Start your adventure by exploring the Golden City of Jaisalmer, known for its exquisite sandstone architecture and its proximity to the Thar desert. Visit the Jaisalmer Fort, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the largest fully preserved fortified cities in the world. Take a camel ride to the Sam Sand Dunes for stunning views of the desert and enjoy traditional Rajasthani cuisine around a campfire under the starry night sky.
Get closer to nature and go on a wildlife safari in Ranthambore National Park, one of the largest and most famous national parks in northern India. Spot the majestic Bengal tigers, leopards, wild boars, and over 300 species of birds as you explore the park on a jeep safari or a canter safari. Take a break from the safari and visit the Ranthambore Fort for panoramic views of the park and the surrounding mountains.
End your adventure in the Pink City of Jaipur, where you can experience the thrill of flying high in a hot air balloon. As the sun rises, soar above the city and marvel at the stunning views of the Amber Fort, the City Palace, and the Hawa Mahal. Later, visit the Jantar Mantar, an astronomical observatory and a UNESCO World Heritage Site to learn about ancient astronomical techniques. End your trip with a visit to the Amer Fort, a magnificent palace overlooking a scenic lake.
If you have more time, consider adding a visit to the Blue City of Jodhpur with its impressive Mehrangarh Fort and the bustling bazaars of the old town. You could also extend your stay in Ranthambore National Park for an opportunity to spot more wildlife and birds. If you have less time, you could skip the hot air balloon ride in Jaipur and visit the Nahargarh Fort or the Jal Mahal instead.
