Rajasthan Desert Circuit — Jodhpur, Jaisalmer & BikanerA route built specifically around Rajasthan's desert half — three fort cities on the edge of the Thar Desert, including an overnight camp in the Jaisalmer dunes.
Most Rajasthan itineraries treat the desert cities as a single quick stop. This one is built the other way around — if the desert landscape and fort architecture are what draw you here, this gives it the time it deserves.
Drive or short flight into Jodhpur, the Blue City. Afternoon at leisure to settle in, with the option of an early evening walk through the lanes below Mehrangarh Fort as the old town's blue-washed houses catch the light.
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.
Drive from Jodhpur to Jaisalmer (approx. 5–5.5 hours).
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.
Drive from Jaisalmer to Bikaner (approx. 5.5–6 hours).
A morning visit to the National Research Centre on Camel (with the chance to try camel-milk products) followed by a wander through Bikaner's old-city lanes, quieter and less touristed than Jaipur's or Udaipur's.
Morning at leisure in Bikaner before a private transfer to the airport for your onward flight.
Well-located hotels in each city, twin-sharing with breakfast included; a 5-star or heritage-property upgrade is available on request.
Private air-conditioned vehicle and driver for the full itinerary, plus any internal flights specifically listed in the day-by-day plan; airport transfers included.
Daily breakfast included. Lunches and dinners are at your own choice so you can explore local restaurants, with recommendations from your guide — let us know if you'd prefer these pre-arranged instead.
