7 Days Royal Rajasthan Tour: Jaipur, Pushkar, Jodhpur & Jaisalmer
Most first-time visitors to India stitch Rajasthan onto the end of a Delhi and Agra trip — a day or two in Jaipur, then home. This route does the opposite: seven days spent entirely within Rajasthan itself, moving from the Pink City’s palaces to the holy ghats of Pushkar, the blue lanes beneath Jodhpur’s fort, and the golden sandstone of Jaisalmer at the edge of the Thar Desert. No Taj Mahal, no Delhi traffic — just Rajasthan, properly explored.

Why This Route Is Different
A standard Golden Triangle tour gives you a taste of Rajasthan through Jaipur alone, then moves on to Agra and Delhi. This route stays in Rajasthan for the entire week, and adds three places most Golden Triangle itineraries never reach at all.
- Pushkar - one of Hinduism's holiest towns, built around a lake said to have formed where Brahma dropped a lotus, ringed by ghats and over 500 temples
- Jodhpur - the Blue City, its old town spread beneath Mehrangarh Fort, one of the largest and best-preserved forts in India
- Jaisalmer - a living fort of golden sandstone rising straight out of the Thar Desert, still home to families, shops and temples within its walls
None of these are detours. Each one adds a genuinely different layer to the trip — faith and ritual in Pushkar, a fort city still lived in at Jodhpur, and the desert itself at Jaisalmer — without a single day spent on Mughal monuments you may already have planned to see on another trip.
Your 7-Day Journey, Day by Day
Arrive in Jaipur and settle into your hotel. If your flight lands early enough, ease in with a walk through the old city bazaars or a rooftop view over the Pink City at sunset. Overnight in Jaipur (night 1 of 2).
A full day of Jaipur’s royal heritage: Amber Fort by jeep or on foot, the City Palace, Hawa Mahal, and the astronomical instruments of Jantar Mantar. In the evening, shop the bazaars — this is the city for gemstones, block-printed textiles, and traditional jewelry. Overnight in Jaipur (night 2 of 2).
Drive to Pushkar (approx. 2.5-3 hours), arriving in time for the evening aarti (prayer ceremony) at the lake’s ghats — one of the most atmospheric moments of the entire trip, with hundreds of oil lamps set adrift on the water. Overnight in Pushkar.
A morning at the Brahma Temple, one of the only temples in the world dedicated to the Hindu creator god, followed by a walk along the ghats and through Pushkar’s bazaar, known for silver jewelry and hand-woven textiles. Early afternoon, drive to Jodhpur (approx. 5 hours), arriving beneath the walls of Mehrangarh Fort. Overnight in Jodhpur.
A morning at Mehrangarh Fort, one of India’s largest forts, followed by a walk through Jodhpur’s blue-washed old city lanes. In the afternoon, drive to Jaisalmer (approx. 5-6 hours), watching the landscape turn to desert along the way. Overnight in Jaisalmer (night 1 of 2).
A full day in Jaisalmer: explore the fort itself — one of the only “living forts” in the world, still home to families, shops and temples within its walls — and the carved havelis of the old city. In the late afternoon, head out to the Sam Sand Dunes for sunset over the Thar Desert, with a short camel ride included. Overnight in Jaisalmer (night 2 of 2).
A private drive back to Jaipur (approx. 6-7 hours), with stops along the way to break up the journey. Drop-off at your Jaipur hotel or the airport, timed to your onward travel.
Practical note: the Jaisalmer to Jaipur drive on the final day is the longest of the trip. If you’d prefer to shorten it, we can route you via a short domestic flight from Jodhpur or Jaisalmer instead — ask us when you enquire.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes this different from a standard Golden Triangle tour?
A standard Golden Triangle tour covers Delhi, Agra, and Jaipur. This route skips Delhi and Agra entirely and stays within Rajasthan for the full week, adding Pushkar’s holy ghats, Jodhpur’s Blue City, and Jaisalmer’s desert fort — a very different, and much less rushed, kind of trip.
Why is Pushkar considered a holy site?
Pushkar Lake is one of Hinduism’s most sacred sites, believed to have formed where the god Brahma dropped a lotus flower. The town is home to one of the only temples in the world dedicated to Brahma himself, making it a major pilgrimage destination as well as a stop for travelers.
Is alcohol really banned in Pushkar?
Yes — Pushkar is a vegetarian, alcohol-free town out of respect for its religious significance, and meat and eggs aren’t sold within town limits either. It’s worth setting expectations for this in advance.
What's the difference between Jodhpur and Jaisalmer?
Jodhpur, the Blue City, is built beneath Mehrangarh Fort, with old-city lanes painted in shades of blue. Jaisalmer, the Golden City, is a living fort of golden sandstone at the edge of the Thar Desert, with families, shops and temples still inside its walls, and the Sam Sand Dunes nearby.
Is the drive on Day 7 back to Jaipur very long?
Yes — it’s the longest drive of the trip, around 6-7 hours. If you’d rather not do it in one go, we can route you via a short domestic flight from Jodhpur or Jaisalmer instead; just let us know when you enquire.
Can we add an overnight desert camp near the Sam Sand Dunes?
Yes — this is a popular optional add-on. We can arrange a night in a desert camp near the dunes, with your itinerary adjusted accordingly.
What's the best time of year for this route?
October to March offers the most comfortable temperatures across all four cities, including the desert legs around Jaisalmer. If your dates align with the Pushkar Camel Fair (usually October or November), the town becomes considerably livelier — let us know if you’d like to time your trip around it, or avoid it.
Is this a private tour, or will we be grouped with other travelers?
Fully private. Your vehicle, driver, and guide are exclusively yours for all 7 days.
What should we wear when visiting temples in Pushkar?
Modest clothing covering shoulders and knees at all temple sites, for both men and women. Your guide will let you know of any specific requirements at each stop.
Can this itinerary be shortened or reordered?
Yes. Pushkar or Jaisalmer can each be adjusted by a night if time is tight, or the route can be reordered to end in Jodhpur instead of looping back to Jaipur — let us know your priorities and available days.
What payment methods do you accept?
International card, bank transfer, or Revolut — you’ll receive a formal invoice under our registered business name, so there’s no need to carry cash for the full amount.
Is airport pickup and drop-off included?
Yes — our representative meets you at Jaipur airport on arrival, and you’re dropped at your Jaipur hotel or the airport at the end of the tour.
