Palaces And Royal Cities on Your Private Rajasthan Tour

As you know, India is so big and diverse that it is not possible to discover the whole country on one trip. Start with one federal state and explore one of the most beautiful corners of India on your private Rajasthan tour.

Rajasthan is the jewel in India's crown with fairytale palaces and majestic forts, colorful festivals and wildlife.

The former royal city of Jaipur is the perfect entry point for your Rajasthan individual tour. The landmark of Jaipur is the pink 'Palace of the Winds' located in the historic old town. Walk through colorful markets past diverse shops full of textiles and utensils. Stop at a small temple and join in the evening prayer with bells and chimes. A short drive away, Amer Fort towers over the city. The colorfully decorated gate and the unique mirror hall will surely delight your heart.

Even more mesmerizing and traditional is the imperial city of Jodhpur, with its blue-tinged old town and Mehrangarh Fort towering over the city. Enjoy unbelievable views from the fortress's 125 meter high towers and gain an insight into the royal lifestyle of the maharajahs. Jodhpur is home to what is arguably the most impressive palace hotel in the world for the ultimate luxury Rajasthan vacation. The golden Umaid Bhawan Palace with its princely rooms, hallways and courtyards is simply unsurpassable, if you want to indulge in the luxury of a bygone era.

Two other royal cities that are a must-visit on your Rajasthan tour are the desert city of Jaisalmer and the city of lakes Udaipur.

The golden citadel of Jaisalmer stands out like a mirage in the Thar desert. The caravan town is home to beautifully carved mansions with their courtyards and balconies. You may also want to take a camel ride in the desert to see how merchants and caravans, gypsies and rulers have conquered the desert for centuries.

The delightful royal city of Udaipur, with its fairy-tale city palace and picturesque lakes surrounded by the rolling hills of the Aravali Mountains, is a complete contrast to the desert. Udaipur is one of the most beautiful cities Rajasthan has to offer, complete with colorful bazaars and winding lanes, palaces and pleasure gardens, lakes and mountain scenery.
