About the Tour

Rustic Rajasthan is our handcrafted signature trip that has all the adventures perfectly knitted together to offer a wide variety of experiences from the destination. Staying in Swiss Camps in the middle of sand dunes, gazing at the starry sky, adventuring a camel ride, fancying a cultural evening full of traditional Rajasthani dance and music in full royal style, or staying in a laidback Jodhpuri village in a boutique traditional resort while relishing homemade food or staying in a Heritage Hotel where Royal Family still lives – this trip as all!

Udaipur, the city of lakes, is one of the most beautiful destinations in India that offers a perfect combination of scenic beauty, history, and culture. It’s tucked in Girwa Valley and surrounded by seven stunning lakes. A boat ride through the serene waters of Lake Pichola is enough to steal our hearts forever as it closely shows us the impeccable beauty of Jagmandir Mahal and Lake Palace. Both of them are constructed on the islands in the middle of Lake Pichola. Sunrises and sunsets are a real visual experience during any trip to Udaipur.

Did you know that Udaipur was labeled as ‘the most romantic spot on the subcontinent of India’ by a British administrator named James Tod in 1889? It’s also called ‘Venice of East’.  It definitely lives up to this name, isn’t it? 

Apart from lakes, Udaipur has fairy-tale palaces, epic forts, museums, mesmerizing temples, gardens, havelis, crooked, narrow & timeless streets, vibrant bazaars, spicy food, art & crafts, dances, and a lot more which makes it a place to be visited again and again by tourists.

Just a few kilometers from Udaipur lies another jewel of the Mewar region, the city of Chittorgarh. It is home to the largest fort in India, and the most magnificent fort in Rajasthan. Chittorgarh is the epitome of Rajputana bravery, pride & passion.  We all know from the movie ‘Padmaavat’ that how Mughal ruler Alauddin Khilji massively attacked Chittorgarh to abduct Queen Padmini.

Did you know that the Chittorgarh fort had 84 water bodies inside it out of which 22 are still alive?

The architectural intricacy, the grandeur and the magnificence of the fort, the hilltop location, and the tall walls and Jharokhe of the fort romancing against water make it a visual treat for our eyes and the soul!

On the other side of Udaipur, Kumbhalgarh and Ranakpur are the captivating gems of the Mewar region.

Do you know which place has the largest wall after the Great Wall of China? It’s none other than our very own Kumbhalgarh Fort.

Kumbhalgarh Fort is the second largest fort in India after the Chittorgarh fort. It’s strategically cradled in the wilderness of Aravali Ranges to make it inaccessible and hostile to enemies. Ranakpur Jain temple is the biggest and one of the most stunning Jain temples in India. The whole temple complex is supported by 1444 marble pillars, no two pillars are alike. Ranakpur Jain temple is indeed an architectural marvel where you can find such intricate marble carvings and scriptures that you might get a crick in the neck while looking at them.

How about joining hands and exploring this gorgeous Mewar region together?

Trip Highlights

Your Itinerary

Pickup points: Jaisalmer Railway Station (10:30 AM) and Jaisalmer Airport (11 AM departure)

Note:
1. If you are not able to find suitable flights from your city to Jaisalmer on Day 1, you can consider coming a day early and we can assist you with logistics.

2. Group Leader will depart from Delhi by train a day before the trip starts and reach Jaisalmer early in the morning. If you want to join the group leader on the train journey from Delhi to Jaisalmer, let us know. But it would depend on the availability of train tickets.

3. Alternatively, if you feel that arriving in Jodhpur instead of Jaisalmer is more efficient and cost-effective for you, then we can have you picked up from Jodhpur without any additional charge because our tour vehicle will come from Jodhpur only. But it would be early morning.

4. We recommend everyone either to have a heavy breakfast on Day 1 or pack some fruits/snacks for munching. We are going to traverse through a remote area to visit Desert Camp while visiting Kuldhara Village and Khaba Fort in between. There are no proper eating joints on the way. Hence, there won’t be an option of breaking for lunch. By the time we reach Desert Camp, it would be time for Camel Ride.
