This trip is only for exploring heritage Rajasthan, Shopping, Eating Local Food, Visiting Palaces, Museums, Walking on the history lanes.
And at the end of the trip I am sure you will be like I have seen all that I could see in Rajasthan.
I had done this trip ...But had missed Bundi Town. So If you are running short of time.....Then you can Ignore Towns like Bundi & Kumbhalgarh.
I recommend you not to miss any of these towns, since it would be nearly difficult for you to plan these two towns separately ..so Take that extra 2-3 days and Visit it all.
You can add TWO more days If you wish to Visit Ajmer & Pushkar. (Same can be done in one day though) and One day for Ranthambore.
2000kms and 2 weeks and when you go back home I am sure you would have walked through the Rich Culture of Rajasthan in the best possible way...have seen enough of war relics.... had sumptuous Rajasthani Food....done enough Rajasthani Handicrafts...seen enough Camels...Sand Dunes...
This trip will leave you with one question.....which place next....????
