Board your pre-booked coach/minibus early to avoid city traffic; comfortable 5–6 hour drive to Rajsamand with a group of 25. Plan rest stops and a group briefing on the coach.
Stop at a clean highway restaurant/dhaba for a hearty Rajasthani/continental buffet so the group is fuelled for the day. Pre-book group menu for smoother service.
Check into a lakeside or heritage hotel near Rajsamand Lake; rest and freshen up before the afternoon walk. Hotels can handle group check-in with prior notice.
Visit the majestic Rajsamand Lake and the marble cenotaphs (Kirti Stambh) beside it — great for photos and a quiet sunset. Open all day and easy for group strolls.
Enjoy a pre-booked traditional Rajasthani dinner at the hotel (dal-baati-churma, gatte ki sabzi) tailored for the whole group. Confirm vegetarian/non-veg preferences in advance.
Detour to Ranakpur to visit the spectacular 15th-century Jain temple complex (open 6:00am–6:00pm); unique marble pillars and carvings make it a must-see.
Guided walk through nearby Narlai village — meet locals, see traditional homes and possibly a short village safari; Rawla Narlai organises heritage experiences.
Participate in heritage activities offered by the hotel: cooking demo, folk performance or sunset tea. Good chance to bond the group and photograph the property.
Lunch at a restaurant that can accommodate 25 (suggest On The Rocks/Indique or pre-booked banquet) near the old city for convenience to afternoon visits.
Scheduled visit to the Rajasthan High Court (seat in Jodhpur) and nearby district court or Bar Association — educational visit for law-interested group members. Courts operate Mon–Fri roughly 10:00am–5:00pm; prior permission required for a group of 25 (apply via registry/ local advocate).
Leave before sunrise to reach Khichan (approx 2–2.5 hours) to witness the morning feeding and mass arrival of Demoiselle cranes — best viewing at sunrise.
Observe thousands of Demoiselle cranes and other migratory birds; local farmers offer grain feeding which attracts the birds — the spectacle lasts through the morning. Sanctuary is open in early hours; no formal fee, donation welcome.
Check into Jaisalmer hotel/fort palace; short rest before evening walk in the old city. Jaisalmer is dry and crisp in January — layer up for the evenings.
Explore the living Fort (Sonar Quila) and nearby bazaars at sunset; fort is generally open 9:00am–6:00pm but evening walk around ramparts is rewarding.
Quick breakfast and depart for Tanot Mata Temple (approx 3.5–4 hours one-way depending on route). It’s a long day so start early; the temple is open to devotees and visitors most of the day.
Visit the Tanot Mata Temple and nearby war memorials that commemorate resilience in the 1965/71 conflicts; culturally and historically significant — temple accessible most of the day.
Enjoy a 1-hour camel ride for the group across the dunes timed to catch sunset — classic Rajasthan desert experience. Camel rides typically available until sunset; book in advance for 25.
Clear desert skies in January are excellent for stargazing. Arrange a local astronomer or use binoculars/telescopes at the camp for a guided session — memorable for the whole group.
Explore Jaisalmer Fort fully (9:00am–6:00pm), Patwon ki Haveli and the colorful bazaars; ideal for shopping handicrafts and learning about stone carving.
Rest after a full schedule; prepare for return to Ahmedabad on Day 7. If preferring a flight to Ahmedabad, confirm group check-in and baggage arrangements.
Early breakfast and transfer to Jodhpur airport (about 30–45 minutes) for the flight to Ahmedabad or to begin the long coach drive back as per your booking. Flights are quickest for a same-day return.
Book group seats on a morning flight Jodhpur → Ahmedabad (flight time about 1.25 hours). For 25 people, block seats well in advance; this is the fastest, least-fatiguing option.
