This is our latest video about our 7 Days trip to Rajasthan:
During this visit, We covered 3 colourful cities : Golden City - Jaisalmer, Blue City - Jodhpur and White City - Udaipur.
It was a family budget trip planned during the Christmas week. We planned the entire trip on our own. Since it was a budget trip, we chose Train and Bus as a mode of transport. We also booked the hotels in advance so that we get a better deal.
Sharing our complete 7 day itinerary:
We boarded our train - Bandra Jaisalmer express from Mumbai.There is only 1 train between Mumbai and Jaisalmer and it runs only on Fridays. So, plan you travel accordingly if you are travelling by train.
Day1 :We reached Jaisalmer at 1:00 PM and checked into our hotel Boomerang. After relaxing for some time, we went to explore the local Jaisalmer market and Food street near the fort.
Must try : Dhanraj Ranmal Bhatia sweet shop - Pyaaj ki kachori, Imarti, Ghewar and Ghotua are the standout dishes.
After munching on the tasty snacks, We went to the fort and enjoyed the amazing sunset.
For dinner we went to "1st gate" hotel.This hotel has a roof top restaurant with a perfect fort view.
Day 2: We booked a Desert safari package from our hotel. It costed us Rs 2500 /- per person (a little on the higher side due to christmas) which includes personal to and fro transport between Hotel and Desert camp, Camel ride to desert camp, Jeep safari, Cultural night program and Rajasthani dinner.
