Overview

Our signature circuit, and the itinerary we recommend most often for a first trip to Rajasthan. Ten days across five cities, staying in comfortable 3 and 4-star heritage-style hotels throughout, covering the classic forts, lakes and desert in one honestly-paced trip rather than a rushed dash between highlights.

  • Two full days each in Jaipur, Udaipur and Jaisalmer, with a night in Pushkar en route
  • Comfortable 3 and 4-star heritage-style hotels, with palace stays available as an upgrade
  • A sunset camel safari at the Sam Sand Dunes
  • Private air-conditioned vehicle and driver for every transfer
