Dieser Sonderplan ist mit den Erstbuchern und den ind. Gastgebern
abgestimmt und daher in englischer Sprache. Das geplante Programm weicht vom Basisplan der Rajputana Discovery
ab. Wer sich anschließen möchte, kann dies für 22 Tage oder 33 und mehr Tage
bleiben. Eine hiervon abweichende Reisedauer bedingt einen Sondertransfer zum
nächstgelegenen Flughafen. Änderungen des Reiseverlaufs sind möglich. Abkürzungen: s/s = sight seeing, b/f =
breakfast, o/n = overnite
