Let’s build the perfect plan, starting with the most important question: where should you go?
Rajasthan is India’s largest state, and while every corner has something beautiful, most itineraries include a mix of these popular cities:
1. Jaipur – The Pink City
As the capital of Rajasthan and part of the Golden Triangle, Jaipur is often the first stop. Visit Amber Fort, City Palace, Hawa Mahal, and shop in Johari Bazaar.
2. Udaipur – The City of Lakes
Known as the most romantic city in India, Udaipur is perfect for boat rides on Lake Pichola, exploring City Palace, and relaxing in royal ambiance.
3. Jodhpur – The Blue City
Famous for the towering Mehrangarh Fort, blue-painted old town, and delicious Rajasthani food.
4. Jaisalmer – The Golden City
Located near the Thar Desert, Jaisalmer offers desert safaris, camel rides, and sandstone architecture glowing at sunset.
5. Pushkar & Ajmer
Pushkar is a sacred Hindu town with a beautiful lake and temples, while Ajmer houses the famous Ajmer Sharif Dargah.
6. Ranthambore
If you want to include wildlife safari, head to Ranthambore National Park, famous for tiger sightings and luxury jungle stays.
Your route depends on how many days you have and whether you're starting from Delhi, Mumbai, or any international gateway. Here are the best combinations:
1. Short 5-7 Day Itinerary (Golden Triangle + 1)
2. 10-Day Rajasthan Itinerary
3. 12-14 Day Rajasthan + Extensions
