Delhi

Jaisalmer

Kumbhalgarh

The trip starts in the capital city of the country, Delhi. You will be shown around the city that pulsates with boundless energy. After a day in the capital, you will catch a train to Agra. Travel by road to the magnificent Taj Mahal, which is a must see. Next comes the beautiful drive to Jaipur via Fatehpur Sikri. The pink city of Jaipur is steeped in Rajasthani history and tradition. Forts, palaces, monuments and old buildings speckled all across Jaipur speak of its rich cultural heritage. The Amber Fort situated on a hillside, 11 km from Jaipur on the Delhi-Jaipur highway, is a classic Rajasthan fort-palace. The fort overlooks the Maota Lake, which provides breathtaking reflections of the Fort-Palace. You can reach the fort on foot, or on elephant back. The Jaigarh Fort and the Nahargarh Fort can also be visited.

Next you will drive to Mandawa and then to Bikaner.  Both Mandawa and Bikaner are known for elaborately painted havelis. The Junagarh Fort in Bikaner is an impressive piece of architecture. A major feature of the fort and palaces are the exquisite of stone carvings. There are two main Jain temples in Bikaner. The 15th century Bhandasar Temple with stunning interiors and vibrant paintings and the Sandeshwar Temple with intricate carving work. Then the next day you will drive to the ‘Golden City’ of Jaisalmer. You will visit the Jaisalmer Fort that was built in 1156 AD by Rawal Jaisal, atop the 80m high Trikuta Hill. The most interesting means of exploring the desert around Jaisalmer is a camel safari. Here you will also get an opportunity to visit the Sam Sand Dunes, atop a rambling camel. A visit to Patwon ki Haveli will be a memorable experience. This is one of the most elaborate and magnificent havelis, known for its latticed facade.

The next morning you drive to Jodhpur, the erstwhile kingdom of Marwar and the largest kingdom in the Rajputana. You can visit the Meherangarh Fort and Balsamand Lake, which is a popular picnic spot. Your next stop is Kumbhalgarh. This beautiful fort city is cradled in the cluster of thirteen mountain peaks of the Aravalli ranges. You return to Delhi via Ramgarh.
