Itinerary

Day1

Arrival & Evening Preview Shoot

Arrival at Jaipur/Jodhpur (depending on your chosen transfer). Drive to Mandawa in the Shekhawati region. Settle into a heritage haveli hotel and do an orientation walk to prep gear. Evening preview shoot focuses on warm-hour details—doorways, frescoes, and textured walls.

Photographer's tip: Arrive with batteries charged and a 24-70mm and 50mm for detail and environmental portraits.

Day2

Sunrise Havelis & Travel to Bikaner

Early morning sunrise shoot at the Mandawa Havelis to capture frescoes and soft sidelight. After breakfast, drive to Bikaner (approx. 3–4 hrs). Afternoon visit to Junagarh Fort and the old city for strong architectural frames; evening golden-hour street scenes in bazaars.

Important: Carry ND filters for creative exposures in bright midday light.

Day3

Bikaner to Jaisalmer — First Impressions

After sunrise/early morning capture in Bikaner (portraits and market life), depart for Jaisalmer (approx. 5–6 hrs). Check-in and relax. Late-afternoon shoot at Gadisar Lake and first evening views of Jaisalmer Fort as it lights up at dusk—excellent for silhouette and warm-tone photos.

Day4

Jaisalmer Fort & Haveli Walks

Full day exploring Jaisalmer Fort (patios, narrow lanes, rooftop vistas) and the intricate havelis of the old town such as Patwon Ki Haveli and Salim Singh Ki Haveli. Afternoon workshop-style session focusing on composition, light, and storytelling with locals.

Special note: Respect private haveli interiors—ask permission before photographing people indoors.

Day5

Desert Safari, Sunset Dunes & Overnight Camp

Drive to Sam Sand Dunes for late-afternoon dune exploration. Capture the dramatic desert sunset, long shadows on ripples, and camel silhouettes. Overnight in a desert camp with opportunities for night-sky long-exposure and Milky Way photography (season permitting).

Tip: Bring a wide-angle lens (14–24mm or 16–35mm) and a sturdy tripod for star trails and Milky Way shots.

Day6

Sunrise Dunes & Departure

Optional pre-dawn shoot to capture dramatic dune shapes at sunrise. Return to Jaisalmer for breakfast and final town shoots—portrait opportunities with local artisans and last-minute market frames. Transfer to Jaisalmer railway station/airport or drive back to your onward destination.

Priyanshu Chaturvedi

First Time Trusting a Company, No Regrets

Honestly, I was skeptical about handing over the full planning to someone else. My wife and I had always done our own bookings, so this was the first time we actually trusted a company end-to-end. TourGrids took care of everything for our Rajasthan trip — itinerary, cabs, hotels, the works. Our coordinator Anjali was always reachable on WhatsApp and sorted our queries within minutes, not days. The hotels were proper good, especially in Jaisalmer. No hidden charges, no last-minute surprises. Whatever was discussed on call is exactly what we got on the ground. That reliability is what got us. We're already talking to them about our next trip.

Kajal Deshmukh

Udaipur Palace Hotel Was Completely Worth It

We had booked a 7-night Rajasthan trip for our anniversary — just the two of us — and honestly the hotels TourGrids arranged were the highlight. The heritage property in Jaisalmer had a rooftop view we did not expect at that price point, and the Udaipur resort was proper good, lake-facing room and everything. What also stood out was the cab situation — every transfer was pre-confirmed, drivers were on time, and the vehicles were clean and comfortable throughout. No last-minute scrambling between cities. Our coordinator had everything lined up before we even thought to ask. Billing was transparent, no hidden charges anywhere. For a trip like Rajasthan, having that kind of ground support makes a real difference.

Aryan Nagoria

Rajasthan Cabs Arrived Before We Even Asked

We were a couple doing Rajasthan for the first time and honestly had no clue where to start. TourGrids sorted the entire thing over a few WhatsApp conversations — properties, cabs, the full route. What stood out most was the hotel quality. From Jaipur to Udaipur, every property was proper good — clean, well-located, nothing felt like a random filler booking. The cab arrangements were just as reliable. Drivers showed up on time, knew the routes, and the transitions between cities were never a headache. No last-minute confusion, no surprise charges. Someone was always reachable when we had questions. Rajasthan felt genuinely relaxed because the ground arrangements were just solid throughout.

Pradip Mittal

Rajasthan Hotels Left Us Genuinely Impressed

We were a couple doing Rajasthan for the first time, and honestly I was a bit nervous handing over all the planning to someone else. But TourGrids really came through. The properties they picked — especially the heritage hotel in Jaipur and the resort near Udaipur — were proper good, way above what I expected at that price point. Rooms were clean, locations were central, no surprises at check-in. The cab arrangements were equally solid. Every transfer was on time, drivers were professional, and we never had to chase anyone. Our coordinator was reachable on WhatsApp throughout. No hidden charges at the end either, which I genuinely appreciated. Will be planning the next trip through them.

Ayushi Ganguly

Rajasthan Properties Genuinely Surprised Us Both

We were honestly not expecting the hotels to be this good. My husband and I did a 7-night Rajasthan trip through TourGrids and the properties they picked — especially in Jaisalmer and Udaipur — were proper good. Not just decent, actually well-located and comfortable. Before booking, our coordinator Neha spent time understanding what we wanted and didn't push anything unnecessary. The cab arrangements were equally solid — drivers were on time at every transfer, clean cars, no random detours. WhatsApp communication was easy throughout the planning phase and even during the trip. No hidden charges, no last-minute surprises. For a couple traveling together, having all of this sorted in advance genuinely made the whole experience feel different.

Umme Zaidi

Rajasthan Cabs and Properties Both Delivered Well

We were a couple doing Rajasthan for the first time and honestly had no idea where to even start with hotels. TourGrids sorted the entire thing over a few WhatsApp chats — and the properties they picked were proper good. Jaipur had a lovely heritage-style hotel, and the Udaipur resort had lake views we weren't even expecting at that price point. The cab arrangements were equally solid — drivers showed up on time, cars were clean and comfortable, and transfers between cities were never stressful. Coordinator was reachable whenever we had questions. No hidden charges at checkout, everything matched what was discussed. Really glad we handed this one over to someone who knew what they were doing.
