Rajasthan Tours

Rajasthan is one of India's most visited regions, known for its magnificent forts, royal palaces, desert landscapes, historic towns and traditional villages. Once home to powerful Rajput kingdoms and wealthy trading communities, the state has preserved much of its architectural and cultural heritage. Travellers can explore the grand palaces of Jaipur, walk through the blue-painted streets of Jodhpur, visit the sandstone havelis of Jaisalmer and enjoy the lakeside surroundings of Udaipur. Beyond these famous cities, Rajasthan has small villages, historic stepwells, wildlife reserves and former royal residences that offer a closer look at life in this part of India.

At Heritage India Private Tours, we arrange Rajasthan tour packages for international travellers who want to explore the state with a private car and experienced English-speaking driver. Our itineraries cover Rajasthan's major tourist destinations as well as lesser-known towns, rural communities, historic villages and countryside properties. Whether you are planning your first visit to India, a family holiday, a romantic trip or an extended cultural journey, our private Rajasthan tours can be arranged according to your travel dates, preferred accommodation and interests.

Our Rajasthan private tours can begin in Delhi, Jaipur or another suitable arrival city. You can select a classic Rajasthan itinerary, stay in heritage hotels, visit national parks, explore desert villages or combine Rajasthan with the Taj Mahal, Varanasi and other destinations across India. With flexible sightseeing arrangements and comfortable private transport, you can spend more time in the places that interest you rather than following a fixed group schedule.

Explore Our Rajasthan Tour Packages

Rajasthan offers an extensive range of travel experiences, from short holidays covering its best-known cities to longer journeys through historic kingdoms, desert settlements and rural communities. The ideal itinerary depends on your available time, preferred travel pace and the type of places you would like to visit.

Our Rajasthan holiday packages include classic heritage tours, royal palace holidays, luxury journeys, desert experiences, wildlife safaris, cultural tours and customised itineraries for families, couples and small private groups. Travellers can combine famous attractions with traditional villages, craft workshops, local markets and heritage properties that are not usually included in shorter sightseeing programmes.

Many international visitors begin their Rajasthan holiday in Delhi, combining the Taj Mahal in Agra with Jaipur before continuing towards Jodhpur, Udaipur and Jaisalmer. Other travellers prefer to start directly from Jaipur and explore the state in a circular route. Both options can be arranged according to your international flights and preferred destinations.

Best Places to Visit on a Rajasthan Tour

Jaipur – The Pink City and Gateway to Rajasthan

Jaipur is one of the most important destinations included in Rajasthan tour packages. Founded in 1727 by Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II, the city is known for its historic architecture, royal palaces, traditional markets and carefully planned old city.

Amber Fort, situated on a hill overlooking Maota Lake, is among Jaipur's most impressive attractions. The fort contains grand courtyards, royal apartments, decorative gateways and the famous Sheesh Mahal. Other important monuments include City Palace, Jantar Mantar, Hawa Mahal, Nahargarh Fort and Jaigarh Fort.

Jaipur is also known for traditional handicrafts, including block-printed fabrics, gemstones, jewellery, blue pottery and carpets. Visitors can explore Johari Bazaar, Bapu Bazaar and local workshops to learn about crafts that have been practised in the city for generations.

Travellers with additional time can visit nearby villages, historic temples and countryside properties. Jaipur is also a convenient starting point for private Rajasthan tours because it has an international airport and good road connections with Delhi, Agra and other Rajasthan destinations.

Udaipur – Lakes, Royal Palaces and Heritage Hotels

Udaipur is one of Rajasthan's most attractive cities, situated among the Aravalli Hills and surrounded by historic lakes, gardens and royal buildings. Often called the City of Lakes, Udaipur is particularly popular with couples, photographers and travellers interested in luxury heritage accommodation.

The City Palace complex overlooks Lake Pichola and contains courtyards, balconies, museums and royal apartments. Visitors can also explore Jagdish Temple, Saheliyon Ki Bari, Bagore Ki Haveli and the traditional streets around the old city.

A boat ride on Lake Pichola offers views of the City Palace, Jag Mandir and the surrounding hills. Udaipur is also known for miniature paintings, traditional crafts, rooftop restaurants and historic havelis that have been converted into boutique hotels.

Many of our luxury Rajasthan tours include additional nights in Udaipur, allowing travellers to enjoy the city's atmosphere without rushing between attractions. Nearby destinations such as Eklingji, Nagda, Kumbhalgarh and Ranakpur can also be included according to the itinerary.

Jodhpur – Mehrangarh Fort and the Blue City

Jodhpur is one of Rajasthan's most distinctive cities, known for Mehrangarh Fort, blue-painted houses, traditional markets and its location on the edge of the Thar Desert.

Mehrangarh Fort rises above the old city and contains royal apartments, courtyards, museums and impressive collections of historic objects. From its ramparts, visitors can enjoy views across the surrounding blue neighbourhoods.

Other attractions include Jaswant Thada, Umaid Bhawan Palace Museum, the Clock Tower and Sardar Market. The narrow streets around the old city contain traditional houses, local shops and small businesses that provide an interesting contrast to the grand architecture of the fort.

Jodhpur is also an excellent base for exploring rural Rajasthan. Visitors can arrange excursions to Bishnoi villages, traditional craft communities and nearby countryside settlements. These experiences are particularly suitable for travellers interested in local culture, photography and village life.

Jaisalmer – Golden Fort, Desert Villages and Sand Dunes

Jaisalmer is situated in western Rajasthan near the Thar Desert and is famous for its golden sandstone architecture, historic fort and desert surroundings.

Jaisalmer Fort is one of the city's most important landmarks. Unlike many other forts in Rajasthan, parts of the fort remain inhabited, with houses, shops, temples and guesthouses within its walls. Visitors can explore narrow lanes, Jain temples and traditional buildings that reflect the city's history as a trading centre.

Patwon Ki Haveli, Nathmal Ki Haveli and Salim Singh Ki Haveli are known for their detailed stone carvings and elaborate façades. Gadisar Lake is another popular attraction, particularly during the cooler hours of the day.

Desert excursions are an important part of many Rajasthan desert tour packages. Travellers can visit the sand dunes around Sam or Khuri, enjoy camel rides or jeep excursions, and stay in selected desert camps. Depending on the arrangements, evenings may include traditional music and cultural performances.

For travellers interested in quieter desert experiences, itineraries can include smaller settlements and countryside stays away from the busiest tourist areas.

Bikaner – Junagarh Fort and Traditional Desert Culture

Bikaner is an important historic city in northern Rajasthan and a rewarding destination for travellers who want to explore beyond the most frequently visited tourist routes.

Junagarh Fort is the city's principal attraction, containing richly decorated palaces, courtyards and museum collections. Unlike many Rajasthan forts, Junagarh was built on relatively flat ground rather than a hilltop.

The old city is known for its narrow streets, historic havelis, temples and traditional food. Bikaner is also associated with camel breeding and desert culture.

Travellers can include Bikaner as part of a longer route connecting Mandawa, Jaisalmer and Jodhpur. It is particularly suitable for visitors interested in architecture, traditional markets and the history of Rajasthan's former princely states.

Pushkar and Ajmer – Sacred Temples, Lakes and Local Traditions

Pushkar is a small town situated beside a sacred lake and surrounded by hills. It is known for its Brahma Temple, religious ghats, traditional markets and annual camel fair.

Visitors can walk through the town's narrow streets, explore local shops and observe religious activities around Pushkar Lake. The town has a relaxed atmosphere compared with Rajasthan's larger cities and is a popular stop between Jaipur, Jodhpur and Udaipur.

Nearby Ajmer is home to Ajmer Sharif Dargah, an important Sufi pilgrimage site visited by people from different religious backgrounds.

Pushkar and Ajmer can be included in cultural Rajasthan itineraries, particularly for travellers interested in religious traditions, local markets and smaller historic towns.

Mandawa and Shekhawati – Painted Havelis and Merchant Heritage

The Shekhawati region of Rajasthan is known for its elaborately painted havelis, many of which were built by wealthy merchant families during the 18th and 19th centuries.

Mandawa, Nawalgarh and surrounding towns contain historic mansions decorated with colourful frescoes depicting religious stories, daily life, animals and scenes influenced by changing social and commercial traditions.

The region is particularly interesting for architecture enthusiasts, photographers and travellers who enjoy exploring smaller towns. Some historic havelis have been restored as heritage hotels, providing accommodation in traditional buildings.

Our Rajasthan heritage tour packages can include Shekhawati as an early stop when travelling from Delhi towards Bikaner and western Rajasthan.

Rajasthan Forts and Palaces Tour Packages

Rajasthan's forts and palaces are among the strongest reasons international visitors choose to travel through the state. Many were built by Rajput rulers over several centuries and reflect different architectural styles, military requirements and royal traditions.

Amber Fort in Jaipur, Mehrangarh Fort in Jodhpur, Jaisalmer Fort, Chittorgarh Fort and Kumbhalgarh Fort are some of the most important historic fortifications. Each has a different history, from hilltop defensive structures and royal residences to large fortified settlements.

Rajasthan also contains magnificent palaces such as City Palace in Jaipur, City Palace in Udaipur and Umaid Bhawan Palace in Jodhpur. Some royal properties continue to serve as residences, while others operate as museums or heritage hotels.

Our Rajasthan forts and palaces tours can be planned with professional local guides who explain the architecture, historical events and royal families associated with each monument. Travellers who have a particular interest in history can spend additional time at selected forts, museums and historic towns rather than following a hurried sightseeing programme.

Rural Rajasthan and Offbeat Village Tours

Beyond the major tourist cities, Rajasthan has hundreds of traditional villages and small towns where farming, handicrafts, local festivals and community traditions remain important parts of everyday life.

Our rural Rajasthan tour packages can include destinations such as Narlai, Deogarh, Shahpura, Rohet and selected villages around Jodhpur and Udaipur. These areas offer opportunities to stay in countryside heritage properties, explore local markets, visit traditional workshops and experience a quieter side of Rajasthan.

Travellers may see pottery making, textile weaving, block printing and other crafts, depending on the places visited and local arrangements. Village excursions can also provide opportunities to learn about traditional houses, agricultural practices and regional food.

Some rural itineraries include countryside walks, jeep excursions, visits to historic stepwells and meals prepared using local recipes. Experiences are arranged according to availability and the interests of the travellers, with consideration for the privacy and daily lives of local residents.

These tours are particularly suitable for repeat visitors to India, photographers and travellers who want to spend more time away from crowded tourist attractions.

Luxury Rajasthan Tours with Palace and Heritage Hotels

Rajasthan is one of India's leading destinations for luxury heritage holidays. Many former royal residences, historic havelis and countryside estates have been converted into hotels, allowing visitors to stay in buildings associated with the state's princely past.

Our luxury Rajasthan tour packages can include accommodation at selected Taj, Oberoi and other premium hotels, subject to availability and your preferred budget. Jaipur, Udaipur, Jodhpur and Ranthambore offer a particularly good selection of luxury properties.

Travellers can choose from palace hotels, five-star resorts, boutique heritage accommodation and premium wildlife lodges. Depending on the itinerary, arrangements may include private sightseeing guides, premium vehicles, special dining experiences and additional leisure time.

Luxury holidays can also be planned around special occasions such as honeymoons, anniversaries and family celebrations. Rather than changing hotels every night, travellers can spend several nights in selected properties and enjoy the facilities alongside sightseeing.

For visitors who prefer traditional architecture and personal hospitality, smaller heritage hotels can also be an excellent alternative to large luxury resorts.

Rajasthan Wildlife Tours and Ranthambore Tiger Safaris

Rajasthan is not only known for historic monuments and desert landscapes. The state also contains national parks, wildlife sanctuaries and important bird habitats.

Ranthambore National Park is one of the most popular wildlife destinations included in Rajasthan tour packages with tiger safari. Situated near Sawai Madhopur, the park is known for Bengal tigers, leopards, deer, crocodiles and numerous bird species.

Wildlife safaris are conducted in designated zones and must be booked according to park regulations. Morning and afternoon drives are available during operating periods, although schedules and zone access vary seasonally. Tiger sightings cannot be guaranteed.

Other wildlife destinations may include Keoladeo National Park at Bharatpur, famous for birdwatching, and selected wildlife reserves or countryside areas depending on the route.

Travellers interested in wildlife photography may prefer additional nights near a national park to allow time for multiple safari drives.

Rajasthan Tour Packages with Taj Mahal and Golden Triangle

Many international travellers combine Rajasthan with Delhi and Agra to visit the Taj Mahal before exploring the royal cities of Rajasthan.

A typical Rajasthan tour from Delhi may begin with sightseeing in the capital, followed by Agra and the Taj Mahal, before continuing to Jaipur. From Jaipur, travellers can explore Pushkar, Jodhpur, Udaipur, Jaisalmer and other destinations according to the number of days available.

This combination is particularly popular with first-time visitors because it includes some of India's most important Mughal and Rajput monuments within one holiday.

Longer journeys can also include Ranthambore, Varanasi, Khajuraho, Mumbai, Goa or other destinations. Domestic flights or train journeys can be included when distances make road travel less practical.

Our customised Rajasthan itineraries allow travellers to choose the route that best suits their international arrival and departure arrangements.

Rajasthan Tour Packages for Families, Couples, Women and Senior Travellers

Private Rajasthan holidays can be arranged for different types of travellers, with sightseeing schedules and accommodation selected according to individual requirements.

Families with children may enjoy visiting forts, exploring traditional markets, taking countryside excursions and staying in hotels with swimming pools. Wildlife safaris and desert activities can also be included when suitable for the children's ages.

Couples often choose Udaipur, Jaipur, Jodhpur and heritage countryside properties for romantic holidays. Luxury palace hotels, lake views and additional leisure time can be incorporated into honeymoon and anniversary itineraries.

Women travelling alone or in small groups may prefer private transport, carefully selected hotels and pre-arranged sightseeing. Our itineraries can be planned around these preferences, with clear arrangements for transfers and local activities.

Senior travellers may prefer shorter driving days, fewer hotel changes, accessible accommodation where available and a relaxed sightseeing schedule. Rajasthan's major attractions often involve steps, uneven surfaces and walking, so the daily programme can be adjusted to individual mobility requirements.

We can also arrange private tours for friends, multigenerational families and LGBTQ+ travellers seeking a personalised itinerary with accommodation and travel arrangements suited to their preferences.

Rajasthan Tour Packages with Private Car and Driver

Travelling around Rajasthan by private car is one of the most practical ways to visit several destinations during the same holiday. Although major cities have rail and road connections, many rural properties, historic villages and smaller attractions are more conveniently reached by private transport.

Our Rajasthan tour packages with private car and driver include comfortable air-conditioned vehicles selected according to your group size and luggage requirements. Options can include sedans, Toyota Innova Crysta, larger group vehicles and premium cars for luxury holidays.

A private driver handles intercity journeys, agreed sightseeing transfers and hotel pickups, allowing you to travel without arranging separate transport in each destination. It also provides flexibility for breaks, photographs and stops at places of interest along the route.

For example, a journey between Jodhpur and Udaipur can include Ranakpur Jain Temple, while routes through rural Rajasthan may include traditional villages, historic stepwells and countryside restaurants.

Our drivers are familiar with established Rajasthan tourist routes and can assist with practical travel arrangements. Local sightseeing guides can be arranged separately for detailed information about monuments and regional history.

How Many Days Are Needed for a Rajasthan Tour?

The ideal duration of a Rajasthan holiday depends on the number of destinations you want to visit and the pace at which you prefer to travel.

A 6 to 8-day Rajasthan tour can cover a selection of major cities such as Jaipur, Jodhpur and Udaipur. Travellers with 10 to 14 days can include additional destinations such as Jaisalmer, Pushkar, Bikaner or Ranthambore.

For visitors who want to explore Rajasthan in greater depth, a journey of 15 to 21 days allows time for smaller towns, rural heritage stays, desert excursions, wildlife experiences and additional nights in major cities.

Driving distances are an important consideration. Some Rajasthan destinations are several hours apart, and a well-planned itinerary should include sufficient time for sightseeing and rest rather than requiring long road journeys every day.

Best Time to Visit Rajasthan

The most popular time to visit Rajasthan is from October to March, when temperatures are generally more comfortable for sightseeing, desert excursions and outdoor activities.

November to February is particularly popular with international visitors. Days are often pleasant, although mornings and evenings can be cold in desert regions such as Jaisalmer and Bikaner.

March and early April can also be suitable for travel, but temperatures begin to rise. During May and June, many parts of Rajasthan experience extreme heat, making early sightseeing and suitable accommodation especially important.

The monsoon season generally occurs between July and September. Some areas, particularly Udaipur and the Aravalli region, become greener during this period, although rainfall may affect outdoor activities and road conditions.

Travellers planning to visit during major festivals, Christmas, New Year or the winter holiday season should book preferred heritage and luxury hotels well in advance.
