7-Day Royal Rajasthan Itinerary

Day 1: Jaipur – The Pink City

Your adventure begins in Jaipur, the capital of Rajasthan and a city brimming with regal charm. Nicknamed the Pink City for its distinctive rose-colored buildings, Jaipur seamlessly weaves together royal heritage with contemporary charm.

Begin your day by stepping into the grandeur of Amber Fort, perched on a hill and adorned with intricate mirror work and sprawling courtyards. Next, head to the City Palace, an elegant complex still home to the royal family. Don’t miss the Hawa Mahal, a honeycomb-like structure with 953 small windows, designed for royal women to watch street festivities unnoticed.

Round off the day with a visit to the astronomical marvel of Jantar Mantar, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. In the evening, explore local bazaars such as Johari and Bapu Bazaar to shop for vibrant textiles, traditional jewelry, and handcrafted souvenirs. Treat yourself to a traditional Rajasthani thali dinner, enhanced by an enchanting folk dance performance for an unforgettable cultural evening.

Overnight Stay: Jaipur

Day 2: Journey from Jaipur to Pushkar – A Spiritual Escape

After breakfast, set out on a scenic 3-hour drive to Pushkar, a timeless town revered as one of the oldest and most spiritually significant destinations in India. Unlike the bustling cities, Pushkar has a serene and almost mystical atmosphere.

Explore the Brahma Temple, a rare and revered shrine dedicated to Lord Brahma, one of the few of its kind in the world. Then, soak in the serenity of Pushkar Lake, a sacred site believed to have emerged where a lotus flower fell from Brahma’s hand. You can also take the ropeway or hike up to Savitri Temple, which offers panoramic views of the town and its surroundings.

Take a peaceful evening stroll along the ghats, immersing yourself in the serene atmosphere and the town's deeply spiritual vibe.

Day 3: Pushkar to Jodhpur – The Blue City

Depart Pushkar and head to Jodhpur (approx. 5 hours), famously known as the Blue City because of its vividly painted houses that create a stunning contrast against the Thar desert backdrop.

The mighty Mehrangarh Fort dominates the skyline and offers sweeping views of the city below. Explore its grand palaces, museum collections, and intricate carvings. Just nearby is the peaceful Jaswant Thada, a white marble cenotaph with intricate latticed windows.

In the bustling old town, visit the Clock Tower Market, a paradise for antique collectors and spice lovers. While you’re there, don’t forget to taste local delights like Makhaniya Lassi and Mirchi Bada.

Overnight Stay: Jodhpur

Day 4: Journey from Jodhpur to Jaisalmer – Into the Heart of the Thar Desert

Drive to Jaisalmer (approx. 4.5 hours), the Golden City nestled deep in the heart of the Thar Desert. Along the way, you have the option to stop at the Osian Temples or the sacred Ramdevra Temple.

Once in Jaisalmer, unwind with a tranquil evening walk around Gadisar Lake, a historic man-made reservoir lined with intricately carved temples and shrines.

Overnight Stay: Jaisalmer

Day 5: Jaisalmer Fort & Sam Sand Dunes

Start your day with a deep dive into the city’s history. Explore the massive Jaisalmer Fort, one of the few living forts in the world, where people still reside within its walls. Discover architectural marvels like Patwon ki Haveli and Salim Singh ki Haveli, rich in ornate facades and historical anecdotes.

In the afternoon, drive to the spectacular Sam Sand Dunes, where golden sands stretch endlessly. Embark on a camel safari across the vast dunes as the sun dips below the horizon, bathing the desert in a golden, enchanting glow. Your evening is filled with traditional folk music, Kalbelia dance, and warm hospitality at a desert camp.

Overnight Stay: Sam Desert Camp

Day 6: Living the Desert Life

Wake up to the serene desert sunrise. This day is reserved for immersive desert experiences. Choose from activities like a jeep safari, quad biking, or a guided village walk to understand the local lifestyle.

Later, visit the eerie ruins of Kuldhara Village, said to be haunted, and the lush Bada Bagh, a collection of cenotaphs. Don’t miss the emotionally powerful Longewala War Memorial, which recounts the Indo-Pak war of 1971.

Return to your desert camp or opt for a hotel stay back in Jaisalmer city, depending on your preference.

Overnight Stay: Jaisalmer
