Mehrangarh Fort is a massive hilltop fort that is one of the largest forts in India. The fort complex contains several palaces, galleries, a museum, and courtyards that offer stunning views of Jodhpur city below. Take a guided historical walk or zip line ride through the fort ramparts for an adrenaline-inducing experience.
The Thar Desert is a vast sandy expanse that stretches across the western Indian state of Rajasthan. Experience a camel safari and sandboarding adventure in the Sam Sand Dunes near Jaisalmer. Spend the night camping under the stars at a local desert campsite. Enjoy traditional Rajasthani culture performances and food while enjoying the surreal desert landscape.
Ranthambore National Park is one of the largest and most famous national parks in Rajasthan, home to several endangered species like Bengal tigers, Indian leopards, and crocodiles. Take an early morning safari or a nature walk even as you ride through the lush green pastures within the park, either in a jeep or on elephant back. Enjoy spotting exotic wildlife and birds up close.
If you have more time, plan a visit to Pushkar, which is known for its annual cattle fair and the Holy Pushkar Lake. Or, try dune bashing and quad biking in the Thar Desert.
If you have less time, cut out Ranthambore National Park and spend an extra day in either Mehrangarh Fort or Thar Desert for a more relaxed itinerary.
