Welcome to Jaipur: the group will be met at Sanganer Airport or the railway station for a warm meet-and-greet before a comfortable transfer to your hotel. After check-in, settle into twin-share rooms and freshen up — take a short rest to recover from travel so you’re ready for the city’s colours later in the day.
In the late afternoon, enjoy a gentle introduction to Jaipur with a short visit to Albert Hall Museum for exterior photos and a quick look inside if time permits, or opt for a serene stop at Birla Mandir to admire its marble façade and city views. Your coach will keep transfers short and relaxed, leaving time for a light snack or tea at the hotel before the evening programme.
Choose between the dramatic Light & Sound show at Amber Fort to hear the fort’s history unfold against illuminated ramparts, or a lively stroll down MI Road and Bapu Bazaar for colourful handicrafts, textiles and street snacks — perfect for picking up bandhani scarves and traditional jewellery. Return to the hotel for a Rajasthani thali buffet dinner and a briefing for tomorrow’s Amber Fort and City Palace day.
After a hearty hotel buffet, depart early for Amber Fort where the group will explore the ornate Sheesh Mahal, stroll the ramparts and (optionally) take the jeep or elephant approach up the hill for memorable photos. Mid-morning pause at the tranquil Jal Mahal for a lakeside photo stop before heading into the old city for the City Palace complex, where you’ll wander through Mubarak Mahal’s exhibits and the museum’s royal collections with your guide.
Enjoy lunch at a nearby heritage restaurant that serves Rajasthani specialties, then continue with a close-up visit to Jantar Mantar to see the ingenious stone observatory instruments. From there, take time at Hawa Mahal for classic façade photos and a short walk through the colourful lanes of Johari Bazaar to glimpse local gemstone and textile workshops.
As the light softens, return to the hotel for a brief rest or opt for an optional rooftop dinner with views of the city’s pink-hued buildings and forts. Those who wish can spend the evening shopping more deeply in Bapu Bazaar or relax in the hotel while the guide outlines tomorrow’s transfer to Pushkar.
After breakfast and a smooth check-out from Jaipur, the group boards the private AC coach for the scenic 3-4 hour drive to Pushkar, with a comfort stop en route at a roadside dhaba for tea. On arrival you’ll check in to your heritage hotel or guesthouses, freshen up, and take a gentle first walk to the ghats of Pushkar Lake to witness pilgrims performing morning rituals and to learn about the lake’s sacred ghats from the guide.
Spend the afternoon exploring the compact old town — visit the 14th-century Brahma Temple to see one of the few temples dedicated to Lord Brahma, then wander through the colourful bazaars where shops sell brassware, silver jewellery and spiritual handicrafts. Lunch at a local café or the hotel will showcase Rajasthani flavours before you have time to browse bookshops and spice stalls along the lanes leading from the main square.
As the day cools, take the short drive or steep walk up to Savitri Temple on the hill for a panoramic sunset over Pushkar and the surrounding Aravalli hills, or return to the lakefront for a peaceful lakeside aarti at dusk with oil lamps flickering along the ghats. Afterwards, regroup for a relaxed group dinner at your guesthouse and a briefing about tomorrow’s early transfer to Jodhpur.
After an early breakfast and check-out from Pushkar, board the private AC coach for the scenic 5-6 hour transfer to Jodhpur, pausing once for refreshments at a highway dhaba. On arrival, check in to your hotel and stretch your legs before heading up to Mehrangarh Fort, where your guide will lead the group through the museum galleries and along the ramparts to admire the colossal walls and sweeping views over the city.
Enjoy a leisurely lunch at a local restaurant or the hotel, then return to Mehrangarh to explore hidden courtyards and the Sheesh Mahal exhibits; don’t miss the Rao Jodha Desert Rock Park visible below the fort. Afterwards visit the nearby Jaswant Thada’s marble cenotaphs for quiet reflection and photo opportunities framed by manicured gardens.
As golden hour approaches, descend into the winding blue lanes around the Clock Tower and Sardar Market for a guided walk through spice stalls, tie-dye shops and traditional shoe makers — a perfect chance to pick up bandhni textiles and local handicrafts. Finish the day with dinner on a rooftop restaurant overlooking Mehrangarh’s illuminated silhouette or back at the hotel, where the group can relax and hear plans for tomorrow’s optional rural excursion.
After a relaxed hotel buffet, choose between a guided rural excursion to the Bishnoi villages—where you’ll meet local artisans, see traditional weavers and watch wildlife-friendly village practices—or a gentle walk through Rao Jodha Desert Rock Park with its native plant restoration trails and interpretive signage below Mehrangarh. The coach will collect the group mid-morning for visits to handloom workshops and a chance to try simple block-printing or observe lac work from local craftsmen.
Return to town for lunch at a heritage café before visiting the gleaming Umaid Bhawan Palace Museum to view royal apartments, vintage cars and the palace’s art collection; the guide will point out highlights and photo spots. For those who chose the Bishnoi option, a community-hosted refreshment stop and short cultural demonstration are usually included before heading back to the hotel to rest or explore more of the blue city at leisure.
Gather for an atmospheric group cultural dinner at the hotel or a rooftop venue where Rajasthani folk musicians and dancers perform, offering a lively finale of puppetry, manganiyar songs and traditional kathputli storytelling. Alternatively, enjoy free time to stroll the Sardar Market and Clock Tower area for evening snacks and last-minute shopping, then reconvene for a quick briefing about tomorrow’s transfer to Udaipur.
After an early hotel buffet and check-out from Jodhpur, board the private AC coach for the scenic 5-6 hour drive to Udaipur, with a comfort stop for tea and photos of the Aravalli hills en route. On arrival, check in to your lake-facing hotel, freshen up and then head straight to Lake Pichola to embark on a short boat ride toward Jag Mandir, enjoying palace reflections and stories from your guide.
Disembark for a guided exploration of the City Palace complex—wander through its ornate courtyards, museums and balconies that look over the lake while the guide highlights the Mewar dynasty’s treasures. After a relaxed heritage-lunch nearby, take time to stroll the palace promenades and capture views toward the Monsoon Palace perched on the distant ridge.
As the light softens, gather at Ambrai Ghat for a sunset over Lake Pichola and the palaces, then enjoy a lakeside dinner at a recommended restaurant with views of the illuminated City Palace and Jag Niwas. Return to the hotel afterwards for a short briefing about tomorrow’s Udaipur highlights and departure options, or relax with optional rooftop drinks overlooking the water.
After breakfast and check-out, wander the fragrant gardens of Saheliyon ki Bari where marble fountains, lotus pools and royal pavilions make for peaceful morning photographs and a gentle stroll. Continue with a drive to Fateh Sagar Lake for optional short boating on the calm waters (weather permitting) and a coffee beside the promenade, or choose the Monsoon Palace for panoramic views over the city and a final group photo with the Aravalli ridgeline as your backdrop.
Return to the hotel area for last-minute shopping in the colourful lanes of Hathi Pol bazaar—look for miniature paintings, lacquered wooden toys and hand-embroidered textiles—then enjoy a relaxed lunch at a lakeside café or the hotel depending on your departure timing. If the group is transferring by road, the coach will depart after lunch for the selected onward hub; those flying or taking the train will be taken to Udaipur airport/railway with ample time for check-in.
For guests extending their stay or taking later departures, enjoy a final lakeside dinner at a recommended restaurant near Ambrai Ghat with views of the illuminated City Palace, or savour a quiet rooftop meal at the hotel to reflect on the week’s highlights. Otherwise, bid farewell at Udaipur airport or railway station with coordinated assistance from your guide and driver to ensure a smooth end to the 7-day Rajasthan journey.
