Day 1
Arrival in Jaipur & Half-Day Sightseeing
Welcome to Rajasthan! Your private driver will greet you at the Jaipur International Airport or Railway Station holding a placard with your name. After loading your luggage into the cool, air-conditioned car, you will be transferred to your pre-booked hotel to freshen up.
In the afternoon, begin your exploration of the "Pink City." You will visit the breathtaking City Palace, a blend of Rajasthani and Mughal architecture that is still home to the royal family. Next, walk over to the Jantar Mantar, an incredibly accurate 18th-century astronomical observatory. End the day with a photo stop outside the iconic Hawa Mahal (Palace of Winds), famous for its hundreds of intricate pink windows. Your driver will drop you back at the hotel for a well-deserved rest.
-
Day 2
Jaipur Forts & Cultural Exploration
After breakfast, your driver will take you to the outskirts of the city to the majestic Amber Fort. Situated on a rugged hill, you can ascend to the fort via an elephant ride or a jeep. Spend a few hours exploring its beautiful courtyards, particularly the Sheesh Mahal (Mirror Palace).
On your way back to the city center, stop to admire the Jal Mahal, a stunning palace seemingly floating in the middle of Man Sagar Lake. In the evening, the car is at your disposal to explore the vibrant local markets like Johari Bazaar and Bapu Bazaar, perfect for buying textiles, blue pottery, and silver jewelry.
-
Day 3
Jaipur to Bikaner (Approx. 330 km / 6 hours)
After an early breakfast, you will check out and begin your road trip towards the desert city of Bikaner. The drive takes you through the changing landscapes of rural Rajasthan.
Upon arrival and checking into your hotel, you will visit the impressive Junagarh Fort. Unlike most forts in Rajasthan, it is not built on a hill but on the desert plains, yet it remains unconquered. Later in the afternoon, your driver will take you to Deshnoke (30 km away) to visit the famous and highly unique Karni Mata Temple, also known as the Rat Temple, where thousands of holy rats are revered and protected. Return to Bikaner for the night.
-
Day 4
Bikaner to Jaisalmer (Approx. 330 km / 6 hours)
Today, you drive deeper into the great Thar Desert. The journey to Jaisalmer is incredibly scenic, with long, straight roads slicing through arid landscapes and scrub forests. Keep an eye out for wild camels and Chinkara (Indian gazelle) along the highway.
You will arrive in Jaisalmer, the "Golden City," by mid-afternoon. The city is named after its stunning yellow sandstone architecture that glows like gold under the desert sun. Check into your hotel, relax, and in the evening, your driver can take you to Gadisar Lake. Enjoy a peaceful sunset boat ride surrounded by temples and shrines before retiring for the night.
-
Day 5
Jaisalmer Sightseeing & Desert Safari
After breakfast, head out to explore the magnificent Jaisalmer Fort (Sonar Quila). This is one of the very few "living forts" in the world, where a quarter of the old city's population still resides inside its walls. Explore the narrow, winding alleys, Jain temples, and the beautifully carved merchant houses known as Patwon Ki Haveli and Nathmal Ki Haveli.
In the late afternoon, your driver will take you to the Sam Sand Dunes, about 40 km from the city. Here, you will leave the car behind and embark on a camel safari to watch a breathtaking sunset over the rolling sand dunes. Enjoy a traditional Rajasthani folk dance and dinner at a desert camp. You can choose to sleep in a luxury desert tent or return to your city hotel.
-
Day 6
Jaisalmer to Jodhpur (Approx. 280 km / 5 hours)
Leave the golden sands behind as you drive towards Jodhpur, the famous "Blue City" of Rajasthan. The drive takes about 5 hours. Upon arrival, check into your hotel and take some time to rest.
In the afternoon, prepare to be amazed by the towering Mehrangarh Fort. Perched on a perpendicular cliff, it is arguably the most spectacular fort in Rajasthan. The audio guide here is excellent. From the fort's ramparts, you get an incredible view of the sea of blue-painted houses below. Just down the road from the fort, visit Jaswant Thada, a beautiful white marble cenotaph built in memory of Maharaja Jaswant Singh II.
-
Day 7
Jodhpur to Udaipur via Ranakpur (Approx. 260 km / 6 hours)
Today's drive is one of the most scenic of the entire trip as you transition from the dry desert into the lush, green Aravalli Hills. En route to Udaipur, you will make a stop at the world-renowned Ranakpur Jain Temple.
Hidden in a wooded valley, this 15th-century marble temple is an architectural masterpiece, featuring 1,444 intricately carved marble pillars, no two of which are identical. After spending an hour here, continue your drive through the winding mountain roads until you reach Udaipur, the "City of Lakes" and the most romantic city in India. Check into your hotel for the evening.
-
Day 8
Udaipur Sightseeing
Wake up in the beautiful city of Udaipur. Start your sightseeing with a visit to the colossal City Palace, the largest palace complex in Rajasthan, which offers panoramic views over Lake Pichola and the city. Next, visit the nearby Jagdish Temple, an imposing Indo-Aryan temple dedicated to Lord Vishnu.
In the afternoon, stroll through the beautiful Saheliyon Ki Bari (Garden of the Maidens), famous for its fountains and marble elephants. As evening approaches, the highlight of the day awaits: a peaceful sunset boat ride on Lake Pichola. Cruise past the iconic Taj Lake Palace and Jag Mandir island as the setting sun paints the sky and water in shades of orange and pink.
-
Day 9
Udaipur to Pushkar (Approx. 280 km / 6 hours)
After breakfast, it is time to leave Udaipur and drive towards the holy town of Pushkar. The drive takes you straight up the national highway.
Pushkar is a small, deeply spiritual town set around a sacred lake. It is completely vegetarian and alcohol-free. Upon arrival, check in to your hotel and then walk down to Pushkar Lake, which is surrounded by 52 bathing ghats. Visit the famous Brahma Temple, which is one of the very few temples in the world dedicated to the Hindu creator god. Spend the evening exploring the vibrant, bohemian markets of Pushkar, which are excellent for buying silver jewelry and bohemian clothing.
-
Day 10
Pushkar to Jaipur & Final Departure (Approx. 140 km / 3 hours)
On your final morning, you can choose to hike up to the Savitri Temple before dawn for a spectacular sunrise view over Pushkar, or simply enjoy a relaxed breakfast.
Later, your driver will begin the final 3-hour journey back to Jaipur. Depending on your onward travel plans, you will be safely dropped off at the Jaipur International Airport, Railway Station, or a hotel in Jaipur.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is the best time of year to take this Rajasthan tour?
The ideal time to visit Rajasthan is during the winter months, from October to March. The weather is sunny, pleasant, and perfect for daytime sightseeing and desert safaris. Summers (April to June) are extremely hot, and while travel is still possible in our AC cars, outdoor sightseeing can be exhausting. The monsoon season (July to September) brings humidity but turns the Aravalli hills beautifully green.
2. How much driving is involved each day?
Rajasthan is a massive state. On travel days (e.g., Jaipur to Bikaner, or Jaisalmer to Jodhpur), you can expect to be in the car for 5 to 6 hours covering 250 to 330 kilometers. However, our itinerary alternates travel days with full sightseeing days, so you aren't stuck in the car every single day.
3. Who pays for the driver's food and accommodation?
You do not need to worry about the driver. Our tour package includes the driver's daily allowance, which covers his food and lodging. Drivers have their own network of roadside dhabas and guesthouses where they rest while you are in your hotel.
4. Do I need to book my own hotels, or do you provide them?
This specific package is for Car and Driver Rental Only, which gives you the ultimate freedom to book hotels that fit your exact budget and taste (from budget hostels to luxury heritage palaces). However, if you prefer a hassle-free experience, we can easily upgrade your package to include 3-star, 4-star, or 5-star hotel accommodations. Just let us know in your inquiry!
5. Is the luggage safe in the car while we are sightseeing?
Yes, completely safe. For example, when you stop at the Ranakpur Jain Temple en route from Jodhpur to Udaipur, your luggage will remain locked in the trunk. The driver stays with the vehicle in the designated parking area at all times to ensure the security of your belongings.
6. Can we customize this 10-day itinerary?
Absolutely! This is a private tour. If you want to skip Bikaner and spend an extra night in the desert, or add Ranthambore National Park for a tiger safari, we can easily tailor the route. Share your ideas with us, and our travel experts will design the perfect custom itinerary for you.
7. Are there clean toilets along the highways?
Yes. Highway infrastructure in Rajasthan has improved dramatically. Our experienced drivers know exactly which midway restaurants, dhabas, and fuel stations have clean, western-style restrooms, and they will purposefully stop at these locations during your journey.
8. Does the driver speak English?
Yes, we provide experienced, English-speaking drivers for all our multi-day tours. While they are not licensed historical guides (who you must hire separately at monuments if you wish), they possess excellent local knowledge and can communicate clearly with international guests.

What Our Travelers Say
Mark & Sarah
London, UK"We booked the 10-day Rajasthan tour for our honeymoon and it was absolutely flawless. Our driver, Vikram, was a superstar. He drove so carefully, which we really appreciated on the busy Indian highways, and always had cold water ready for us. Having the car meant we could stop for photos in the desert whenever we wanted. Best decision we made!"
The Patel Family
New Jersey, USA"Traveling with two kids and elderly parents across Rajasthan seemed daunting, but booking an Innova SUV with this team made it a breeze. The car was spacious, the AC worked perfectly even in the 40-degree heat, and our driver knew the best, cleanest highway restaurants for lunch. Jodhpur and Udaipur were the absolute highlights for us."
Emma Rossi
Rome, Italy"As a solo female traveler, safety was my number one priority. I felt completely safe and respected by my driver for the entire 10 days. He was like a big brother, making sure I didn't get scammed by street vendors and always waiting for me right outside the monuments. The route from Jodhpur to Udaipur through the mountains was breathtaking."
Rajiv Menon
Bangalore, India"I've done road trips before, but hiring a car with driver in Rajasthan is the only way to go. The daily driving distances are long (5-6 hours), and it was so relaxing to just sleep or enjoy the view instead of dealing with the traffic. The pricing was transparent—no hidden toll charges or driver demands at the end. Highly professional service."
