Jaipur Jodhpur Udaipur Tour Package

Route: Arrival at Jaipur – Amber Fort – Jaigarh Fort – Hawa Mahal – Johari Bazaar

Upon arrival at Jaipur International Airport or Railway Station, your dedicated driver welcomes you and opens the Classic Rajasthan 7-Day Circuit — the most requested Rajasthan itinerary among international travellers, run here entirely as a private journey rather than a scheduled group tour. Jaipur, founded in 1727 by Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II and painted pink in 1876 to welcome the Prince of Wales, is the only planned city of the Mughal-Rajput era and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Begin with Amber Fort, 11 km from the city on a rocky Aravalli ridge — the former capital of the Kachhwaha Rajputs, built over 150 years in a fusion of Rajput and Mughal architecture. Walk through the Diwan-i-Am, the ornate Ganesh Pol gateway, and the Sheesh Mahal, whose mirror-encrusted ceiling scatters a single candle flame into a thousand points of light. Continue to Jaigarh Fort for panoramic Aravalli views and Jaivana, the world's largest wheeled cannon. Return to the city for golden-hour photography at Hawa Mahal, the five-storey sandstone screen facade of 953 latticed windows, before an evening walk through Johari Bazaar. Overnight in Jaipur.

Experience of the Day

• Amber Fort's Sheesh Mahal — a mirror palace that turns a single candle into a constellation

• Jaigarh Fort and Jaivana — the world's largest wheeled cannon, never fired in battle

• The Hawa Mahal at golden hour — 953 windows in five storeys of pink sandstone latticework

Begin at the City Palace Complex, still partially home to the Jaipur royal family, and visit the museum in Chandra Mahal — seven storeys of royal costumes, weapons, manuscripts, and artefacts, including the Mubarak Mahal textile collection with the world's largest single garment. Walk across to Jantar Mantar, the UNESCO-listed astronomical observatory built by Jai Singh II in 1724 — nineteen monumental masonry instruments including Samrat Yantra, the world's largest stone sundial, accurate to two seconds. Continue to the Jal Mahal viewpoint on Man Sagar Lake, where the eighteenth-century Water Palace appears to float on the surface.

Arrive at Jodhpur by late afternoon and check in. The former capital of the Marwar kingdom and Rajasthan's second-largest city, Jodhpur is known as the Blue City for the indigo-washed houses of its old town, clustered beneath Mehrangarh Fort. If arrival timing allows, drive up to the fort ramparts for the late-afternoon view over the city — one of the most extraordinary urban panoramas in India, the blue laneways stretching below the fort walls with the Thar Desert visible on the horizon. Overnight in Jodhpur.

Route: Mehrangarh Fort – Jaswant Thada – Umaid Bhawan Palace – Sardar Market / Clock Tower

Spend a full day in Jodhpur with a private guide. Begin at Mehrangarh Fort, one of the largest and most imposing forts in India, rising 125 metres above the city on a sheer rock escarpment. Founded in 1459 by Rao Jodha, its walls — up to 36 metres high — have never been breached in battle. Pass through seven gateways, each marking a different military victory, into the palaces within: the Moti Mahal with its latticed screens, the gold-leafed Phool Mahal, and the Sheesh Mahal mirror work, along with a museum of royal palanquins and weaponry. Walk down to Jaswant Thada, a white marble cenotaph built in 1899, serene in the afternoon light. Continue to Umaid Bhawan Palace, one of the world's largest private residences, built between 1929 and 1943 — visit the museum wing of royal vintage cars, clocks, and artefacts. End the day at Sardar Market and the Clock Tower for spices, textiles, and silver jewellery. Overnight in Jodhpur.

Route: Jodhpur – Udaipur (approx. 250 Kms / 5 Hrs)

After breakfast, check out from Jodhpur and drive south to Udaipur — roughly 250 km and five hours through the Aravalli foothills, the desert gradually giving way to hills, lakes, and greener country. Udaipur was founded in 1559 by Maharana Udai Singh II after the fall of Chittorgarh, chosen deliberately for its natural lakes and hill cover. Arrive by early evening for a first look at Lake Pichola, and if time allows, an early evening walk along Gangaur Ghat as the City Palace catches the last light across the water.

Spend a full day in the City of Lakes. Start at the City Palace, the largest palace complex in Rajasthan, begun by Maharana Udai Singh II in 1559 and expanded over 400 years — eleven separate palaces built in a continuous structure along the eastern shore of Lake Pichola. Your private guide leads you through the crystal gallery, the zenana mahal, and the Manak Mahal with its glass peacock mosaics, ending at the lakeside terraces where the white marble Lake Palace Hotel appears to float at the centre of the water. After the palace, board your private boat for the Lake Pichola sunset cruise — moving past the Lake Palace and Jag Mandir island as the palace-lined shores turn gold. Walk to Jagdish Temple, a seventeenth-century Indo-Aryan black stone temple, intricately carved on every surface, and continue to Saheliyon ki Bari, a royal garden built for the ladies of the household — lotus pools, fountains, and marble elephants.

Your dedicated driver will then transfer you to Maharana Pratap Airport or Udaipur Railway Station for your onward journey, marking the conclusion of the Classic Rajasthan 7-Day Circuit — six nights across the Pink City, the Blue City, and the City of Lakes, run entirely on your own private schedule from start to finish.
