Grand Rajasthan Circuit

10 days / 9 nights Price on Request Heritage

Overview

The full Rajasthan loop for travellers with the time for it — Jaipur, Pushkar, Jodhpur, Jaisalmer and Udaipur, covering desert, lake and hill terrain across the state's five signature cities.

Why This Journey

This is the itinerary for a genuine deep-dive into Rajasthan rather than a highlights reel — if you have ten or more days available for this state alone, this is how we'd sequence it.

Highlights

  • All five of Rajasthan's signature cities in one loop
  • An overnight desert camp near Jaisalmer
  • A logical, minimal-backtracking route rather than a zig-zag

Day by Day

  • Day 1

    Arrive Jaipur

    Drive from Agra to Jaipur (approx. 5–5.5 hours), with an optional stop at Fatehpur Sikri, the abandoned Mughal capital, roughly midway.

  • Day 2

    Jaipur Sightseeing

    A full day of Jaipur's headline sights: Amber Fort in the morning light, then the City Palace, the Jantar Mantar observatory and a photo stop at Hawa Mahal.

  • Day 3

    Onward to Pushkar

    Drive into Pushkar, a quiet lakeside pilgrimage town built around one of India's few temples dedicated to Brahma. Evening aarti ceremony at the lake ghats, one of the more understated but genuinely moving experiences in Rajasthan.

  • Day 4

    Onward to Jodhpur

    Drive from Pushkar to Jodhpur (approx. 4.5–5 hours).

  • Day 5

    Jodhpur Sightseeing

    A full day centred on Mehrangarh, one of India's most dramatic hilltop forts, followed by Jaswant Thada's white marble cenotaph and a wander through the spice and textile stalls of the old clock-tower market.

  • Day 6

    Onward to Jaisalmer

    Drive into Jaisalmer, the golden sandstone fort city on the edge of the Thar Desert. Afternoon exploring the living fort — still home to a working community inside its walls — and the carved-stone havelis nearby.

  • Day 7

    Jaisalmer Sightseeing

    An overnight desert camp experience in the dunes outside the city: a camel or jeep safari at sunset, a folk-music evening around the fire, and a night under some of the clearest skies in Rajasthan before returning to the city.

  • Day 8

    Onward to Udaipur

    Drive from Jaisalmer to Udaipur (approx. 6.5–7 hours, or via Jodhpur to break the journey).

  • Day 9

    Udaipur Sightseeing

    A full day covering the City Palace complex, Jagdish Temple and the Saheliyon-ki-Bari gardens, with free time in the old city's lakeside cafes and haveli-lined lanes in the afternoon.

  • Day 10

    Departure

    Morning at leisure in Udaipur before a private transfer to the airport for your onward flight.

Important Notes

Let us know of any festival dates, mobility considerations or dietary needs in advance so we can plan around them.

About starting prices: Starting prices shown are indicative and may vary according to travel dates, number of travellers, hotel category, transportation, itinerary changes, season and availability. Final pricing is always confirmed with you in writing before booking — there are no hidden fees.

Customization

Every element here — duration, hotel category, pace and stops — can be adjusted. Tell us your dates and interests via the enquiry form and we'll tailor this starting point to you.

FAQs

Can this be done in less time?

It can be tightened, but below about nine days each city starts losing its second, slower day — let us know your available time and we'll adjust the balance.

Is this itinerary private or a group tour?

Fully private — your own vehicle, driver and guide, on your own schedule, not a fixed-departure group tour.

Can this be shortened or extended?

Yes. Every itinerary on this site is a starting point — tell us your available dates and we'll adjust the pace and stops accordingly.
