Itinerary
Arrival in Jaisalmer & Desert Welcome
Arrive in Jaisalmer (by train/flight/road). Meet & transfer to your hotel. Spend the afternoon at leisure exploring the local market. In the evening, transfer to Sam Sand Dunes for a quintessential desert experience — enjoy a camel safari during sunset, followed by a traditional Rajasthani cultural program around a bonfire with local folk music and dinner.
Tip: Carry a light shawl for desert evenings; temperatures can drop after sunset.
Jaisalmer Heritage & Fort Exploration
Full day sightseeing of the golden city. Visit the imposing Jaisalmer Fort (Sonar Qila) and wander through its bustling lanes. Explore ornate Patwon Ki Haveli, Salim Singh Ki Haveli, and the ancient Jain temples within the fort. Later, relax at Gadisar Lake and browse local handicrafts and textiles in the bazaars.
Special note: The fort is a living fort with homes and shops — respect local privacy while photographing.
Drive to Jodhpur via Scenic Route
After breakfast, check out and drive to Jodhpur (approx. 5–6 hours). En route you may opt for a short stop at Osian (ancient temples) or scenic desert hamlets. Arrive in Jodhpur and check into your hotel. Evening at leisure — stroll around the Clock Tower Bazaar to taste local snacks and shop for spices and handicrafts.
Tip: Keep water and sun protection handy during drives.
Jodhpur Forts & Palace Tour
Explore the blue city. Visit the towering Mehrangarh Fort, enjoy panoramic views of Jodhpur, and explore the museum inside the fort. Walk to Jaswant Thada — a beautiful marble cenotaph — and visit the grandeur of Umaid Bhawan Palace (museum & exterior views). Evening free for local shopping or optional heritage dinner.
Highlights: Mehrangarh Fort museum, panoramic ramparts, local shops at Sardar Market.
Drive to Udaipur with Ranakpur Stop
After breakfast, depart for Udaipur (approx. 4–5 hours). On the way, visit the spectacular Ranakpur Jain Temples (famous for intricate marble architecture) or choose the Kumbhalgarh Fort option (longer drive, powerful fort walls and vistas). Arrive in Udaipur by evening and check in to your hotel located near the lakeside.
Optional: Kumbhalgarh day trip for families who prefer forts to temples — requires early departure.
Udaipur City Palace & Lake Pichola Cruise
Begin your Udaipur experience with a visit to the majestic City Palace complex, exploring museums, courtyards and terraces. Walk to Jagdish Temple and later enjoy a relaxing boat cruise on Lake Pichola to view the Jag Mandir islands and the splendid lakeside palaces. Capture sunset views from the water — a highlight of the tour.
Tip: Evening boat rides are popular; book in advance during peak season (Oct–Mar).
Kumbhalgarh Excursion or Local Udaipur Leisure
Choose between:
- Day trip to Kumbhalgarh Fort (UNESCO-style fortress with long walls and panoramic views) — great for families who enjoy forts and light treks.
- Or a relaxed Udaipur day covering Saheliyon Ki Bari, Bhartiya Lok Kala Museum, and leisure time by the lake; enjoy Rajasthani cuisine at a rooftop restaurant in the evening.
Special note: Kumbhalgarh involves moderate walking; comfortable shoes recommended.
Heritage Walk, Monsoon Palace & Departure
Morning heritage walk through old Udaipur lanes, visit local artisan shops and the colourful markets. Later, visit the Monsoon Palace (Sajjangarh) for sweeping sunset views over the Aravalli hills and lakes. Transfer to Udaipur airport / railway station for onward journey.

Rajasthan Itinerary Built Over Two Phone Calls
We had a rough idea of what we wanted — Jaipur, Jodhpur, maybe Udaipur — but no clue how to connect it all. Got on a call with the TourGrids team, told them our budget and that we're a couple who prefers heritage properties over regular hotels. They came back within a day with a proper customised plan, not some copy-paste itinerary. We went back and forth a couple of times over WhatsApp, tweaked a few things, and it was locked in. No hidden charges, everything was clearly explained upfront. The hotels they picked in Rajasthan were genuinely good choices. Planning something this detailed usually stresses me out — this time it just didn't.
Rajasthan With a Company We Had Never Tried
My husband and I were genuinely nervous handing over the full planning to someone we'd never booked with before. But from the first WhatsApp conversation, the coordinator was patient, clear, and never pushy. The Rajasthan itinerary covered Jaipur, Jodhpur, and Udaipur at a pace that actually felt like a holiday, not a race. Hotels were proper good — clean, well-located, and exactly what was shown to us. Cabs were always on time and drivers were decent. No hidden charges at checkout, which honestly surprised me the most. Every question I had before the trip was sorted on call within the day. Trusting a new company felt risky going in — it really wasn't.
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.
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.
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.
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.
