Rajasthan Tour Packages

Travellers have often described Rajasthan as a kaleidoscope of colours and we couldn't agree more. Literally translating to the 'land of the kings', Rajasthan is one of the most visited destinations in India. Scores of tourists travel to this enchanting state to marvel at its gorgeous forts, restored palaces and bustling cities.

Rajasthan tour packages are a wonderful way to explore the state since you can customise Rajasthan packages according to your preferences. Whether you'd like to cover Jaipur, Bikaner and Ajmer or explore the cities of Jodhpur and Jaisalmer – Rajasthan tour packages give you the freedom to choose. Tourism has always been an integral part of Rajasthan; so much so that the rush of tourists feels natural and almost familiar. Visitors will also be taken in by charming locals who usually double up as helpful guides when you are making your way through the maze of forts and palaces.

An important part of medieval Indian history, Rajasthan is a land which promises abundant adventure, culture, craft and art. In fact, its bustling markets are one of the reasons that make Rajasthan so popular with tourists from across the world. From bandhani dupattas, colourful lamps, leather juttis to handmade home decor, meenakari jewellery, camel leather bags and lac bangles – there is tons to take back home.

The lush forests of Ranthambore, the breathtaking sand dunes of Jaisalmer, the temples of Pushkar and the cultural milieu in Jaipur come together to give travellers a trip of a lifetime. Journeying through the various cities of Rajasthan will make it clear why it's one of India's most sought-after destinations and why travellers leave behind a bit of themselves in this soul-stirring state.

All trips to Rajasthan must begin with a visit to its bustling capital. An apt introduction to the vibrant state, Jaipur or the ‘pink city’ is as charming as it is welcoming. Home to majestic forts, grand hotels and small bazaars – Jaipur is gradually becoming a cosmopolitan with the traditional charms of an old town. It’s an ideal weekend destination from the capital city of Delhi and is a perfect start for those who are on a tour of Rajasthan. Rajasthan tour packages include a trip to all of Jaipur’s marvels including Amber Palace, Hawa Mahal, Jantar Mantar, Chokhi Dhani, Nahargarh Fort and Jaigarh Fort. While the 16th century Amber Palace is gorgeous by day, its beauty is even more breathtaking as the sun sets. If your schedule allows, you must include the light and sound show at Amber in your Rajasthan tour packages. Jaipur is also an ideal shopping destination with its lively bazaars including Johari Bazaar for jewellery, Chandpole Bazaar for handicrafts and Hawa Mahal market for small knick-knacks. If, on the other hand, delicious food is what makes your vacation memorable, Jaipur is going to be your favourite place in Rajasthan. Besides the incredibly delicious pyaaz kachori, you must also try laal maas and handi chicken in one of the local restaurants.

Pushkar is another destination which is gradually finding its place in Rajasthan tour packages. Primarily popular as a holy place for Hindus, it is now loved by travellers from across the world for its enthralling bazaars, picturesque ghats, backpacker hostels and an old world charm. Travellers from across the world visit Pushkar during the popular Pushkar Fair which is typically held in December. If you plan to visit Pushkar during the festival, it’s best to book Rajasthan tour packages well in advance since accommodation in the small town tends to get expensive. Located about 15km away from Pushkar is the popular city of Ajmer which is a huge part of Rajasthan tour packages. Known world over for the revered Khwaja Gharib Nawaz or Ajmer Sharif Dargah, Ajmer makes for a great day trip if you are on your way to Pushkar or Jodhpur.

Of course, all Rajasthan tour packages are incomplete without a visit to the Blue City of Jodhpur. Fondly known as the ‘Gateway to Thar’, Jodhpur is most popular for blue-hued houses and the magnificent Mehrangarh Fort. Counted among the largest forts in India, Mehrangarh was built in the year 1459. The fort has served as a backdrop in many Hollywood and Bollywood movies and this is a big reason why it has become a must visit in all Rajasthan tour packages. Jodhpur is also home to the stunning Umaid Bhawan Palace, which has been restored into a hotel and museum besides serving as the residence of the royal family. Head here for a tour of the museum which offers a peek into the bygone era through a rich collection of photographs, paintings and artefacts.
