Rajasthan tour packages, driven at your own pace
Right now, in the monsoon, Rajasthan is the smart trip: Udaipur’s lakes are full, the Aravallis are green and the forts are empty, while the hill roads north of us are unreliable. We drive the whole state, with one car and the same driver from your door, for one all-in fare.

Why now
Rajasthan in the monsoon
Everyone books Rajasthan for the winter and writes off the rains. But July to September is when Lake Pichola brims back to the steps, waterfalls run in the Aravallis, Mount Abu is cool and green, and you can stand in Kumbhalgarh’s ramparts almost alone. The rain comes in bursts and clears; the heat that makes this state hard in May is gone.
It is also a good option if the rain has spoiled your Himachal plan. We drive both — see our Himachal planning guide for that side — and in these particular weeks the plains simply deliver more. Tell us your dates and we will say which we would book ourselves.
What the rains change
- Udaipur’s lakes and the Monsoon Palace at their fullest
- Green Aravalli hills, waterfalls and cool evenings at Mount Abu
- Forts and havelis without the winter tour-bus queues
- Fast, flat highways — no landslide risk, unlike the hill roads
- Off-season hotel rates, so more of the budget goes on the trip
- The one caveat: the far-west desert stays humid — save Jaisalmer for winter

Timing it right
What each season gives you
July – September
The green monsoon south
Udaipur’s lakes fill, the Aravallis around Kumbhalgarh and Mount Abu turn green and waterfalls run. Warm but not brutal, and the forts are near-empty. The best Rajasthan months when Himachal’s hill roads are washing out.
October – March
The classic desert season
Clear, cool days and cold desert nights: the right window for Jaisalmer, the Sam dunes, Jodhpur and the full Jaipur-to-Jaisalmer circuit. Peak season, so cars and rooms want booking a little ahead.
April – June
Hot, but quiet and cheap
The desert west hits 45°C and we would not send a family there. Mount Abu and the hill-side of Udaipur still work, and the crowds and rates drop. This is when we send most travellers to Himachal instead.
Where the trip begins
From your door in the hills, or we meet you in the plains
Most of our Rajasthan trips start at a doorstep in Kangra, Dharamshala or McLeodganj and run the whole way south with one car and one driver, so your luggage never changes hands. If you are flying in, we meet you at Delhi, Chandigarh or Jaipur instead and start from there — it saves two long driving days on either end.
Coming up to Himachal afterwards? We run the same car back — see our Kangra to Delhi and Kangra to Chandigarh runs, or the 6 Devi Darshan yatra if you want the temples on the same trip.
In every Rajasthan fare
- Car, driver, fuel, tolls, parking and state-border permits in one number
- The same owner-driver the whole way — Kapil or Sahil, never a stranger
- Hotels, meals and monument tickets stay your own choice and budget
- The fare is agreed on WhatsApp before you travel
Eleven days, one car, one driver
The full Rajasthan loop
Day 1 — Day 11
The full loop, from which the shorter Rajasthan packages are cut. Start from Kangra and the drive down is part of it; join at Delhi, Chandigarh or Jaipur and it is two days shorter.
- 1
Day 1
Kangra down to the plains
Out of the hills at Una and onto the highway. The unglamorous day that makes the rest possible.
Night: Delhi NCR
- 2
Day 2
On to Jaipur
Into Rajasthan proper. Afternoon at leisure once the driving is done.
Night: Jaipur
- 3
Day 3
Jaipur — the forts
Amber, Jaigarh and Nahargarh above the city; the Hawa Mahal and City Palace within it.
Night: Jaipur
- 4
Day 4
Ajmer and Pushkar
The dargah at Ajmer, then the Brahma temple and the ghats at Pushkar — one of very few Brahma temples anywhere.
Night: Pushkar
- 5
Day 5
Down to Udaipur
South through the Aravallis to the lake city. Long drive, and worth every hour of it.
Night: Udaipur
- 6
Day 6
Udaipur
The City Palace, Lake Pichola and Saheliyon ki Bari. The one place on this loop where people wish they had another day.
Night: Udaipur

Day 7
Ranakpur and Kumbhalgarh
The Jain marble temple with its fourteen hundred carved pillars, then the second-longest fortress wall in the world.
Night: Kumbhalgarh or Jodhpur
- 8
Day 8
Jodhpur
Mehrangarh above the blue town — the best-kept fort in the state and the one worth the most time.
Night: Jodhpur

Day 9
Into the desert
West to Jaisalmer, the living fort, and the Sam dunes for the evening.
Night: Jaisalmer

Day 10
Jaisalmer to Bikaner
Across the Thar. Junagarh fort at the far end, and the camel research farm if that appeals.
Night: Bikaner

Day 11
The long way home
Back through Shekhawati’s painted havelis toward Delhi, or straight on for Kangra.
Shorter versions & season
The season is the whole thing
October to March is Rajasthan. April to June the desert leg is punishing and we would rather move your dates than drive you into it. July to September is the monsoon exception — the southern half is green and empty and it is the best time to see Udaipur, Ranakpur and Kumbhalgarh.
The shorter versions
Jaipur–Pushkar–Ajmer is six days; Jodhpur–Jaisalmer is eight; monsoon Udaipur–Mount Abu is eight. Each has its own page with its own written itinerary.
Joining partway
Plenty of people fly to Delhi or Jaipur and pick the car up there. Same driver from that point on. You are not handed between operators.

Rajasthan questions
Is the monsoon a good time to travel in Rajasthan?
For the south and east of the state (Udaipur, Mount Abu, Kumbhalgarh, Ranakpur, Chittorgarh) the monsoon is one of the best times. July to September fills the lakes, greens the Aravallis, brings the temperature down and empties the forts of crowds. Rain usually comes in short bursts rather than all day. The far-western desert around Jaisalmer stays humid and is better kept for October to March.
Why go to Rajasthan in the monsoon instead of Himachal?
Because July to September is exactly when Himachal is least reliable (landslides, blocked hill roads and views lost in cloud), while Rajasthan in the same weeks is green, open and quiet. We drive both regions from Kangra, so we will tell you which suits your dates.
How many days do you need for a Rajasthan tour?
A short Jaipur, Ajmer and Pushkar trip works in five to six days from Kangra. Udaipur with Mount Abu and Kumbhalgarh takes seven to eight, the Jodhpur–Jaisalmer desert circuit the same, and the full loop from Jaipur through Pushkar, Udaipur, Jodhpur and Jaisalmer runs 11 to 13 days. Joining us at Delhi or Jaipur saves two driving days on any of them.
Can we start the tour from Delhi, Chandigarh or Jaipur instead of Kangra?
Yes. If you are flying or taking a train into Delhi, Chandigarh or Jaipur, we meet you at the airport or station and start the tour there, and we can drop you back at the end or drive you on to Himachal. The itinerary and the pace stay the same; you simply skip the two long days from the hills.
What is included in a Rajasthan tour package?
One all-in fare covers the car, the driver, fuel, tolls, parking and state-border permits for the whole trip. Hotels, your meals and monument entry tickets stay your own choice, so you keep control of the budget. We confirm the exact fare on WhatsApp before you travel.
How much does a Rajasthan trip from Himachal cost?
It depends on the days, the car and how far west you go, so we quote one real all-in figure rather than a sticker price. Send your dates and group and we send the number, usually within the hour, and if you already hold a cheaper written quote for the same trip, send it and we beat it.
Which car do you use for a long Rajasthan drive?
The Toyota Innova Crysta is our usual choice for this route: seven seats, comfortable for elders and easy with a week of luggage. The Maruti Ertiga suits a smaller family, a sedan up to four, and a Force Traveller (12+1 or 17+1) takes a bigger group. All air-conditioned, on commercial tourist-taxi permits valid for interstate travel.
Can a Rajasthan trip be combined with the Devi Darshan or a Himachal tour?
Yes, and it often is. Pilgrims finishing the Kangra-valley Devi Darshan with us frequently continue to Ajmer and Pushkar; others do Rajasthan first and come back up into the hills. Because the same car and the same driver run the whole thing, joining two trips costs the extra days, not a second booking.
