Palace & Fort Trails

₹2830 ₹2699 per person

Meaning “The Land of Kings,” there is no place like Rajasthan if you want a vacation set on a trail full of palaces and forts. Rajasthan is a wonderland for any history buff, architecture junkie, or anyone with an inclination toward how the royals lived (and still do). Covering some of the most cities in this state, this tour will enable you to admire the beauty each of them holds and give you a deep dive into their history, shedding light on their journey so far.

As you embark on one of the most precious journeys you will take, get ready to travel across centuries, going back in time, and experiencing the beauty of what you see today. As a state, Rajasthan has witnessed several major events throughout history, which have shaped it into what it is today.

Flushed with breathtaking palaces and forts, which are not only architectural wonders but also a massive canvas for the magnificent culture and art of the region, Rajasthan is every bit as royal as it claims to be. No wonder the state has not one or two but nine UNESCO World Heritage Sites. And you will visit quite a few of those during this trip, including Jantar Mantar in Jaipur and Jaisalmer Fort in Jaisalmer.

While exciting, covering some of the most pristine sites in Rajasthan in a single tour is equally challenging. Therefore, we have designed the entire trip at a comfortable pace to ensure your enjoyment without exhaustion. To further enhance your experience, we also allow flexible itineraries, where you can change them to suit your comfort best (any additional charges will be charged at actuals)

As the city is well-connected throughout the nation, you can easily get here by air, rail, or road. Once picked up by your driver, you will be transferred to your hotel, where you will check in. After resting, sit out on the exploration, as there is so much to check out.

The day's first stop will be Amer Fort, a popular tourist attraction known for its magnificent architecture, historical significance, and scenic setting overlooking Maota Lake.
Following this, you will visit Nahargarh Fort and Jaigarh Fort. Built in 1734 by Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II, Nahargarh Fort features impressive defensive structures and offers breathtaking views of Jaipur.
Then, you will head to Jaigarh Fort, located near the well-known Cheel ka Teela of the Aravalli Range. This fort provides a stunning vantage point over Amer Fort and Maota Lake.
Jal Mahal, which directly translates to Water Palace, is exactly that: a beautiful palace floating over water. Built right in the middle of a massive body of water, this palace is a sight to behold.

Once you've explored these locations, it's time to conclude your day and head back to your hotel for your overnight stay.

Day 02 – Jaipur Full Day Tour

Jaipur is such a beauty that it's impossible to experience the whole city in one day. Therefore, have a full day continuing the fun and exploring more of Jaipur.

Next, visit the City Palace, the famous residence of Jaipur’s Royal Family, which stands out for its stunning blend of Rajput and Mughal architectural styles.
Your next destination will be Jantar Mantar, a UNESCO World Heritage site celebrated for its visionary astronomical observatory, which featured nineteen instruments built by Rajput king Sawai Jai Singh II in the early 18th century.
Do not miss the Albert Hall Museum, which represents a cultural exchange and shared legacy between the Prince of Wales and the Maharaja of Jaipur.
Gatore Ki Chhatriyan is also a must-visit. It is a royal crematorium site known for its intricately carved cenotaphs, combining Rajput architecture with serene surroundings nestled against the Nahargarh hills.
Lastly, stop at the Jaipur Local Market, where you can buy handicrafts, artifacts, beautiful jewellery, or even traditional clothes, either for yourself or as souvenirs.

Now with a bag full of souvenirs and a heart full of memories, it is time to return to your hotel for your overnight stay.

Once you have reached Udaipur, check into your hotel and step out for a relaxed evening, enjoying the two famous lakes of the City of Lakes:

Nathmal Ki Haveli is an architectural gem built by two architect brothers. It is renowned for its fusion of Rajput and Islamic styles and the richly detailed carvings on its façade.
Salim Singh Ki Haveli, distinguished by its peacock-shaped roof and distinctive structure, reflects the opulence of Jaisalmer’s bygone era and the influential role of the prime minister for whom it was built.
