14-Day Rajasthan Tour
Complete Rajasthan Tour: Forts, Deserts and the Taj Mahal
From the golden dunes of Jaisalmer to the marble wonder of Agra, experience the full breadth of royal India.
This Complete Rajasthan Tour spans 14 days across the most storied cities, deserts and palace complexes of northern India, tracing the legacy of the maharajas through living architecture and desert landscapes. Rated easy in difficulty, it is designed for travelers who want depth without physical strain.
The route connects eight major destinations, including Delhi, Mandawa, Bikaner, Jaisalmer, Jodhpur, Udaipur, Jaipur and Agra, each offering a distinct chapter in Rajasthan's long history. You will travel through the Thar Desert, cross the Aravalli Hills and stand before monuments that have defined Indian civilization for centuries.
Guided visits are woven throughout the itinerary, covering Mughal mosques, Rajput fortresses, Jain temples and lakeside palaces. Practical highlights include a rickshaw ride through Old Delhi, a camel excursion at the Sam dunes, a boat ride on Lake Pichola and a jeep ascent to Amber Fort.
The journey concludes at the Taj Mahal in Agra, with time allocated for both a morning visit and an optional sunset return, before the overland transfer back to Delhi for departure.
Tour Highlights
Explore Old Delhi by rickshaw, visiting the 17th-century Jama Masjid mosque, Raj Ghat and the towering Qutub Minar, the tallest brick minaret in the world.
Discover Jaisalmer, the Golden City, with its honeyed sandstone fort, Jain temples and a sunset camel ride across the Sam dunes of the Thar Desert.
Visit the unconquered Junagarh Fort in Bikaner and the commanding Mehrangarh Fort in Jodhpur, two of the most formidable Rajput fortresses in India.
Experience Udaipur's City Palace and enjoy a boat ride on Lake Pichola, passing the island palaces of Jag Mandir and Jag Niwas.
Tour the UNESCO-listed Fatehpur Sikri, a remarkably preserved Mughal capital abandoned in the 16th century, and the ornate stepwell of Chand Baori in Abhaneri.
Stand before the Taj Mahal in Agra at both morning and sunset, and explore the red sandstone Agra Fort with its Mughal pavilions and audience halls.
Pass through Pushkar, one of Hinduism's most sacred pilgrimage cities, and walk the ghats surrounding Pushkar Lake on the route back to Jaipur.
