Rajasthan Tour Packages

Things to Know Before Travelling to Rajasthan

• Rajasthan's a big state, and distances will catch you off guard if you're not careful. About 340 km from Jaipur to Jodhpur. Jodhpur to Jaisalmer, roughly 285. Budget five to six hours between main stops, and don't try cramming too many cities in — you'll burn out fast, guaranteed.
• Packing depends entirely on the month. November to February, mornings and desert nights turn properly cold, so carry a jacket. Come summer, stick to light cotton clothes, plus a cap and sunglasses.
• Temples, dargahs, parts of some palaces — covered shoulders and knees, that's the expectation. Shoes come off at the door too.
• Ticket prices, camera fees and guide charges change from place to place. Some places stay closed on certain days. We take care of all this. You will not have to stand in the sun at a ticket window.
• Keep some cash with you. This is for small bazaars, tea stalls and tips. Hotels and big shops take cards and UPI easily.
• Hindi works almost everywhere. Local people also speak Marwari and Mewari. English works fine at hotels, monuments and tourist spots.
• Bargaining is part of the fun in old markets. Start low, much lower than the asking price, and stay friendly while you do it.
• Drink only sealed or filtered water. This matters more in desert areas. Keep a bottle with you when you are out for the day.

Places to Visit in Rajasthan

Jaipur — Capital city. Most Rajasthan trips start right here, honestly. Amber Fort, City Palace, Jantar Mantar, Hawa Mahal — that's a full day gone, easy, no rushing needed. Evening free? Nahargarh Fort's nice, or just drop the forts altogether and get lost in the old bazaars for a bit.

Udaipur — Lakes, lakes, everywhere you turn. City Palace just sits there over Lake Pichola, like it owns the whole view. Sunset boat ride, slow walk through the old town, rooftop dinner with water right below — couples end up loving this one more than any other stop, every single time.

Jodhpur — Mehrangarh Fort is massive, towering over the city, and blue houses crowd around its base in every direction. Jaswant Thada in the morning, Umaid Bhawan Palace by afternoon, then the Clock Tower market as evening sets in — string those three together and your whole day's basically sorted.

Jaisalmer — Sandstone, through and through, this whole fort town. Turns gold the second evening light hits it. Havelis, narrow lanes, little cafés, crammed inside those old walls. Sam Sand Dunes aren't far either — that's where the camel rides and overnight desert camps actually happen.

Pushkar — Small, slow, and that holy lake sets the pace for the whole town. One of the only Brahma temples in India sits right here. The camel fair comes around once a year, and it's genuinely one of the most colourful things you'll ever lay eyes on.

Ranthambore — National park, old fort wrapped around it, and probably your best shot anywhere in India at actually seeing a tiger. Safaris twice daily, morning and evening. Got an extra hour? The fort itself is worth the climb too.

Mount Abu — Rajasthan's only hill station, and it shows the moment you arrive. Nakki Lake, a handful of solid sunset points, and the Dilwara Jain Temples, carved so finely it barely looks like stone anymore. Cooler air too, which makes a nice break from the desert heat.

Bikaner and Mandawa — Bikaner's got the red sandstone Junagarh Fort, plus that well-known rat temple just outside town. Mandawa, over in the Shekhawati region, is a quieter kind of place — havelis with painted walls everywhere, old-world lanes, and far fewer crowds than the bigger cities.

Things to do in Rajasthan

Ranthambore safari — jeeps go out twice a day, morning batch and afternoon batch, each one assigned a different zone. Tigers show up sometimes, not always, but even on a quiet day the lakes and old ruins make it feel worth getting up early for. Winter's peak season though, so grab your slot before it's gone.

Night in the Thar Desert — camel takes you over the Sam dunes right as the sky turns orange. Camp's waiting after — music playing, fire lit, dinner served with nothing but stars overhead.

Lake Pichola cruise — time your boat for golden hour. You'll float past the City Palace, past Jag Mandir, with the hills sitting quiet in the background.

Mehrangarh Fort walk — takes a few hours to really see properly. Pick up the audio guide, walk through the museum rooms, and don't skip the lookout where all of Jodhpur's blue roofs spread out below you. If walking's not enough, there's a zipline strung along the fort walls now.

Jaipur from above — hot-air balloons run over Amber Fort during winter mornings, weather allowing. If there's no slot, a jeep ride up to the fort gets you most of the view anyway.

Pushkar sunset: Just head to the ghats as the sun starts going down and sit. That's really it. Lamps get lit, evening prayers begin, you watch. Nothing more needed.

Heritage or food walk: Grab a local guide in old Jaipur, or the narrow lanes of Udaipur. They share stories you won't find online, and take you to snack stalls no map will ever point you to.

Cultural evening: Chokhi Dhani in Jaipur is where most people end up — puppet shows, Ghoomar dance, folk singers performing live. Some havelis in other cities put on similar evenings in their own courtyards.

Famous Food in Rajasthan

Rajasthan is a dry land, and in the old days travelers carried their food along for days. So the cooking uses things that don't go bad quickly, like gram flour, ghee, dried berries and lots of spice.

Dal baati churma is where you should start. Everybody asks for it, and honestly they're right. If you eat meat, order laal maas. If you don't, go for gatte ki sabzi, ker sangri and bajra roti.

Jodhpur is known for mirchi vada and pyaaz kachori. In Jaipur you'll find ghewar and mawa kachori. Bikaner gave the whole country bhujia and rasgulla.

When you're tired from walking around all day, have a glass of makhaniya lassi in Jodhpur or Jaipur. After that, finish with malpua, kalakand or moong dal halwa. You'll most likely eat a lot more than you planned to.

Where to Shop in Rajasthan

Johari Bazaar first, for jewellery and gemstones. Bapu Bazaar next, where textiles, mojaris and handicrafts are all sitting side by side. Tripolia Bazaar is the one for lac bangles and brassware.

Jodhpur's Sardar Market is right by the Clock Tower. Spices, fabrics, all of it. It gets crowded, so go in the morning.

Udaipur's part is Hathi Pol and Bada Bazaar — miniature paintings, silver jewellery, leather goods, all in one stretch if you walk it slowly.

In Jaisalmer, head for the Pansari and Sonaron Ka Baas lanes. Mirror-work embroidery, old-style silver — don't rush, this is browsing territory.

Bikaner, last stop — Kote Gate area for sweets and namkeen. Get extra. It never makes it back home untouched.

You'll spot blue pottery, block-printed cloth, bandhani dupattas, Kundan and Meenakari jewellery, leather mojaris, camel-leather pieces, marble inlay, hand-painted miniatures in all three cities — worth grabbing when you see something good. Telling quality apart on the spot isn't easy though, so stick with fixed-price shops or government emporiums instead of taking a chance at some random street stall.

How to Reach Rajasthan

By Air

Jaipur's the main airport here, with daily flights running from Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Kolkata, and a few other cities too. Udaipur and Jodhpur have their own airports as well, with pretty good flight links. Jaisalmer's airport, though, mostly runs during tourist season only. Delhi to Jaipur takes under an hour in the air. Mumbai to Jaipur or Udaipur runs about two hours.

By Road

Coming from Delhi, NH 48 is a wide, easy highway and you'll be in Jaipur in five to six hours, depending on traffic. From there, state highways reach every big tourist town. A private cab is the least stressful way to do the circuit - you stop for chai or photos whenever you like, and bus stands never come into it. Government and deluxe private buses do run on most routes if the budget is tight.

By Train

Jaipur, Jodhpur, Udaipur, Bikaner, Ajmer and Kota are all big railway stops. The Delhi-Jaipur Shatabdi takes about four and a half hours. It is a good way to start the trip. There is also the Palace on Wheels. This is a luxury train that goes around the state.

Season Highlights: Know Your Trip in One Glance

You've probably got a rough idea already of the kind of trip you're after. Here's how the months break down, so your dates and plan line up right.

Tips for a Smoother Trip

• Winter travel means booking two to three months out, no shortcuts there — hotels and Ranthambore safaris are gone early once November through February rolls around.
• Hit the forts before 10 am if you can. Cooler, fewer crowds, and honestly the light's better for photos too.
• Don't try to cram more than one major city into a day. Rajasthan works better when you slow down.
• Sunscreen, a cap or scarf, shoes you can actually walk in — the forts are all steps and uneven stone, you'll feel it by afternoon otherwise.
• Small notes come in handy — tips, temple donations, grabbing a snack off the street.
• Out in the desert stretches, drink way more water than you think you need, and skip any bottle that isn't properly sealed.
• Safari and show timings? Worth checking the evening before — weather around here changes plans more often than people expect.
• And ask us about the good photo spots, the quiet hours at each fort. That's the kind of thing a guidebook never quite covers.

Why Choose Rajasthan for your next Vacation?
