Overview
This
revamped itinerary shifts the focus from the lakes of Udaipur to the stark,
majestic beauty of the Thar Desert, offering a true taste of Rajasthan's
frontier. The journey begins with two nights in Jaipur, the Pink City,
exploring its forts and bazaars, and continues with a spiritual detour through
Ajmer and Pushkar before arriving in Jodhpur for an overnight stay. The
climax of this tour is the desert adventure: two nights dedicated to the Golden
City, Jaisalmer. You will spend one night within the historic walls of
the Jaisalmer Fort and the final night under the stars in a luxury tent at the Sam
Sand Dunes, complete with a camel safari, folk performances, and dinner
around a bonfire. This itinerary is perfect for the traveler seeking a mix of
history, spirituality, and the unforgettable experience of the vast Indian
desert.
Itinerary
Day 1
& 2: The Pink City (Jaipur)
These two days remain dedicated to exploring Jaipur. Upon arrival, Day 1
includes visits to the iconic Hawa Mahal, the majestic City Palace,
and the adjacent Jantar Mantar observatory, concluding with an evening
stroll through the bustling Johari and Bapu Bazaars. Day 2 focuses on the
grandeur of the hilltop forts, starting with the magnificent Amer Fort
in the morning. In the afternoon, you can explore the canons at Jaigarh Fort,
before driving up to Nahargarh Fort to witness a spectacular sunset over
the illuminated city of Jaipur, followed by your second overnight stay.
Day
3: Spirituality and The Blue City (Jaipur to Jodhpur via Ajmer/Pushkar) Today involves a long but
rewarding road journey. After checking out from Jaipur, your journey breaks at Ajmer
to visit the sacred Ajmer Sharif Dargah. You will then proceed to the
holy town of Pushkar to visit the revered Brahma Temple and the
sacred Pushkar Lake. After a brief local lunch, continue your drive across the
changing desert landscape, arriving in Jodhpur, the striking Blue City,
by late evening. Check into your hotel for your single overnight stay,
preparing for an early morning start.
Day
4: Forts, Havelis, and The Golden City (Jodhpur to Jaisalmer) Start your morning with a quick,
impactful visit to Jodhpur’s imposing Mehrangarh Fort, taking in the
stunning views of the blue houses that color the old city, followed by a brief
stop at Jaswant Thada. You will then begin your longest drive—a scenic,
five-to-six-hour journey further west into the desert towards Jaisalmer,
the Golden City. Upon arrival in Jaisalmer in the late afternoon, check into
your hotel. You will spend the evening relaxing and walking around the
perimeter of the majestic Jaisalmer Fort, viewing the sandstone walls glow
under the evening lights. Overnight stay in Jaisalmer City.
Day
5: Desert Adventure and Starry Skies (Jaisalmer to Sam Sand Dunes) Your day begins with sightseeing

residences still thrive inside. Afterward, visit the ornate Patwon ki Haveli,
famous for its intricate architecture. By late afternoon, you will be
transferred to the Sam Sand Dunes. This is the highlight of the trip:
enjoy a traditional camel safari at sunset, witness a vibrant Rajasthani
cultural program (folk music and dance), and savor a delicious
Rajasthani dinner around a bonfire. You will spend your final night sleeping in
a comfortable tent or cottage at the desert camp, experiencing the silent
majesty of the Thar under a blanket of stars.
Day
