Rajasthan Maharaja Palaces Tour Itinerary

• Day 01: Arrival in Delhi — Arrive in Delhi where your private chauffeur and representative will welcome you at the airport. Transfer to your hotel and enjoy time to relax after your international journey. Depending on your arrival time, you may take a short walk nearby or simply unwind at the hotel. Overnight in Delhi.
• Day 02: Explore Old & New Delhi — After breakfast, begin discovering Delhi’s fascinating contrasts between old Mughal lanes and wide colonial avenues. Visit Jama Masjid before enjoying a rickshaw ride through Chandni Chowk’s lively spice and market streets. Drive past the Red Fort, India Gate, and Rashtrapati Bhawan before continuing to Humayun’s Tomb and Qutub Minar. Delhi can feel intense at first, but the city’s layers of history make it unforgettable. Overnight in Delhi.
• Day 03: Delhi → Agra (Approx. 4–5 hrs drive) — After breakfast, drive to Agra via the Yamuna Expressway. En route, stop at Sikandra, the mausoleum of Emperor Akbar. Upon arrival, explore Agra Fort and the elegant Tomb of Itmad-ud-Daula, often called the “Baby Taj.” The evening is intentionally kept relaxed because tomorrow begins early for the sunrise Taj Mahal experience. Overnight in Agra.
• Day 04: Sunrise Taj Mahal → Jaipur (Approx. 5–6 hrs drive excluding stops) — Early morning visit to the Taj Mahal at sunrise, the most peaceful and photogenic time to experience the monument. Return to the hotel for breakfast before driving toward Jaipur. On the way, explore Fatehpur Sikri and Abhaneri, where Mughal history meets Rajasthan’s remarkable stepwell architecture. Arrive in Jaipur by evening and settle into your heritage hotel. Overnight in Jaipur.
• Day 05: Experience Jaipur’s royal heritage — After breakfast, visit Amber Fort, dramatically positioned above the Aravalli Hills. Continue to City Palace and Jantar Mantar before stopping for photos at Hawa Mahal. Jaipur is also one of the best cities in India for textiles, gemstones, and handicrafts, so there is time to explore local bazaars at a comfortable pace. In the evening, enjoy a royal-style dining experience inspired by Rajasthan’s palace traditions. Overnight in Jaipur.
• Day 06: Jaipur → Bikaner (Approx. 5–6 hrs drive) — After breakfast, travel deeper into Rajasthan through semi-desert landscapes and rural villages. Bikaner feels quieter and more traditional compared to Jaipur. Visit Junagarh Fort, known for its richly decorated royal chambers and impressive architecture. Evening free to relax or explore the old town atmosphere. Overnight in Bikaner.
• Day 07: Bikaner → Jaisalmer (Approx. 6 hrs drive) — Following breakfast, continue toward Jaisalmer through changing desert scenery. The roads become quieter as you move closer to the Thar Desert, with occasional camel carts and remote settlements along the way. Arrive in the Golden City by evening and enjoy the warm glow of sandstone architecture at sunset. Overnight in Jaisalmer.
• Day 08: Explore Jaisalmer — After breakfast, explore Jaisalmer Fort, one of the world’s few living forts where local families still reside. Wander through narrow lanes lined with intricately carved havelis including Patwon Ki Haveli. Later, head toward the desert dunes for sunset views, cultural performances, and the atmosphere that makes Jaisalmer unlike anywhere else in Rajasthan. Overnight in Jaisalmer.
• Day 09: Jaisalmer → Jodhpur (Approx. 5–6 hrs drive) — After breakfast, drive toward Jodhpur across open desert landscapes and rural Rajasthan. The route is scenic and relaxed, with occasional roadside tea stops adding to the experience. Arrive in Jodhpur by evening and enjoy time at leisure in the Blue City. Overnight in Jodhpur.
• Day 10: Explore Jodhpur’s Blue City — After breakfast, visit Mehrangarh Fort, one of India’s most spectacular forts with sweeping views over the blue-painted old city below. Continue to Jaswant Thada and Umaid Bhawan Palace before walking through local markets and heritage lanes. Jodhpur has a more relaxed rhythm compared to Jaipur and offers wonderful photography opportunities throughout the old city. Overnight in Jodhpur.
• Day 11: Jodhpur → Devigarh Palace (Approx. 4–5 hrs drive) — After breakfast, travel through the countryside toward Devigarh Palace in the Aravalli Hills. The journey passes small villages, marble regions, and rural landscapes rarely seen on classic tourist routes. Arrive at the beautifully restored palace retreat and enjoy a quieter side of Rajasthan with refined royal hospitality. Overnight in Devigarh.
• Day 12: Devigarh Palace Leisure — Breakfast at the palace followed by a relaxed day at leisure. You may choose optional village walks, spa treatments, countryside experiences, or simply enjoy the peaceful atmosphere of the palace itself. Many travelers appreciate this slower day after several active sightseeing days across Rajasthan. Overnight in Devigarh.
• Day 13: Devigarh → Udaipur (Approx. 1.5–2 hrs drive) — After breakfast, drive to Udaipur, Rajasthan’s romantic lake city. Compared to the desert landscapes of western Rajasthan, Udaipur feels greener and more serene. In the evening, enjoy a boat ride on Lake Pichola with beautiful views of palaces, ghats, and surrounding hills during sunset. Overnight in Udaipur.
• Day 14: Udaipur Exploration — After breakfast, visit the grand City Palace overlooking Lake Pichola, followed by Jagdish Temple and Saheliyon-ki-Bari. Udaipur is best enjoyed slowly, so there is also time to explore lakeside cafés, local art shops, and quieter corners of the old city. Evening free to relax by the lake or enjoy a farewell dinner. Overnight in Udaipur.
• Day 15: Departure from Udaipur — After breakfast, transfer to Udaipur Airport for your onward journey. Your Rajasthan Maharaja Palaces Tour concludes with memories of royal forts, palace stays, desert landscapes, and the warmth of Rajasthan’s hospitality.

Best Time to Visit – Maharaja Palaces Tours

Rajasthan is best explored between October and March, when the weather stays pleasant for long sightseeing days, palace visits, village drives, and evenings in heritage hotels. The winter months are especially comfortable for exploring cities like Jaipur, Jodhpur, Udaipur, and Jaisalmer without the intense desert heat.

April to June can be warmer, but many travelers still enjoy this season because hotels are quieter and the pace feels more relaxed. It’s a good time for guests who prefer fewer tourists and more peaceful palace stays.

During the July to September monsoon season, Rajasthan takes on a very different mood. Lakes around Udaipur fill up, the countryside becomes greener, and old forts look especially dramatic under cloudy skies. While occasional rain showers are expected, this period can feel surprisingly beautiful and less crowded.
