Where India keeps its royalty — grand forts, lake palaces and the singing sands of the Thar
Rajasthan is India at its most cinematic — honey-coloured forts crowning every hilltop, palaces floating on still lakes, and a desert that turns molten gold at sunset. From the pink lanes of Jaipur to the blue houses of Jodhpur and the living fort of Jaisalmer, this is a land where maharajas once ruled and where their grandeur still lives on in heritage havelis and palace hotels you can actually sleep in.
For a Bangalore family or couple, it is wonderfully easy to reach — a quick 2-hour flight drops you straight into Jaipur, Udaipur or Jodhpur, and from there it is forts, camel safaris, lake cruises and tiger country, all stitched together by good roads. Come in the cool months, slow down, and let Rajasthan show you its royal heart.

Travel tips from our team
- Travel Oct–Mar (Nov–Feb sweetest); skip Apr–Jun when desert towns cross 45°C
- Distances are large — two or three cities at a relaxed pace beats racing everywhere
- Carry layers — winter mornings, evenings and desert nights get cold
- Pack comfortable walking shoes for the fort climbs
- Do the camel safari at sunset or sunrise for the best light
- Bargain politely in the bazaars for block-prints, juttis and silver
Rajasthan, answered
When is the best time to visit Rajasthan?
October to March, cool and pleasant for forts, palaces and the desert (November–February peak). Avoid April to June, when desert towns like Jaisalmer often cross 45°C.
How many days do I need for a Rajasthan trip?
We suggest 6 to 8 nights — six covers a classic Jaipur–Jodhpur–Udaipur circuit, while 7–8 lets you add Jaisalmer and the Thar without rushing the long drives.
Can we do a camel safari and stay in the desert?
Yes — the Sam sand dunes near Jaisalmer are the highlight: a sunset camel ride, Rajasthani folk music and dinner, then a night in a desert camp from simple to luxury tented.
How do we reach Rajasthan from Bangalore?
There are direct flights from Bengaluru to Jaipur, Udaipur and Jodhpur (~2 hours). We plan the circuit so you fly into one city and out of another where possible.
What is included in the package?
Return flights, heritage or 3–4 star hotels, intercity transfers by private car and guided sightseeing. Camel safaris, desert camps, monument entry fees and meals can be added.
