Rajasthan Maharaja Palaces Tour – Day-by-Day Itinerary

• Day 1 – Arrival in Delhi: Your private chauffeur and representative welcome you at the airport and take you to your hotel. Relax after your flight, take a short walk nearby or simply unwind. Overnight in Delhi.
• Day 2 – Explore Old & New Delhi: Discover Delhi’s contrasts between old Mughal lanes and wide colonial avenues. Visit Jama Masjid and ride a rickshaw through Chandni Chowk’s spice and market streets. Drive past the Red Fort, India Gate and Rashtrapati Bhavan, then continue to Humayun’s Tomb and Qutub Minar. Delhi can feel intense at first, but its layers of history make it unforgettable. Overnight in Delhi.
• Day 3 – Delhi → Agra (approx. 4–5 hrs drive): Drive to Agra via the Yamuna Expressway, stopping at Sikandra, the mausoleum of Emperor Akbar. Explore Agra Fort and the tomb of Itmad-ud-Daula, often called the “Baby Taj”. The evening is deliberately relaxed, ahead of an early start tomorrow. Overnight in Agra.
• Day 4 – Sunrise Taj Mahal → Jaipur via Fatehpur Sikri & Abhaneri (approx. 5–6 hrs drive excluding stops): Visit the Taj Mahal at sunrise, the most peaceful and photogenic time. After breakfast, drive towards Jaipur, stopping at Fatehpur Sikri and Abhaneri, where Mughal history meets Rajasthan’s remarkable stepwell architecture. Arrive in Jaipur by evening. Overnight in Jaipur.
• Day 5 – Jaipur’s Royal Heritage: Visit Amber Fort above the Aravalli Hills, then the City Palace and Jantar Mantar, with photos at Hawa Mahal. Jaipur is one of India’s best cities for textiles, gemstones and handicrafts, so there is time to browse the bazaars. In the evening, enjoy a royal-style dinner inspired by Rajasthan’s palace traditions. Overnight in Jaipur.
• Day 6 – Jaipur → Bikaner (approx. 5–6 hrs drive): Travel through semi-desert landscapes and rural villages to Bikaner, quieter and more traditional than Jaipur. Visit Junagarh Fort, one of Rajasthan’s finest citadels, known for its richly decorated palaces, audience halls and preserved royal apartments. Evening free to relax or explore the old town. Overnight in Bikaner.
• Day 7 – Bikaner → Jaisalmer (approx. 6 hrs drive): Continue towards Jaisalmer as the scenery changes to desert. The roads grow quieter closer to the Thar Desert, with occasional camel carts and remote settlements. Arrive in the Golden City by evening and enjoy the warm glow of its sandstone architecture at sunset. Overnight in Jaisalmer.
• Day 8 – Explore Jaisalmer: Explore Jaisalmer Fort, one of the world’s few living forts, where local families still live. Wander narrow lanes of carved havelis, including Patwon Ki Haveli. Later, visit the Sam or Khuri sand dunes for an optional camel ride, sunset views, folk music and Rajasthani cultural performances. Overnight in Jaisalmer.
• Day 9 – Jaisalmer → Jodhpur (approx. 5–6 hrs drive): Drive across open desert and rural Rajasthan, with occasional roadside tea stops along the way. Arrive in Jodhpur by evening and enjoy time at leisure in the Blue City. Overnight in Jodhpur.

• Day 11 – Jodhpur → Devigarh Palace (approx. 4–5 hrs drive): Journey through the scenic Aravalli countryside, passing rural villages and marble-producing regions. Arrive at the restored 18th-century Devigarh Palace and spend the rest of the day enjoying its elegant architecture and refined hospitality. Overnight at Devigarh Palace.
• Day 12 – Devigarh Palace Leisure: A leisurely day at one of Rajasthan’s finest heritage palace hotels. Relax by the pool, enjoy a spa treatment, take a guided village walk or simply soak in the peaceful atmosphere. Overnight at Devigarh Palace.
• Day 13 – Devigarh → Udaipur (approx. 1–1.5 hrs drive): Drive to Udaipur, the City of Lakes. After check-in, enjoy an evening boat ride on Lake Pichola, with views of the City Palace, Jag Mandir and the surrounding hills at sunset. Overnight in Udaipur.
• Day 14 – Udaipur Exploration: Visit the City Palace above Lake Pichola, Jagdish Temple and Saheliyon-ki-Bari. Udaipur is best enjoyed slowly, so there is time for lakeside cafés, art shops and quiet corners of the old city, then a farewell dinner if you wish. Overnight in Udaipur.
