Rajasthan Tours

Private Rajasthan tours with your own car and driver. Jaipur, Jodhpur, Udaipur and Jaisalmer, honest driving times, and routes for four days to two weeks.

Home/ Rajasthan Tours

Rajasthan is the India people picture — fort walls above painted cities, camel caravans in the Thar, marble palaces sitting on lakes. It is also the state where having your own car matters most, because the distances between the good places are long and the roads between them are the point.

We run every Rajasthan route privately, with your own vehicle and driver for the whole circuit.

Our Rajasthan tours

The cities, and what each is for

Jaipur — the Pink City

Amber Fort, the City Palace, Jantar Mantar and the Hawa Mahal, plus bazaars around Johari and Bapu that have not been prettified for visitors. Usually the entry point from Delhi. Two days.

Jodhpur — the Blue City

Mehrangarh Fort is the best preserved in the state and the old town beneath it is genuinely blue rather than a marketing line. Two days.

Udaipur — the lake city

White palaces on Lake Pichola and the gentlest pace in Rajasthan. Most people plan two days and wish they had three.

Jaisalmer — the desert fort

Golden sandstone deep in the Thar, with people still living inside the fort walls. Camel safari and a night in the dunes are the reason to make the long drive out. Two days.

Pushkar and Bikaner

Pushkar for the lake, the ghats and the camel fair in November. Bikaner for Junagarh Fort and the camel breeding farm. One day each if the route allows.

Routes by length

Four to five days. Jaipur with Pushkar, or Jaipur and Jodhpur. Short but real if you are adding Rajasthan to a Golden Triangle trip.

One week. Jaipur, Jodhpur, Udaipur, flying out of Udaipur rather than driving back to Delhi.

Ten days. Add Jaisalmer between Jodhpur and Udaipur, accepting two long driving days.

Two weeks. Delhi, Agra, Jaipur, Pushkar, Jodhpur, Jaisalmer, Udaipur — the full circuit, and the one worth doing if you have the time. See the Royal Rajasthan Odyssey.

Honest driving times

  • Delhi to Jaipur — about 5 hours
  • Jaipur to Jodhpur — about 6 hours
  • Jodhpur to Jaisalmer — about 5 to 6 hours
  • Jaisalmer to Udaipur — about 9 to 10 hours, the hardest day on the circuit
  • Udaipur to Jaipur — about 6 to 7 hours

These are real times on Rajasthan roads, not optimistic ones. We build them into the plan rather than letting you discover them.

When to go

November to February, with little argument. Days are warm and desert nights are genuinely cold. October and March work. April to June regularly passes 45 degrees in the Thar. July to September is the short monsoon, which turns the desert green if that appeals.

What is included

Your private vehicle and driver for the whole circuit, fuel, tolls, interstate taxes, parking and permits. Hotels, meals, monument entry and guides are not included — Rajasthan has some of the best heritage hotels in India and travellers have strong opinions about them, which is exactly why we do not choose for you. We will book them at cost if you prefer.

Plan your Rajasthan route

Tell us which cities and how many days. We will tell you honestly whether the driving works, and what it costs.

No obligation. We never pass your details to anyone.

Questions people ask

How many days do you need in Rajasthan?

Seven for three cities, ten to fourteen for the full circuit including Jaisalmer. Four to five days works if you are adding it to the Golden Triangle.

Is Rajasthan better by car or train?

By car. Trains connect the main cities well, but the desert forts, the stepwells and the villages between them are much easier with your own vehicle, and you keep your luggage with you.

What is the best month to visit Rajasthan?

November to February. December and January are coldest at night in the desert, which is part of the appeal.

Is Jaisalmer worth the long drive?

With ten days or more, yes. On a one-week trip it costs too much of the trip in transit.

Can I combine Rajasthan with the Taj Mahal?

Yes, and most people do. Delhi, Agra and Jaipur form the Golden Triangle, and Rajasthan continues naturally from Jaipur. See our India tours.
