Kolkata to Jaipur, Arrival in the Pink City

Board the early-morning IndiGo nonstop from Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose International Airport, landing at Jaipur before 9 AM. A Memorable India representative meets you at arrivals and completes a smooth transfer to your hotel in the C-Scheme or Bani Park area. Check-in, freshen up, and take the morning to rest after the pre-dawn departure. Post lunch, head out for a light introductory walk through Johri Bazaar and the Hawa Mahal facade for photographs. If energy permits, catch the evening Aarti at Govind Dev Ji Temple, a working shrine adjacent to the City Palace complex that most tour groups skip. Return to the hotel for dinner and rest. Overnight in Jaipur.

Jaipur, Amber Fort and City Palace

After breakfast, drive to Amber Fort, arriving by 8:30 AM to beat the tour-bus rush. Cover Sheesh Mahal, Ganesh Pol, and Diwan-i-Aam with your licensed guide, and consider the Jeep ascent for elderly travellers instead of the elephant ride. Descend by mid-morning, stop at Jal Mahal on the return for photographs, and head to Jantar Mantar and City Palace after lunch. The evening slot is kept free for either the Chokhi Dhani cultural village or the Anokhi Museum of Hand Printing, depending on interest. Return to the hotel by 8:30 PM for dinner. Overnight in Jaipur.

Jaipur to Pushkar to Jodhpur

Early breakfast and check-out. Drive out at 8 AM toward Pushkar, a 3-hour transfer via NH-48. Arrive at the Brahma Temple, spend an hour at the ghats and the main bazaar, and take a light lunch at a rooftop cafe near the lake. Continue on to Jodhpur, a further 4.5-hour drive, arriving by early evening. Check into a heritage haveli or business hotel per your booked category. Freshen up and take an optional evening walk through Sardar Market near the clock tower, followed by a rooftop dinner with a view of the illuminated Mehrangarh Fort. Overnight in Jodhpur.

Jodhpur, Mehrangarh and the Blue City

Post breakfast, drive up to Mehrangarh Fort, one of the largest surviving fort structures in India. Cover the palace museum, the weapons gallery, and the cannon terrace with sweeping views of the blue-painted old city below. Descend to Jaswant Thada, the white marble cenotaph, and stop at the family memorial gardens. After lunch, a guided walk through Navchokiya, the blue residential quarter, is included, with a stop at a local block-print workshop. The evening is free for shopping at Sardar Market for bandhani textiles, mojari juttis, and traditional silverware. Overnight in Jodhpur.

Jodhpur to Jaisalmer

After breakfast, begin the 285-km westward drive to Jaisalmer, roughly 5.5 hours with a lunch break at Pokhran. The landscape turns arid past Balesar, with the first sand-drift sightings around Chandan. Arrive in Jaisalmer by late afternoon, check in, and rest. The evening is kept free for an unhurried walk to Gadisar Lake for sunset views, followed by a rooftop dinner at a cafe overlooking the fort. This day is deliberately light on activity to conserve energy for the Sam Sand Dunes excursion the following evening. Overnight in Jaisalmer.

Jaisalmer, Fort, Havelis, and Sam Sand Dunes

The morning is given to Jaisalmer Fort, a living fort where families still reside within the ramparts, along with the intricately carved Jain temples inside. Continue to Patwon ki Haveli and Salim Singh ki Haveli for their sandstone facades. Return to the hotel for lunch and a short rest. Late afternoon, drive out to Sam Sand Dunes, 42 km west of the city, for a camel or jeep safari, a folk music and dance performance around the campfire, and a Rajasthani vegetarian buffet at the desert camp. Return to the hotel by 10:30 PM. Overnight in Jaisalmer.

Jaisalmer to Udaipur

This is the longest travel day of the circuit. Options include a morning flight from Jaisalmer to Udaipur via a Jodhpur or Delhi layover (approximately 6 to 7 hours end to end) or a chartered coach transfer split across the day with a lunch stop at Sanderao. Most travellers on our rajasthan tour package from kolkata prefer the flight option to preserve energy for the Udaipur segment. Arrive in Udaipur by evening, check into your lake-view or heritage property, and enjoy a quiet dinner at the hotel. Overnight in Udaipur.

Udaipur, City Palace and Lake Pichola

Post breakfast, visit the City Palace complex, including the Crystal Gallery and the museum wings, with a licensed local guide. Break for lunch at a rooftop restaurant overlooking Lake Pichola. In the afternoon, take the shared boat ride on the lake covering Jag Mandir island, timed for the soft late-afternoon light. The evening is free for the Bagore ki Haveli cultural show at the ghat, a one-hour folk performance with Rajasthani puppet theatre, kalbelia dance, and ghoomar. Return to the hotel for dinner. Overnight in Udaipur.

Udaipur, Ranakpur and Kumbhalgarh Excursion

Full-day excursion to the Ranakpur Jain Temple, 90 km from Udaipur, one of the finest examples of marble craftsmanship in western India. The temple opens to non-Jain visitors between 12 PM and 5 PM, so the visit is timed accordingly. Combine with a stop at Kumbhalgarh Fort, whose 36-km perimeter wall is often cited as second only to the Great Wall of China in length. Lunch is taken at a resort near the fort. Return to Udaipur by 7 PM for a final Rajasthani thali dinner at a heritage courtyard restaurant. Overnight in Udaipur.

Udaipur to Kolkata, Departure

Post-breakfast transfer to Udaipur airport for the return flight to Kolkata via a Delhi or Mumbai layover, since no nonstop currently operates on the UDR-CCU sector. Depending on the departure slot, a short stop at Sahelion ki Bari, the ornamental garden of the ladies-in-waiting, or Shilpgram, the rural arts and crafts complex, is added ahead of the airport transfer. Land back in Kolkata by evening. This concludes the rajasthan trip package from kolkata.
