The Journey at a Glance
Thirteen days across the land of kings — from Jaipur's pink façades to Udaipur's shimmering lakes, Jodhpur's blue lanes beneath Mehrangarh, and a night under the stars in the Thar desert outside Jaisalmer. This is our most complete Rajasthan circuit, balancing grand forts and palace museums with slow evenings in havelis, bazaar walks, and folk performances around the campfire.
Detailed Itinerary
Welcome to the Pink City. Evening aarti at Birla Mandir and a first taste of Rajasthani thali at a rooftop restaurant overlooking the old city.
Morning at Amber Fort with its mirror-work Sheesh Mahal, then City Palace, Jantar Mantar observatory, and the iconic Hawa Mahal photo stop.
A slower day: hand-block printing workshop in Sanganer, gem and jootis shopping in Johari Bazaar, and sunset from Nahargarh Fort's ramparts.
Drive to the holy town of Pushkar. Circle the sacred lake's 52 ghats and visit one of the world's very few Brahma temples.
Cross the Aravallis with a stop at Chittorgarh Fort — Asia's largest fort complex and stage of Rajasthan's most stirring legends — before reaching the City of Lakes.
Tour the sprawling City Palace, then board an evening cruise on Lake Pichola past the Lake Palace, docking at Jag Mandir for sunset.
Morning at the Garden of Maidens and the vintage car museum; the afternoon is yours for café-hopping in the old city's art-filled lanes.
Pause at the 1,444 uniquely carved marble pillars of Ranakpur Jain Temple before arriving in the Blue City by evening.
Explore mighty Mehrangarh and Jaswant Thada, then walk the indigo lanes below the fort and haggle for spices at the Clock Tower market.
Head deep into the Thar. Evening arrival in the Golden City with a first view of Sonar Qila glowing above the town.
Wander the living fort's alleys, Patwon Ki Haveli's filigreed façades, and Gadisar Lake, before an evening of shopping in the fort bazaar.
Camel safari over the Sam sand dunes at sunset, followed by Kalbeliya folk dance, live music, and dinner under the stars at our desert camp.
After a desert sunrise, transfer to Jodhpur airport (or extend to Agra & the Taj Mahal — ask our planners).
