Tour Overview

Not every journey is meant to be perfect. Some are meant to be real.

This tour is one of those. Sixteen days through Rajasthan — not the postcard version, but the one locals live. You’ll eat fresh roti made on firewood, ride a horse through dry valleys, and sleep where the stars outshine your phone screen.

It starts in Delhi — loud, messy, and honest. Then Pushkar — slow, spiritual, and full of charm. The lake shimmers quietly. Aarti echoes in the air. After that, it’s off to villages no one writes about. Jojawar. Sodakore. Dabdi. Places where cows block the road, and people smile without reason.

Some days are peaceful — chai with elders, walks through havelis, hammocks under neem trees. Others bring surprise — a jeep bouncing through the hills, a leopard sighting near Jawai, or music floating from a wedding you weren’t invited to but might join anyway.

You’ll meet people. Not guides, not actors — just people. Potters, farmers, camel herders. They’ll offer you food. You’ll probably say yes.

By the time you reach Udaipur and Jaipur, the royalty feels earned. Palaces feel less about gold and more about stories. The last day? Back to Delhi. Same city, but you won’t see it the same way.

You came for Rajasthan.
You found something more.

Tour Itinerary :

Day 1 – Welcome to Delhi

You land in Delhi — tired but curious. Outside the airport, a local greets you with a smile and a placard. The car weaves through buzzing streets, honking autos, and spice-scented air. At the hotel, you unwind. No plans today. Just breathe in the first taste of India.

Day 2 – Delhi to Pushkar (390 km / 7 hrs)

After a hearty breakfast, you explore Delhi’s iconic sights — India Gate, Rashtrapati Bhawan, Gandhi Memorial, and the towering Qutub Minar. Then it’s time to hit the highway to Pushkar. The scenery shifts as you drive: from city chaos to rural calm. By evening, you arrive in Pushkar. A warm welcome, a rustic dinner under the stars, and the melodies of folk music wrap up your night.

Day 3 – Pushkar & Ajmer

Pushkar wakes you gently. After breakfast, you visit the sacred Brahma Temple and the peaceful lake. Climb to Savitri Temple for a panoramic view. Later, drive to Ajmer and feel the spiritual energy at Ajmer Sharif Dargah. After soaking in blessings, head back to relax at the resort. The desert air is cool, and the peace is real. Overnight stay in Pushkar.

Day 4 – Pushkar to Jojawar (160 km / 3.5 hrs)

Leave Pushkar behind and journey through Rajasthan’s golden heart to reach the offbeat village of Jojawar. After lunch and a bit of rest, saddle up for a countryside horse ride — the wind on your face, the Marwari horse beneath you. Later, enjoy Rajasthani folk tunes and a local feast by firelight. Sleep comes easy in this peaceful village.

Day 5 – Jojawar: Train & Jeep Safari

A wild day ahead! Post breakfast, hop onto a local train that chugs through the scenic Aravallis — bridges, tunnels, lakes, and waving locals. Afterwards, take a jeep ride into tribal Rebari villages. Sip chai as the sun sets near an ancient temple. Optional 4×4 driving adds a thrill. Tonight, dinner is under the open sky. Rural Rajasthan is alive around you.

Day 6 – Jojawar to Udaipur (150 km / 3 hrs)

Today, Udaipur awaits — the City of Lakes. The drive is short but scenic. On arrival, you’re welcomed into elegance. Begin exploring: City Palace, Jagdish Temple, Saheliyon ki Bari, and the Folk Art Museum. End the day at Shilpgram — where the soul of Rajasthan’s artisans is on full display. Overnight in Udaipur.

Day 7 – Udaipur to Jodhpur via Ranakpur (185 km / 4–5 hrs)

After breakfast, hit the road to Jodhpur. En route, stop at the stunning Ranakpur Jain Temples — carved entirely from marble. Reach Jodhpur and visit Umaid Bhawan Palace Museum. Evening is yours to rest or roam. The Blue City is rich in color and calm.

Day 8 – Jodhpur to Dabdi (via Osian, 70 km / 1.5 hrs)

Begin with a visit to the mighty Mehrangarh Fort. Then head toward Osian and the desert. At Bikamkor village, hop onto a camel. The ride to Dabdi takes you past rustic trails and curious kids waving from their homes. Your desert camp awaits, glowing in lantern light. Dinner is warm, delicious, and served under countless stars.

Day 9 – Dabdi to Osian (Camel Safari)

After breakfast, the camel safari continues deeper into the Thar. Midway, stop at Khetasar village to meet weavers and potters. Enjoy lunch by the oasis. You can ride back or take a jeep to the Osian resort. Cool off in the dune-top pool. As night falls, enjoy folk music and another hearty desert dinner.

Day 10 – Osian to Sodakore (200 km / 5 hrs)

Visit the ancient Osian Temples in the morning — their stonework still tells tales. Then journey to Sodakore, a nature retreat surrounded by farms. Here, everything is organic — food, air, life. Stroll through the village and an amla orchard before relaxing over a home-style dinner. Stay in the embrace of simplicity.

Day 11 – Sodakore to Jaisalmer to Sam (110 km / 3 hrs)

It’s time for the Golden City — Jaisalmer. Explore its majestic fort and intricate havelis. By late afternoon, drive to Sam Sand Dunes. Take a camel ride at sunset and watch the sky explode in gold and fire. The night is alive with dance, music, and starlit desert magic. Sleep in luxury tents, close to the heart of the dunes.

Day 12 – Sam to Bikaner (380 km / 6–7 hrs)

Today’s drive takes you from the sands of Sam to the cultural heart of Bikaner. Along the way, you’ll pass sleepy towns and sweeping desert plains. Arrive by evening and settle in for the night. Tomorrow, Bikaner reveals its grandeur.

Day 13 – Bikaner to Mandawa (190 km / 4 hrs)

In the morning, visit Junagarh Fort and then experience the quirky charm of Karni Mata Temple — the one where rats rule. Next, visit the camel breeding farm, a unique peek into desert life. Later, head to Mandawa, famous for its mural-covered havelis. The colors and stories on the walls are mesmerizing. Overnight in Mandawa.

Day 14 – Mandawa to Jaipur (160 km / 4 hrs)

Explore the Shekhawati frescoed mansions after a slow brunch. Then drive to Jaipur. The Pink City welcomes you with its bustle and beauty. Evening is free — shop, sip chai, or just watch the world go by. Overnight in Jaipur.

Day 15 – Jaipur Sightseeing

A full day of exploring royal Jaipur — City Palace, Hawa Mahal, Jantar Mantar, and the hilltop Amber Fort. The elephant ride up is unforgettable. End your day wandering through bazaars, picking up souvenirs or simply people-watching. Overnight stay in the city of kings.

Day 16 – Jaipur to Delhi (260 km / 5 hrs)

After breakfast, it’s time to drive back to Delhi. The road may end, but the memories will linger — in photos, souvenirs, and the dusty footprints in your soul. Catch your onward flight and carry a piece of Rajasthan home with you.
