Travel from Delhi through Agra and Jaipur, then continue to Pushkar, Jodhpur, Jaisalmer and Udaipur on this 14-day private tour.

Choose hotels that suit your budget, request local guides and tailor optional activities to your interests and preferred pace.

Tour Itinerary
Day 1: Arrive in Delhi
Meet your driver at Delhi airport, railway station or another agreed pickup point. Transfer to your hotel and take time to settle in.
Keep the first day flexible, especially after an international flight. If you arrive early and feel rested, request a short local outing. Otherwise, enjoy dinner and prepare for tomorrow’s sightseeing.
Standard hotel check-in times apply. Request early check-in in advance if your arrival requires it.
Overnight stay: Delhi.
Day 2: Explore Old Delhi and New Delhi
After breakfast, begin with Old Delhi. Visit Jama Masjid according to visitor access arrangements, then explore selected streets around Chandni Chowk. An optional rickshaw ride can form part of the visit if you prefer less walking.
Continue towards New Delhi for an India Gate exterior stop where access permits. Later, visit Humayun’s Tomb or the Qutub Minar complex. You can request both, but choosing one allows more time for a relaxed lunch and longer visits.
The supplied tour examples combine Old Delhi, Humayun’s Tomb, Qutub Minar and other New Delhi stops in different ways. Your final sightseeing selection should reflect traffic, opening arrangements and your pace.
Return to your hotel in the late afternoon or evening.
Overnight stay: Delhi.
Day 3: Delhi to Agra and Agra Fort
Enjoy breakfast, check out and travel to Agra. Stop for refreshments when needed and keep the morning mainly for the transfer.
After arrival, check in according to your hotel’s policy. Later, visit Agra Fort and explore its palace areas and courtyards. The fort complements the following morning’s Taj Mahal visit and forms a main stop in the supplied Golden Triangle itineraries.
Keep the evening relaxed. An additional visit or market outing can be requested if arrival time allows, but avoid filling the day with too many stops before the early start.
Overnight stay: Agra.
Day 4: Taj Mahal Visit and Journey to Jaipur
Leave early for the Taj Mahal. Your exact pickup time will depend on your travel date, hotel location and entry arrangements.
Take time for the gardens, architecture and photographs. If you select a guide, use the visit to learn about the monument rather than only moving between photo spots.
The Taj Mahal closes to general visitors every Friday. Your travel dates or sightseeing order must change if the proposed visit falls on that day.
Return to your hotel for breakfast and check-out, then continue to Jaipur.
You can request a stop at Fatehpur Sikri or Chand Baori before booking. Adding either visit extends the travel day; including both would leave much less time for breaks and a relaxed arrival. The supplied itineraries use these as possible stops between Agra and Jaipur.
Overnight stay: Jaipur.
Day 5: Jaipur Forts, Palaces and City Sights
After breakfast, start with Amber Fort. Allow time to explore its palace areas and courtyards without rushing.
On the route back towards the city, stop for exterior photographs at Jal Mahal and Hawa Mahal. Continue after lunch to City Palace and Jantar Mantar. These attractions form the main Jaipur sightseeing programme in the supplied tour sources.
Your selected ticket determines which City Palace areas you can enter. Special-access sections require separate confirmation.
If you still feel like exploring, finish with a short market walk. Shopping remains optional; you can return to the hotel earlier instead.
Overnight stay: Jaipur.
Day 6: Jaipur to Pushkar
Have breakfast, check out and leave for Pushkar. Today introduces a smaller destination between the larger city stays.
After arrival, check in and take a break. Later, explore the Pushkar Lake area and request a Brahma Temple visit according to visitor rules and opening arrangements. Pushkar provides a spiritual extension to the Golden Triangle in the supplied sources.
Keep the walk comfortable and allow time to enjoy the surroundings rather than adding a long list of attractions.
An Ajmer visit can be requested, but it should form part of the agreed programme rather than an assumed extra.
Overnight stay: Pushkar.
Day 7: Pushkar to Jodhpur
After breakfast, travel to Jodhpur with meal and refreshment breaks along the way.
Check in to your hotel on arrival. Keep the rest of the day flexible. A short local outing can work if you arrive early, but reserve the main fort visit for tomorrow.
For an optional evening experience, request a rooftop meal or a short guided walk. Restaurant reservations, meals and additional guiding should appear separately in your quotation.
Overnight stay: Jodhpur.
Day 8: Discover Mehrangarh Fort and Jodhpur
Begin the day with Mehrangarh Fort, followed by Jaswant Thada. These are central sights in the supplied Jodhpur itinerary, alongside the old city and its blue-painted houses.
After lunch, choose a guided old-city walk or return to your hotel for a break. A walking route can focus on local streets, photographs and markets according to your interests.
You can also request the Umaid Bhawan Palace Museum if time permits. Confirm access and ticket arrangements; a museum visit does not imply entry to the palace hotel or private residential areas.
Overnight stay: Jodhpur.
Day 9: Jodhpur to Jaisalmer
Enjoy breakfast and begin the road journey to Jaisalmer. Keep this as a transfer-focused day, allowing time for breaks.
After reaching your hotel, settle in and rest. If arrival time allows, take a short walk or arrange dinner locally. Avoid committing to a substantial sightseeing visit after the drive.
Jaisalmer adds a desert-focused section to a Golden Triangle and Rajasthan journey, distinct from the fort cities and lakeside setting elsewhere on the route.
Overnight stay: Jaisalmer.
Day 10: Jaisalmer Sightseeing and Optional Desert Experience
Spend the morning exploring Jaisalmer with a local guide if you have selected one. Request a programme centred on the fort area, old streets and selected heritage buildings, with the exact visits confirmed before booking.
After lunch, choose between more city time and an optional desert excursion. The supplied sources identify desert camps and safari experiences as possible reasons to extend a Rajasthan tour to Jaisalmer.
Ask for a clear description of any proposed desert activity, including:
Transfer arrangements and travel time.
Activity type and duration.
Whether dinner or a cultural programme forms part of the price.
Camp location and accommodation standard.
Weather-related changes and cancellation terms.
The standard overnight in this draft remains at a Jaisalmer hotel. A desert camp can replace that hotel night only when you specifically request and confirm it.
Overnight stay: Jaisalmer, or a separately confirmed desert camp.
Day 11: Jaisalmer to Jodhpur
After breakfast, return to Jodhpur by road. This overnight stop divides the journey between Jaisalmer and Udaipur rather than combining the full distance into one transfer.
Stop for meals and refreshments as needed. On arrival, check in and enjoy a quiet evening.
This is a travel day, not an additional full Jodhpur sightseeing day. Any extra activity depends on arrival time and the agreed vehicle schedule.
Overnight stay: Jodhpur.
Day 12: Jodhpur to Udaipur with Optional Ranakpur
Check out after breakfast and continue towards Udaipur.
You can request a visit to Ranakpur Jain Temple along the journey. The supplied Rajasthan itinerary includes Ranakpur between Jodhpur and Udaipur for its marble temple architecture.
Confirm visitor hours, dress requirements and photography rules before finalising the stop. A direct transfer remains an option if you prefer fewer visits.
Reach Udaipur, check in and relax. Keep the evening free rather than relying on a same-day boat departure or a fixed cultural-show booking.
Overnight stay: Udaipur.
Day 13: Udaipur City Palace and Lakeside Experiences
After breakfast, visit the City Palace complex, followed by Jagdish Temple according to opening and visitor arrangements. Allow time to explore the old-city area and stop for lunch.
You can add Saheliyon Ki Bari or a visit around Fateh Sagar Lake, depending on your interests and pace. These sights, along with City Palace and Lake Pichola, feature in the supplied Udaipur programme.
Later, request an optional Lake Pichola boat ride. Confirm the service, departure point, route and any island stop, since different tickets can cover different experiences.
A cultural performance can provide another evening option. Boat rides and performances depend on availability, weather where relevant, and operating schedules; include them in the quotation only after confirmation.
Overnight stay: Udaipur.
Day 14: Departure from Udaipur
Enjoy breakfast and check out according to your hotel’s policy. Transfer to Udaipur airport, railway station or another agreed location.
If you have a late departure, request additional vehicle use, sightseeing or late check-out in advance. These services do not automatically form part of the standard package.
Your Golden Triangle with Rajasthan tour ends in Udaipur. Onward travel to Delhi or another city requires a separate booking.

FAQs
Q 1. Does the tour start and finish in Delhi?
No. This proposed itinerary starts in Delhi and finishes in Udaipur. A return flight, train journey or road extension to Delhi requires a separate arrangement and quotation.
Q 2. Is this a private Rajasthan tour?
The proposed package uses private transport for the agreed itinerary rather than a shared sightseeing coach. Confirm the vehicle category, capacity, luggage space and service schedule before booking.
Q 3. Does the itinerary include a Taj Mahal sunrise visit?
It plans an early-morning visit on Day 4. The exact departure time depends on your travel date and entry arrangements. Weather and visibility affect sunrise views, so no clear-sky experience can be guaranteed.
Q 4. What happens if the Taj Mahal visit falls on Friday?
The Taj Mahal closes to general visitors every Friday. Adjust the travel dates or sightseeing order before confirming hotels and transport.
Q 5. Is a Jaisalmer desert camp included?
Not in the standard overnight plan shown here. The draft includes two Jaisalmer hotel nights. You can request a desert camp to replace one of those nights, with its location, facilities, meals and activities clearly listed.
Q 6. Are desert safaris and boat rides included?
Only when the quotation names them. Ask for the exact activity, duration, operator arrangements and cancellation conditions rather than relying on a general phrase such as “desert experience” or “lake visit.”
Q 7. Are local guides included throughout the tour?
Guide services depend on your selected package. Confirm the cities covered, preferred language and guiding schedule. A driver and a sightseeing guide perform different roles.
Q 8. Does the package include monument entry tickets?
Only if your quotation specifically includes them. General admission, museum tickets, special-access palace areas and optional activities may involve separate charges.
Q 9. Why does the itinerary return to Jodhpur after Jaisalmer?
The second Jodhpur stay divides the onward road journey to Udaipur. It serves mainly as an overnight travel break rather than another full sightseeing stay.
Q 10. Is the tour suitable for children and senior travellers?
The itinerary can accommodate shorter walks, fewer optional stops and more breaks, but it still includes substantial road travel. Share ages, mobility requirements and preferred daily activity levels before booking.
Q 11. What should I share when requesting a quotation?
Send your travel dates, group size, room requirements, hotel preferences, arrival details and finishing city. Mention whether you want guides, entry tickets, a desert camp, boat rides or any accessibility arrangements.
