in a next trip. Thank you very much Caper and Deshraj.

A Memorable Trip
We recently concluded a 12 day driving tour of New Delhi, Agra and Rajasthan with Caper Travel. It was most enjoyable !! The logistics arrangements were excellent - from tour planning , hotel selection , vehicle condition to driver. Mr Alok handled the planning, and Mr Vikram was our Tempo driver throughout the journey. Mr Vikram was very helpful , accommodating and patient throughout the tour, despite long hours of driving on the roads ( not to mention India traffic}. We would not hesitate to recommend Caper to our fellow travellers who are thinking of visiting India. Thank You Caper !

Golden triangle goa and mumbia
Just come back from an amazing 2 week trip to India. First we done the golden triangle which we chose to do the train trip from Delhi to Agra a must you have to do if not just for the experience. All the cities were wonderful but be prepared to see lots of temple one seems to run into another but wow the taj was my highlight along with the Hindu temple in Delhi. The driving the cows the dogs are everywhere are all an experience. Goa was beautiful we stayed at the taj exotica. In mumbia we done a city tour and ended our trip in the taj for afternoon tea another must. It is a exhilarating trip but one I will never forget. From booking with Manika to all the drivers and guides they were always there to meet us from the airport and hotels on time. They really looked after us thank you all.

Wonderful trip
We have just returned from our first trip to India and we must say it was absolutely fascinating. The itinerary was first class and covered everything we could have wished for. On arrival we were met by a very nice rep and driver who took us to our hotel and sorted out the necessary paperwork with us. We had our driver Vishan for our time in the north and he was terrific, kept the vehicle spotless and kept us supplied with water. We then flew to the south of India and met up with our driver Suhdeer who again was very nice and very informative about things as we drove along. The guides we had on all our trips were excellent and again very informative.
The only down side to it all was that in our package we paid for the drivers accommodation, food and allowance only to find out that the drivers don’t receive this money and if they want accommodation they have to pay for it themselves. We ended up paying one of our drivers an amount for the nights that we had him for him to get somewhere to sleep and food as we were concerned that if he slept in his car he wouldn’t be rested enough to take on the next day driving for 4-5 hours.
All in all Caper Travel are excellent in their planning and can’t fault them for that.

Caper travel
Recently traveled to India on a private guided tour with Caper Travel. Ms. Mumtaz Khan worked with me on arranging my itinerary.
She was always available to answer all my concerns immediately. On my arrival in Delhi I was welcome with warm smile at the airport by a young gentleman name Kapol Joshi . My experience with the company was amazing and I would highly recommend to anyone traveling to India.
I would also like to mention the personal attention I received at Amritsar by Aman Shara and his lovely wife who welcomed me and my son to their home
and soon to open their beautiful hotel.
