Trip Itinerary
Day 01 Arrival in Jaipur
Meet our representative upon arrival in Jaipur and proceed to hotel. Jaipur is a gateway to the
magnificent and vibrant state of Rajasthan. Evening take a stroll in the markets of Jaipur for the
traditional dresses and shoes, curio shops, blue pottery etc. Overnight stay in Jaipur.
Day 02 Jaipur
Proceed for full-day sightseeing trip of Jaipur, also known as the ‘Pink City’. The city of Jaipur is
capital to the state of Rajasthan, famous for its colorful culture, forts, palaces, and lakes. Jaipur
owes its name to the founder of the city, warrior king Sawai Jai Singh II. Visit the Amber Fort.
The best way to explore the fort is to ride up to it on Elephant back. Prominent structures inside
the fort are the Diwan-i-Aam, adorned with latticed galleries, the Ganesh Pol, with a beautiful
painted image of Lord Ganesh, and the stunning Sheesh Mahal, a hall decorated with thousands
of tiny mirrors. Later, stop to photograph the beautiful Hawa Mahal, also known as the “Palace of
the Winds.” This beautiful façade with its ornately carved latticework windows was designed so
the ladies of the palace could look out onto the streets unobserved. Later you will visit the City
Palace… again, a synthesis of Rajasthani and Mughal styles. The museums here showcase rare
and ancient manuscripts, arms dating back to the 15th century, and costumes of erstwhile
royalty. Later, visit the Jantar Mantar Observatory, comprising geometric devices for measuring
time, and tracking stars in their orbits. Overnight in Jaipur.
Day 03 Jaipur – Jodhpur (340 kms / approx. 6.5 hours)
After breakfast proceed to Jodhpur. Arrive Jodhpur and check-in to your hotel. Overnight in
Jodhpur.
Day 04 Sightseeing of Jodhpu
After breakfast, Proceed for half-day sightseeing trip of Jodhpur, which is the second largest city
in Rajasthan and also called the ‘Sun City’. Visit the Mehrangarh Fort. This spectacular fort made
from red sandstone stands on a perpendicular cliff above the skyline of Jodhpur. The
foundations of this fort were laid in 1459; today it houses a museum with a fine collection of
arms, costumes, paintings and even a collection of palanquins. Also visit Jaswant Thada, a
marble cenotaph built to commemorate Maharaja Jaswant Singh II. The monument, in its
entirety, is built out of intricately carved sheets of marble. These stones are extremely thin and
polished so that they emit a warm glow when the sun's rays dance across their surface. Later,
drive past the Mandore garden, which showcases cenotaphs of Jodhpur's former rulers; instead
of the usual umbrella-shaped cenotaphs these are built along the lines of a Hindu temple. Rest
of the day at leisure. Overnight in Jodhpur.
Day 05 Jodhpur – Udaipur (270 kms / approx 6 hours)
After breakfast, proceed to Udaipur. Enroute, visit the Ranakpur Temples, acclaimed worldwide

leisure. Overnight in Udaipur.
Day 06 Sightseeing in Udaipur
After breakfast, proceed for full-day tour of Udaipur. Visit the City Palace, standing on the east
bank of Lake Pichola. The complex is a massive series of palaces built at different times from
1559. The balconies of the palace provide panoramic views of the Lake Palace Hotel and Jag
Mandir on one side, and the city of Udaipur on the other. The paintings, mosaics, intricately
carved 'chhatris' and the architecturally brilliant facade all contribute to making your visit to the
City Palace a truly memorable experience. Thereafter, visit a picturesque garden, Sahelion ki
Bari. You will visit also visit Jagdish Temple, which is raised on a tall terrace and was completed
in 1651. It attaches a double-storey Mandapa (hall) to a double-storey saandhara (with a
