Hi glen, welcome to Indiamike.
My best tip is to check out Rajasthan, Kids, Pushkar, Camel Safari etc through our seach box at the top of the page. It's a popular destination so theres lots of information there, then hit us with some specifics.
Put in a few key words & hit go,,,,,,,,,,,

Before booking a tour ..

I would check into http://www.namasteindiatours.com/ . On my trip last November they were very helpful. You can find information about them on the forum and he is a poster. (Brit iI believe).

If you decide to take pills for Malaria, you might want to read about Artemisinin. It is a effective natural preventive and cure used in southeast Asia. It has been shown to be effective in studies in SE Asia.

any comments on malaria pills
like rajasthan, malaria is a popular topic on this forum. trying searching for it - you will be amazed at how many threads and how much info there is.
all i will say is research it carefully, it's a serious illness with quite a few different treatments, each with pros and cons.

and enjoy your trip.
