Short answer: eight days is a comfortable royal Rajasthan. Spend two nights in Jaipur, one in Pushkar, one in Jodhpur and three in Udaipur, with Ranakpur on the road and Kumbhalgarh as a day trip. No leg is over about three and a half hours.
This is the route of the old Rajput kingdoms: the pink capital of Jaipur, the holy lake town of Pushkar, the sandstone fort of Jodhpur and the lake palaces of Udaipur. Eight days gives each place a proper stay: two nights in Jaipur, one in Pushkar, one in Jodhpur and three in Udaipur.
It starts in Jaipur, so you can fly straight in and skip Delhi, or we add a night in Delhi at the start. It is a slower sibling of our 7 Days Rajasthan Tour, with the extra days spent in Jaipur and Udaipur.
Met at the airport or station and taken to your hotel. In the afternoon, visit the City Palace and Jantar Mantar with a licensed guide, then a photo stop at Hawa Mahal.
Visit Amber Fort early (by jeep or on foot), then free time in the bazaars, a block-printing workshop or a rooftop dinner.
Drive about 145 km (90 miles) to Pushkar (two and a half to three hours). Visit the lake, its ghats and the Brahma temple with your guide, then the bazaar at sunset.
Drive about 190 km (120 miles) to Jodhpur (three and a half hours). In the afternoon, visit Mehrangarh Fort and Jaswant Thada, with a walk through the blue lanes of the old city.
Drive about 160 km (100 miles) to Ranakpur (three hours) for the Jain temples, open to visitors from about midday, then about 90 km (55 miles) to Udaipur (two hours).
The City Palace, Jagdish Temple and the old city with your guide, then a boat on Lake Pichola at sunset, subject to the day’s schedule.
Drive about 85 km (55 miles) to Kumbhalgarh (about two hours) and walk the fort and its long wall with your guide. Return to Udaipur by evening.
Transfer to Udaipur airport or station for your onward journey. A flight to Delhi takes about an hour and a half and is not included.
Rajasthan rewards good planning. These are the details we handle so the distances never feel like work.
Every leg is broken with stops worth making, so the road becomes part of the trip.
Amber is visited early, Ranakpur from midday and the Udaipur lake at sunset.
The same driver stays with you throughout, and a licensed local guide joins you in each city.
Your guide is chosen for the language you prefer and the things you love. Ask for Japanese or Russian and we will arrange it where we can.
Rajasthan is big, so here is every leg with its distance and likely drive time. Times vary with traffic and stops.
