17 Top Tourist Places to Visit in Rajasthan

Don't Miss These Classic Rajasthan Destinations

tourism details of rajasthan

Rajasthan is one of the most visited states in India. It's not surprising because it shows India at its most colorful, iconic and exotic best. Most of the things that come to mind when you think of India can be found in Rajasthan—palaces, forts, desert, camels, and elephants. Don't miss visiting these top tourist places in Rajasthan.

The "Pink City" of Jaipur forms part of India's renowned Golden Triangle Tourist Circuit and was recently declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Not surprisingly, the city is one of Rajasthan's most popular tourist destinations. It has many famous forts and palaces, with most of them boasting evocative views and elaborate architecture. Staying in Jaipur is particularly enjoyable. Accommodations are reasonably priced and many have been converted from heritage properties, giving guests a very regal experience! Jaipur is an outstanding place to go shopping too.

Udaipur is often said to be the most romantic city in India, as it's filled with expansive lakes and palaces. The landmark City Palace Complex , which stretches along the eastern shore of Lake Pichola, dominates the city and the royal family still lives in part of it. Many personal royal heirlooms, family photos, and other memorabilia are displayed in the City Palace Museum , giving Udaipur a very regal feel. You can even stay in the City Palace! Alternatively, for those on a budget there are heritage hotels by the lake with amazing views, such as the Jagat Niwas Palace hotel.

Explore the places to visit near Udaipur such as mighty Kumbhalgarh and Chittorgarh forts.

Affectionately called the "Blue City" because of its blue painted buildings, Jodhpur is the second largest city in Rajasthan. The walled old part of the city is presided over by Mehrangarh Fort , which provides the best outlook across Jodhpur's blue buildings. It's one of the largest and best maintained forts in India. Inside are a number of ornate palaces, a museum, and restaurant. There many inexpensive yet characterful places to stay in Jodhpur with views of the fort. It's refreshing to do nothing but relax on their rooftops and soak up the atmosphere.

Bishnoi is a community of nature worshipers only 45 minutes or so from Jodhpur and can be covered in a day trip. Bishnoi Village Safari organizes excursions and accommodations.

A remarkable sandstone city that rises magically from the sand dunes of the Thar desert, Jaisalmer looks like it's straight out of an Arabian Nights fable. Its mesmerizing ancient fort, built in 1156, is perched high on a pedestal overlooking the city. Inside the fort is alive and spellbinding. It boasts palaces, several temples, and some elegant havelis (mansions), as well as shops and other residences. These top things to do in Jaisalmer cover the best of the city and its surroundings. Stay at a hotel with a fort view or a desert camp.

If you're keen for a desert camel safari experience but without the crowds and commercialization, Osian is an ideal alternative option. This small town is about an hour and a half north of Jodhpur, on the way to Bikaner, and is surrounded by several sand dunes. Intricately carved stone temples dating back to the 8th century are interesting too. Stay at Osian Sand Dunes Resort and Camp or Reggie's Camel Camp .

For most of the year, Pushkar is a sleepy little holy town that attracts a lot of backpackers and hippie types. However, it really comes alive for a couple of weeks in October or November, when the Pushkar Camel Fair hits town. Pushkar is worth visiting at any time of year if you want to chill out. Sadly, the town isn't like it used to be though. These days, Pushkar is much more westernized and tourist-focused. The priests by the bathing ghats (steps) are very forceful in demanding donations. Avoid that area, and head to the Pushkar market for some fun shopping instead!

The remote and quaint desert town of Bikaner receives less tourists than many other prominent destinations in Rajasthan because of its out-of-the-way location over five hours north of Jodhpur. The main attractions are the atmospheric walled Old City and fort. Bikaner is renowned for the rather startling Karni Mata rat temple nearby as well. The Karni Mata Festival, held to worship the rats there, is one of the quirkiest festivals in India. A Camel Fair also happens in Bikaner every January. Stay at the exceptional Narendra Bhawan heritage hotel for an unforgettable trip! It's one of India's most beautifully restored heritage hotels.

Nagaur lies about half-way between Jodhpur and Bikaner, making the town a convenient destination to break your journey. Its massive 12th century fort, Ahhichatragarh, has been restored to its former glory by the Mehrangarh Museum Trust and won the UNESCO Asia-Pacific Heritage Award for Culture Heritage Conservation in 2002. The fort hosts the World Sacred Spirit Festival in February each year. The Nagaur Cattle Fair -- touted as the second largest in India -- is an added annual attraction in January or February.

Shekhawati Region

If you're an art lover, or even someone who's into architecture and history, the Shekhawati region of Rajasthan is well worth including on your itinerary. This unique region is often referred to as the world's largest open air art gallery, with old havelis (mansions) having walls adorned with intricate painted frescoes. Staying in one is a highlight! Shekhawati is located in the Delhi-Jaipur-Bikaner triangle, and is refreshingly free of tourists!

Pali Region

Rural tourism is growing in Rajasthan and the Pali district, between Jodhpur and Udaipur, is perfect for visitors who want to explore Rajasthan beyond its cities. Bera is one of the top destinations there due to the prevalence of wild leopards, which roam the rugged terrain and can be spotted on safari. At Jojawar, the 300 year-old Rajput fort has been converted into a heritage hotel and draws visitors. Kesar Bagh is a luxury option there. Chanoud Garh is another 300 year-old fort-palace turned exquisite heritage hotel in the Pali district. However, it doesn't get anymore out-of-this-world than stunning Lakshman Sagar heritage hotel. Alternatively, Culture Aangan has homestays in Pali. You'll find village life to be fascinating. You can even attend a shepherds' morning opium meet!

Although increasingly popular with travelers, Bundi also often gets overlooked as a tourist destination in Rajasthan due to its off-the-beaten path location between Jaipur and Udaipur. It's a captivating place to visit, with its lakes, temples, markets, miniature paintings, and blue houses similar to Jodhpur. This relatively laid-back town is dominated by the extraordinary and imposing Bundi Palace, which protrudes out of the hillside. The ancient, winding lanes of the Old City are fascinating to wander through. Bundi also has around 50 step wells and a ramshackle fort above the palace.

Kota and Chambal

Less than an hour southeast of Bundi, Rajasthan's third largest city -- Kota -- sits alongside the Chambal River. Once you've seen its palaces, temples and museums head out to explore the National Chambal Sanctuary and take a boat ride along the river. It's home to rare wildlife such as the gharial (a long-snouted, fish-eating crocodile) and Gangetic river dolphin. Bhainsrorgarh Fort boutique heritage hotel was once a royal abode and has an enviable position atop the cliff. The view is breathtaking! Plus, the 9th century Badoli Temples are nearby. Kota is famous for its Dussehra festival and fair in October.

Ranthambore National Park

Ranthambore National Park is one of the best places in India to spot a tiger in the wild. In contrast to many national parks in India, Ranthambore is also really accessible and easy to get to. This makes it very popular (and, unfortunately, it's been facing a lot of tourist pressure). As well as nature, the park is home to the formidable 10th century Ranthambore Fort. It's a huge structure that contains ruined pavilions, monuments, and three Hindu temples. The park is packed with history, having witnessed many battles played out on its land, and the rise and fall of many rulers.

If driving from Agra (or Bharatpur) to Ranthambore, consider stopping at Karauli and staying at isolated Ramathra Fort heritage hotel on the way.

Birding enthusiasts will be delighted by Keoladeo Ghana National Park in Bharatpur, just over an hour east of Agra on the way to Jaipur. One of India's top bird sanctuaries for bird watching and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, it was formerly a duck hunting reserve of the maharajas. More than 370 species of birds can be found there, including a large congregation of non-migratory resident breeding birds.

Also on the Agra-Jaipur Road, Abhaneri has the deepest and possibly the most photographed step well in India . Chand Baori was built between the 8th and 9th centuries by King Chanda of the Nikumbh dynasty of Rajputs. However, locals will tell you a more spookier story of it being constructed in one night by ghosts! The step well extends approximately 100 feet into the ground, down 3,500 steps and 13 levels. A two-day Abhaneri festival takes place every year in September against the evocative backdrop of Chand Baori to promote rural tourism.

Interested in more forts and palaces? Alwar can be done on a day trip from Delhi , as it's only three hours south of India's capital. Attractions include an 18th century City Palace complex and government museum (closed Mondays) inside it, which showcases the extravagant lifestyle of the kings. However, it's Lake Sagar and the many chhatris (dome-shaped pavilions) behind the City Palace that are most visually impressive monuments. Above the City Palace sits 16th century Bala Quila, notable for being one of a few forts in Rajasthan to be built before the rise of the Mughals.

Another popular sidetrip from Delhi, Neemrana was the third capital of the descendants of Prithviraj Chauhan III, king of the Rajput Chauhan dynasty. It's located in Rajasthan's Aravalli Hills, about two and a half hours southwest of Delhi on the Delhi-Jaipur Highway. The main attractions there are rambling 15th century Neemrana Fort Palace hotel perched on the side of the hill overlooking town, and zip-lining .

Mount Abu is the only hill station in Rajasthan. It's situated 4,000 feet (1,220 meters) above sea level near the Gujarat border, about three hours (160km) from Udaipur. The British took a liking to Mount Abu because of its comfortable climate, and they relocated the headquarters of their political Rajputana Agency there from Ajmer in 1857. Mount Abu has a reputation as a honeymooner's haven but Indian families flock to the area as well. However, it remains an offbeat destination for foreigners. These top things to do in Mount Abu are centered around enjoying the great outdoors.

An Honest Rajasthan Travel Guide: What to See & What to Skip

This post may contain affiliate links. This just means I may receive a small commission at no extra cost to you for helping them promote their product or service. I don’t endorse any services I don’t personally use or recommend.

This Rajasthan travel guide is the “need to know info” without all the fluff. Rajasthan is the most visited state in India and therefore one of the most written-about travel destinations in the world. Even people spending a week in India (an absolutely wild endeavor) choose to explore Rajasthan 9 times out of 10. 

The truth is…not everything is worth your time and money in Rajasthan. With every single city boasting ancient forts, a handful of temples, and trinket markets your day-to-day can get monotonous and slowly it all starts to blur together.

Obviously, this post is filled with my own personal opinions— but objectively some forts are just prettier than others. Traveling in Rajasthan should be about *experiencing* (and eating) not just seeing and photographing. Your time WILL NOT be best spent seeing everything there is to see in Rajasthan. It’s easy to get sucked into a huge to-do list of sights in each city because most blog posts outline everything you could possibly do rather than telling you what they think is actually worth it . 

People who love Rajasthan often see less — not more. 

Man walking down the street in india near a cow pulling a cart.

The purpose of this quick Rajasthan travel guide is to help you determine what to see and what to skip. Because your time in India is limited and there are so many more regions you could add to your itinerary. 

Rajasthan Travel Guide: What to See + What to Skip

For easy digestion— I’ll go city by city starting with Udaipur. This is the closest destination to Mumbai (one of the main International Airports in India). But if you’re coming from Delhi, you’ll do these destinations in the reverse order. 

The one thing missing from this Rajasthan Travel Guide is where to eat! I actually wrote an entirely separate “ Best Places to Eat in Rajasthan ” post. I included a few really exceptional or unique eats on this Rajasthan travel guide but hit that post for all the rest!

Udaipur (See) 

This is the cleanest, calmest, and most relaxing version of India. Udaipur is the city that even those who hate India can love. That doesn’t mean it’s clean or quiet by any means, it is still India after all, but it’s a beginner-level India that’s comfortable enough for all solo women and new travelers. 

Temperatures are mild here, unlike the vast desert regions of Rajasthan, and that makes wandering the many lakes and palaces the city is known for easy. Udaipur’s biggest flaw is its food scene. Or lack thereof. You have to really depart from the trodden tourist areas here to get any kind of culinary experience.

Udaipur “Wow” factor: 10/10

Ideal Number of Days in Udaipur: 3 days 

Important things to consider for udaipur.

  • Udaipur is a great place to shop. Places to choose from are plentiful and the vendors are much more reasonable and willing to haggle. 
  • Rooftops are a big deal in Udaipur. The city is best viewed from a roof near the main lake — or within the old city. I highly recommend you choose a hotel with a rooftop restaurant to enhance your experience in the city. My favorite mornings were spent with a scenic sunrise breakfast.

Must See Destinations in Udaipur

Sunrise or sunset destinations: royal cenotaphs & bahubadi hills. .

Both these destinations require a rickshaw ride. 

The Royal Cenotaphs are technically closed to the public. But for a small bribe the guard who is always there is more than happy to open the gate for you. This is very typical in India. Here are a few other places you should make a point to visit during your stay.

  • City Palace 
  • Jagdish Temple 
  • Wander across the bridges near the ghats to the other side of the city.

Getting from Udaipur to Jodhpur 

Bus is the only option and you can expect it to take around 5.5 hours.

Booking transportation in India is a NIGHTMARE. It’s my single least favorite thing about the country. I started using 12.goAsia for buses just so I wouldn’t have to deal with all the touts overinflating the price. Definitely read my Beginner’s Guide to India for more tips on booking buses and trains within the country.

Jodhpur (See) 

The “not-so-blue-city”. If you’re visiting because of the bright blue Instagram shots the city is famous for, you’re probably gonna be disappointed. But if you’re visiting to enjoy incredible views of one of the most impressive forts in Rajasthan, savor a truly ancient city with great street food, and relax at a scenic stepwell then maybe Jodhpur is for you!

Jodhpur “Wow” factor: 9/10 

Ideal number of days in jodhpur: 2 days .

Obviously, a few extra days in the city would allow you to spend some time relaxing and uncover some hidden gems in this sprawling Indian city. But this is just a general guide for those on a time crunch in India.

Important Things to Consider for Jodhpur

  • Choose a place to stay with rooftop views of the fort. This is one of the best parts of the city. 
  • The city is not all that blue outside one small corner. If you’re hoping for blue then you should book a stay at the very simple but comfortable and cheap Cosy Guesthouse. 
  • You’ll have to haggle at an expert level here. It’s not an ideal place for rickshaw rides or shopping. 
  • It is most definitely the desert. This means you’ll want to do most exploring in the morning and evening when temps are low. 

Inside of the Amber Fort

Must Visit Destinations in Jodhpur 

  • Clocktower Market in the evening. Just be prepared for chaos. 
  • Toorji Ka Jhalra Stepwell. It’s empty early morning. But midday people sometimes leap from the high point into the well. 
  • Mehrangarh Fort. This is one of the most impressive forts in Rajasthan and is definitely on my must-see list. 

Sunrise or sunset destinations:  Photography Point for Sunrise (technically closed to visitors— but I have a blog for that ).

Potential skip destinations in jodhpur.

  • Jaswant Thada. If you do my semi-illegal sunrise hike (linked above and below) you’ll see it from the best view. The inside is not all that impressive. 
  • Pachiaga Hill sunrise point. Again not as good as my spot but a decent alternative if you aren’t up for a sneaky adventure. 
  • Mandore Gardens. It’s a bit far out of town and the “gardens” are really just some ancient-looking temples. It’s very pretty and a great place to see LOTS of Hanuman Langurs up close if that interests you. 

My biggest disappointment about Jodhpur and honestly, much of Rajasthan, was the amount of sewage and trash everywhere. Sanitation is basically at 1800s levels. I suppose when you visit 500-year-old cities that’s to be expected, but it’s still worth noting.

How to get from Jodhpur to Jaisalmer 

Bus or Train (bus is cheaper). A/C is probably a must since you’re going between deserts. The journey will take at least 6 hours. If you want to book a train you can use my Beginner’s Guide to Travel in India. (*Coming Soon*)

Jaisalmer (Skip) 

Jaisalmer is where I began to distrust many of my fellow bloggers in India. A quick Google of the city returned countless 2-3 day itineraries and glowing reviews of the golden city. But I was disappointed shortly after arrival. 

Jaisalmer is a tiny desert city near the border of Pakistan. Its main attractions are the camel safaris into the semi-nearby Thar desert and the large “living fort” in the center of the town. We have been blessed to experience camel rides and one of the most impressive deserts in the world during a recent trip to Wadi Rum, Jordan . Based on the shaggy scrubland desert of India filled with sickly-looking camels and garbage…we assumed we would be let down by a “safari”. Most of these tours include visits to local villages and song/dance performances at camp that we were not keen to participate in. So, we skipped it. And I don’t regret that. That left us to explore the town of Jaisalmer itself. But there is very little of any value or cultural significance here. 

Why we didn’t love the city…

The fort is little more than one giant tourist market. It does have people living in it, yes, but I have never seen more group tours and pushy trinket shops in one small area than in Jaisalmer. The “Jain temple” requires a 250 rupee entrance fee which after visiting the holy city of Palitana (home to the most impressive and stunning Jain temples in India) I was immediately suspicious of. When the “holy men” inside were seen sweeping up insects and not wearing the traditional Jain monk attire of white robes, I suspected this was not a functional temple and these weren’t devout Jain followers. When each one then asked for “donation” in a demanding and expectant way and put the money directly into their pocket…this theory was confirmed. Jaisalmer was overall a huge letdown. Yes, the fort is pretty and gold. But that’s not worth the massive detour required to reach the city. 

If you are not going to do a camel safari to sleep overnight in the desert, I do not recommend adding the city to your itinerary. Also, you’ll find better camel experiences in other parts of the world—both ethically and scenically. 

Jaisalmer “Wow” factor: 4/10 

Ideal number of days in jaisalmer: 0 days , getting from….

Jaisalmer to Bikaner

If you found yourself in Jaisalmer…

Jodhpur to Bikaner

If you take my advice and skip Jaisalmer…

Bikaner (See) 

Considered by many travelers to be “off the beaten track,” Bikaner is often left off visitor’s itineraries. Admittedly, it doesn’t have a wide array of attractions but the few that it does have are unique enough to warrant a visit. 

Another perk of Bikaner is it is small. It’s quiet. The streets are decidedly less chaotic than other Rajasthan destinations. It’s a good place to take a breather. 

Bikaner “Wow” factor: 7/10

Ideal Number of Days in Bikaner: 1-2 days 

Must-see attractions in bikaner .

These 4 attractions are truly unique in Bikaner. They make the small city well worth visiting. 

  • Rampuria Havelli.  A stunning red Haveli on narrow streets.
  • Seth Bhandasar Jain Temple.  A very cool Jain temple with a foundation made of Ghee. (You can’t see it, just smell it.)
  • ICAR Camel Center. 
  • Shree Karni Mataji Temple (Rat Temple).  It’s exactly as it sounds. A little gross, but so interesting.
  • Tanvi Cafe. This restaurant inside a family home is definitely worth a mention and was my favorite place to eat in Bikaner.

What to Skip in Bikaner 

  • Junagarh Fort. It’s just not as impressive as the other forts of Rajasthan for the price. 

Where to Stay in Bikaner: The Prince Haveli (Walk-ups Welcome)

Getting from bikaner to pushkar.

This route is best serviced by bus. Transport options between the two destinations are limited.

Pushkar (See or Swap with Bundi) 

A placid lakeside holy city, Pushkar is another *maybe* for most itineraries. From what I can tell it has two purposes and one truly worthwhile attraction. For starters, Pushkar is one of the best places to purchase souvenirs. The entire city is basically one long street crowded with local shops charging some of the lowest prices in Rajasthan. We bought rings for $3, a thick woven shawl for $6, and a brightly colored pashmina for $6. The other reason to visit is the laid-back atmosphere. It’s a small town and has far less traffic than even other small cities on this list like Bikaner. 

Holy lake in pushkar

I think the main reason most of us like Pushkar is that it offers a scenic place to relax in Rajasthan with pretty lake views. 

Pushkar “Wow” Factor: 7/10

Ideal number of days in pushkar: 2 days , important things to consider in pushkar .

  • Don’t accept any offerings from “holy men” by the lake. They are trying to extort money from you. If they follow you to the water just tell them you aren’t going to pay them and they will disappear rapidly. 
  • There is no meat or alcohol allowed in the city limits. It’s a holy city.
  • You’ll have to take your shoes off within 30 feet of the lake. Again— holy city = holy lake. 

Guesthouse of Choice in Pushkar

Hotel rising star..

Not only was the room comfortable, the food home-cooked and affordable, it was also close to the local bus station and walkable to everything in town. 

Must See Attractions in Pushkar 

Sunset or sunrise: savitri devi temple..

This was the only attraction we loved in Pushkar. You can either walk the staircase to the summit for free for panoramic sunset views or ride the ropeway for 150 rupees (ticket for both ways), which is about $1.80 at this time. We rode it up and walked down because we were feeling lazy. There are loads of monkeys at the top but they didn’t seem too concerned with people. It’s also less than a mile from town so it’s another lovely walk. No rickshaw needed.

What to Skip in Pushkar

I mean, if you’re here maybe you don’t have to skip it BUT I would not label any of these things as “must-see”. 

  • Brahma Temple. Pretty underwhelming. But I understand it is one of the only temples dedicated to Brahma. 

Getting From Pushkar to Jaipur

This one is a short ride (for India) and is easily done on a bus.

Bundi (See or Swap with Pushkar) 

Bundi is another remote, lakeside, slow-moving destination. It’s big perk— VERY few visitors. Consider it a little like Pushkar without all the tourist markets. It has some beautiful old temples and it’s much greener than the rest of Rajasthan. 

We chose Pushkar over Bundi for our Rajasthan travel guide although I feel that either place is a great addition to your itinerary. But you *probably* don’t need to visit both. 

Bundi “Wow” Factor: 7/10

Ideal number of days in bundi: 2 days .

Since I haven’t personally visited Bundi, I’m going to leave the recommendations to other blogs.

Jaipur (See) 

Jaipur is like Delhi in that it is such an astronomically huge city you would be a fool to pretend you know the best places to eat and visit after a week-long stay. And most people stay far less than that. Known as the “pink city” although again — keep in mind this is really just referencing a very small historic neighborhood of the mega-city, Jaipur is a must-see on most travelers’ list because there are many things to do in the area. It is part of the Golden Triangle of India. 

The backside of Amber fort in Jaipur

But just because there are a lot of sights doesn’t mean they are worthwhile to visit and shell out the cash. In fact, Jaipur is the perfect example of why you should pick and choose your attractions rather than committing to seeing everything. 

Where to Stay in Jaipur

One thing is 100% certain though. You NEED to stay at Home of the World Guesthouse. It is one of the best guesthouses we have ever stayed at. The host is the warmest most helpful man in India. You get free chai, free family-style breakfast, lunch, and dinner AND it’s a really friendly communal atmosphere, unlike most guesthouses with private rooms. We met the best people there. Including the family who runs the place. I can’t recommend it highly enough. Sometimes they aren’t taking reservations on booking.com but feel free to book them on other sites like Agoda.

Luxury Stay + Day Trip in Jaipur

My other BIG suggestion if you have the budget for it— go visit Dera Amer Wilderness Camp for a luxury overnight glamping stay or a quick walk/lunch at their elephant sanctuary. It’s a great way to support happy elephant lives, see some elephants, and enjoy the serene nature of the 180-acre property. It was my favorite thing we did in Jaipur.

Jaipur City “Wow” Factor: 7/10

If you visit dera amer : 10/10 , ideal number of days in jaipur: 2-3 days , important things to know for jaipur .

  • It’s the most expensive city on this list. 
  • It’s also known for the most scams in Rajasthan. 
  • You DO NOT want to stay inside the pink city portion of the city. It’s way too chaotic and loud to actually get any sleep. 
  • You do however want to stay in the northeastern-ish portion of Jaipur because the city is massive and attractions are so far apart. Home of the world was in the perfect position. 

Must see in Jaipur 

  • Hawa Mahal. Lives up to the hype and gives you a chance to see the true pink portion of the city. We didn’t pay to go inside, just stood on the street and looked at it. 
  • Amer Fort/Amber Fort. But only from the outside. It’s set on the hillside and really impressive but the inside is totally abandoned and empty. A real disappointment after paying 500 rupees. This is also where they offer elephant rides and have all the sad captive elephants. Please don’t support that. 
  • Do hike up to the wall behind it for the best sunset view, however. You can get up onto the wall near the stepwell. Specifically at Kheri Gate. Just climb on top and follow the wall up the mountain.
  • Raj Mandir Cinema for a real Bollywood film. 
  • Dera Amer Wilderness Camp.
  • Patricka Gate. Just go early in the morning before the crowds. 
  • The Little Coffee Shop. This became a favorite spot of ours and the coffee is exceptionally good. Not the cheapest at $2 a latte — but totally worth it for those of you missing real coffee at this point. 

I highly recommend joining the Home of the World day tour if you want to see *all* the sights in Jaipur. It’s 1,500 rupees per person (~$18) and unless you plan on taking 5 days and 1-hour bus rides to each place in Jaipur you won’t save much by doing it yourself. You’ll also have the added context of explanations and get to make friends with people at the guesthouse. I don’t recommend tours unless I know they are going to be great. Home of the world tours are. They also have cooking classes if that’s more your thing. 

Hawa Mahal front in Jaipur

Places in Jaipur to Skip

  • Monkey Temple or Galta Ji Temple.  It’s expensive, far away, poorly maintained and the monkeys are mean to each other. 
  • City Palace. The one in Udaipur is more impressive. If you aren’t going to Udaipur then consider it. 
  • Going inside Amber Fort. Horrible. Not worth it. 
  • Museums. Unless that’s your thing. 
  • Block Printing Factory. People will try to get you to go here. It’s a scam.

Getting From Jaipur to Agra

You can easily take a train from Jaipur to Agra (and yes, you want to visit Agra before Delhi). But if you do want to take a bus that you can book online…

Rajasthan Travel Guide: My Recommended Itinerary 

Rajasthan is in no way my favorite part of India. But it is an important historical region that most travelers cannot pass up. I’m not advocating anyone skip Rajasthan, just that they limit the time spent in the region since it’s mostly chaotic cities. I think most travelers can get away with this quick 12-ish day itinerary before moving on to other regions. 

3 days in Udaipur, 2 days in Jodhpur, 2 days in Bikaner, 2 days in Pushkar, 3 days in Jaipur.

Those who have more time and love cities ( this is really the key here ) feel free to add more.

Overall, I spent nearly 2 months in Rajasthan and I am NOT a city person. The reason I tell travelers that they should opt for a quick trip to Rajasthan (or as quickly as possible) is because the trash-filled crowded cities of India can leave you feeling jaded very quickly. India is an incredible destination. There’s nowhere else like it in the world. But it’s also an overwhelming destination for those not accustomed to the sheer volume.

Places to see in Rajasthan

So, let’s start with the best places to see in Rajasthan in 1 or 2 weeks! From the astonishing Hawa Mahal in Jaipur to the photogenic blue houses of Jodhpur, Rajasthan offers an abundance of beautiful sights!

*Included on 7 and 14-day itinerary

Hawa Mahal beautiful landmarks in India

Both of these itineraries start with two days in Jaipur , the capital of Rajasthan and India’s so-called Pink City . Jaipur is easily reachable from Delhi by train, the ride takes about 4 to 5 hours.

Here, you will find some spectacular sights like the marvellous Hawa Mahal , the enormous Amer Fort , the beautiful Monkey Temple and the colourful Patrika Gate .

Jaipur is also one of the stops on the popular Golden Triangle tourist route , which connects the Pink City to Delhi and Agra (where you will find the Taj Mahal).

With its beautiful palaces, forts and temples, this is a city that cannot be missed on any Rajasthan itinerary!

🛕 Highlights of Jaipur

  • Hawa Mahal: This stunning palace is famous for its 953 windows. These were used by the royal women, who could not appear in public. They used to peek out of the windows to catch a glimpse of everyday life.
  • Amer Fort: This is my favourite fort in Rajasthan! It was built by Raja Man Singh in the 16th century and you will find some pretty impressive architecture within its walls. One of its most famous sights is the Sheesh Mahal , which is often called the “Glass Palace”.
  • City Palace: Built in 1727, the City Palace is the place where the Maharaja reigned until 1949. You will find some beautiful courtyards, gates and rooms inside.
  • Jantar Mantar : Located right across the street from the City Palace, Jantar Mantar is an ancient astronomical observatory that’s worth visiting as well.
  • Patrika Gate: This colourful gate was built in 2016 and serves as an entrance to Jawahar Circle Garden. It’s one of the most photogenic places in Jaipur so don’t forget to bring your camera when you visit it!

The gats of Pushkar, India

The next stop for both of these itineraries will be Pushkar – one of my favourite places in India. This is one of Rajasthan’s oldest cities and also one of its holiest ones, making it one of India’s top cultural destinations .

Pushkar is located by the holy Pushkar Lake, which is surrounded by numerous ghats . Apart from the lake and ghats, some of Pushkar’s most famous sights are the Brahma Temple , the Pap Mochani Temple and the Savitri Temple . The last two are located on top of a hill and they offer a magnificent view over Pushkar.

It’s believed that Pushkar Lake was created when Lord Brahma vanquished the demon Vajranash using a lotus flower. When this flower fell to the ground, it created Pushkar Lake. Today, the city is an important pilgrimage site for Hindus.

🛕 Highlights of Pushkar

  • Ghats: Strolling along the ghats by the holy Pushkar lake is one of the best things to do in Pushkar. You will see that rituals and offerings happen here regularly.
  • Brahma Temple: Being a holy city, Pushkar is home to many temples, but the Brahma Temple is the most important one. It’s located close to the lake and it’s one of the few temples dedicated to Brahma.
  • Pap Mochani Temple: It’s a short hike up a hill to get to this temple, and you will be rewarded with a spectacular view over Pushkar once you reach the top!
  • Savitri Temple: To reach the top of this hill, you can either take the cable car or hike and once again, you will be rewarded with an amazing view over Pushkar.
  • Gurudwara Sahib : This famous Sikh temple was built in 1549 after Guru Nanak Dev visited Pushkar. It’s a stunning white temple that’s definitely worth seeing.

Blue house with green windows in Jodhpur

Jodhpur is the second-largest city in Rajasthan and another one of my favourite cities in India! It’s dubbed the Blue City because of its many blue houses that make the city incredibly photogenic.

But there is more to Jodhpur than the blue houses alone!

This city is also home to the enormous Mehrangarh Fort , which was built by the founder of Jodhpur in the 15th century and overlooks the blue city. Just a 15-minute walk from here, you will find Jaswant Thada – a beautiful memorial that was built in memory of Maharaja Jaswant Singhjill and is made entirely out of white marble.

Other things you cannot miss on a visit to Jodhpur are the Toorji Ka Jhalra stepwell , Pachetia   Hill for sunset and the Clock Tower and Sardar Market – which are the heart of the city.

🛕 Highlights of Jodhpur

  • Blue Houses: One of the best things to do in Jodhpur is to stroll around the old town in search of the beautiful blue houses .
  • Mehrangarh Fort : Built by Rao Jodha, the founder of Jodhpur, in 1459, this incredible fort is Jodhpur’s most famous landmark. It’s quite spectacular, to say the least, and it overlooks the blue city.
  • Jaswant Thada : Just a 15-minute walk from the fort, this beautiful memorial consists entirely of white marble. It was built in memory of Maharaja Jaswant Singhjill.
  • Toorji Ka Jhalra Stepwell : Rajasthan is famous for its step wells and this one is very easy to reach, as it’s located in the middle of Jodhpur. The Toorji Ka Jhalra Stepwell used to be the main source of water for the city.
  • Pachetia   Hill : Pachetia Hill overlooks the blue city and it’s the best place to watch the sunset over the blue houses.
  • Clock Tower and Sardar Market : This is the heart of the old city. It’s a nice area to stroll around, shop at the market and drink a delicious lassi.

Lake Pichola in Udaipur

After visiting the blue city, it’s time to head to Udaipur – the City of Lakes or the Venice of the East . This city is often dubbed India’s most romantic city and it’s easy to understand why!

Udaipur is famous for its mesmerizing lakes, floating palaces, beautiful temples and stunning viewpoints. It’s also a great place to relax on one of the many rooftop terraces.

There are many great things to do in Udaipur, from soaking up the atmosphere at the ghats of Lake Pichola to visiting the City Palace and the beautiful Ahar Cenotaphs . If you’re a sucker for beautiful viewpoints, you will want to take the Mansapurna Karni Mata Ropeway too. This ropeway will bring you to the Sri Karni Mata Temple, which offers a spectacular view of the city.

Udaipur is also famous for hosting the Dharohar Dance Show  at Lok Dharohar Haveli . This is said to be the most spectacular traditional Rajasthani dance show in all of Rajasthan!

🛕 Highlights of Udaipur

  • Jagdish Temple: This Hindu Temple’s architecture is stunning! You will find numerous statues of elephants, horsemen, musicians and dancers on its beautiful facades.
  • Lake Pichola and Ghats: Strolling along Lake Pichola while enjoying the view is one of the best things to do in Udaipur. Make sure not to miss Gangaur Ghat and Ambrai Ghat while you’re there.
  • City Palace: Constructed in 1553, the City Palace of Udaipur is the largest royal complex in the state of Rajasthan. You will find stunning palaces and halls inside!
  • Mansapurna Karni Mata Ropeway : This cable car ride will take you to Machhala Hill, from where you will have a spectacular view over Udaipur.
  • Ahar Cenotaphs : These empty tombs are a unique place to visit in Udaipur. They’re a must-see for history buffs and lovers of architecture.
  • Dharohar Dance Show at Bagore Ki Haveli : A spectacular show with Rajasthani dance performances and a puppet show.

*Included on 14-day Rajasthan itinerary

Rajasthan itinerary Jaisalmer Fort

If you have two weeks in Rajasthan, then it’s time to head to Jaisalmer next. This small desert city is located northwest of Rajasthan, not so far from the border with Pakistan.

Jaisalmer is home to India’s only living fort , where you will find plenty of beautiful Havelis. You will also find the peaceful Gadisar Lake here, which used to be the city’s only water source.

What Jaisalmer is most famous for, however, is its desert safaris . Although I did enjoy the desert safari, it’s good to know that the Thar Desert only has small sets of dunes and most parts are scrubs.

This being said, I still think checking out the Thar Desert is worth it! Just don’t expect it to be all sand dunes as this is not the case.

If you’re looking for a good agency to book a desert safari (because believe me, there are many and they’re not all good), I can recommend Trotters Jaisalmer . I went on an overnight desert safari with them and it was amazing! We were a small group of three people and there was no one else in the set of dunes they brought us to.

🛕 Highlights of Jaisalmer

  • Jaisalmer Fort: This living fort is full of beautiful temples and golden Havelis . You will also find multiple viewpoints from where you can watch the sunset here.
  • Gadisar Lake: This lake was built around the 12th-13th by the first king of Jaisalmer. It’s a peaceful place that’s surrounded by ghats and shrines.
  • Bada Bagh: Here, you will find the funerary cenotaphs (empty tombs) that were built to commemorate the royalty of Jaisalmer. They’re beautiful pieces of architecture that are very common in the north of India.
  • Desert safari: Spending a night in the desert dunes is an amazing experience that you won’t forget! Don’t be afraid to ask around before booking a tour though, as there are plenty of operators and they all claim to be the best. I booked my tour with Trotters Jaisalmer and can recommend them.

*Included on 14-day itinerary

Rat Temple in Bikaner, Rajasthan

The last stop on the 14-day Rajasthan itinerary is Bikaner, a city that is most famous for its proximity to the unique Karni Mata Temple  or the Rat Temple . In order to reach this temple, you will have to take the local bus to Deshnok, which is 30 km (18.6 mi) from Bikaner.

As you might have guessed, what makes the Karni Mata Temple so special is that it’s full of rats. In fact, it’s the only temple in the world that worships rats! Over 25,000 black rats and a few white ones live within its doors. It’s considered good luck if you can spot one of the white ones, as these are considered the incarnations of the Hindu deity Karni Mata and her sons.

But why rats? I hear you ask.

Well, there are two legends associated with why rats are being worshipped at the Karni Mata Temple:

  • The rats are soldiers who deserted a nearby battle. Although this was punishable by death, Karni Mata decided to spare them and turned them into rats instead.
  • When one of the sons of Karni Mata’s sister drowned, Karni Mata begged Yama, the god of death, to bring him back. Yama told her this would interfere with the cycle of birth and death but told her he could reincarnate all the family’s sons as rats. Karni Mata then promised the rats would serve at her temple forever.

Although we can’t be certain which of these legends led to the creation of the Rat Temple, one thing is certain – bringing a visit to India’s Karni Mata Temple will be an unforgettable experience! This is one of the most unusual landmarks in Rajasthan .

🛕 Highlights of Bikaner (besides the Rat Temple)

  • Junagarh Fort: This beautiful fort was constructed by Raja Rai Singh in the 16th century. You will find stunning palaces, courtyards, pavilions and balconies inside.
  • Rampuria Haveli: Rampuria Haveli was constructed in the 15th century for the wealthy merchant family with the same name. Although you cannot visit it on the inside, the outside alone is worth checking out and there are some other beautiful Havelis on the same street.

Best time to visit Rajasthan

The best time to visit Rajasthan is during the winter months, from October to February . At this time of the year, the temperature won’t be too high.

It’s not recommended to visit Rajasthan during the summer months, which are from April to June. It will be scorching hot at this time of the year with temperatures rising up to 48°C.

Rajasthan can also be visited during the monsoon season, from July to September. This is the time of the year that I visited the state. There’s no denying that there is rain during the monsoon (and that it’s still quite hot) but it doesn’t rain every day. Overall, I think the monsoon season is a good time to visit Rajasthan if you want to travel outside of the peak season.

How to get around in Rajasthan

There are multiple ways to get around Rajasthan, depending on where you’re going. Trains and tourist buses are perfect for longer distances, while local buses and rickshaws are great for short distances.

  • Train : Rajasthan’s major cities are well connected by train. This is an easy and reliable way to get around the state. Note that there are many different types of trains in India , so make sure to do some research in advance.
  • Bus : Another easy way to get around Rajasthan is by taking the bus. There are plenty of local buses for short distances and tourist buses for longer distances.
  • Private driver : The most comfortable way to get around is by taxi or private transportation but this is also the most expensive one.
  • Rickshaw : You will find plenty of rickshaws in the cities. These are perfect for short distances but be prepared to haggle as rickshaw drivers tend to charge foreigners ten times the normal price. A great way to get a fair price is by downloading the Ola app , though. It works just like Uber but includes bikes and rickshaws.

Tip : When you’re travelling in Rajasthan, it’s better to book your bus and train tickets in advance. This way, you will know for sure that you have a seat. I used 12GoAsia to book my tickets, this is the only website I could find that accepts payments with non-Indian credit cards.

Rajasthan itinerary FAQs

How many days are enough for rajasthan.

1 to 2 weeks is perfect to cover most of Rajasthan’s tourist sites. Although you could go on a short 2 or 3-day trip to Jaipur, for example, there are many beautiful places to see in Rajasthan, so I would recommend staying in this state for at least 1 week.

Tips for travelling in India

India can be a little overwhelming and confusing for first-time visitors. It may not be the easiest country to visit, but it sure is one of the most fascinating ones.

In order to get the most out of your trip to Rajasthan, there are some things you need to be aware of. So here are some useful tips to help you adjust to India easily.

  • Dress appropriately: India, and especially the state of Rajasthan, are conservative so be mindful of the culture and dress modestly. It’s okay for women to wear Western clothes but this is not the right place for hot pants and spaghetti tops. I’ve written a detailed post about the subject here: What to Wear in India: Tips + Outfit Ideas . Make sure to check it out to prepare for your trip.
  • Be wary of scams: Unfortunately, scams are common in India, so be wary of them. Research common scams of the place you’re heading to in advance. This way, you won’t be fooled by them.
  • Learn how to haggle: The price is always negotiable – in many shops, the vendor will quote a high price and expect you to offer a lower one. This will go back and forth until you find a price that works for both of you.
  • Buy a local sim: A local sim doesn’t cost much and this way, you will have access to the internet to look things up at any time.
  • Take off your shoes before entering temples: If you’re going to visit many temples, it’s a good idea to wear flip-flops, as these are easy to take off.
  • Know the Indian head bobble: While people in most countries nod by moving their heads up and down, Indians nod in a different way – they shake their heads from side to side. This can be a little confusing at first, so it’s good to be aware of it.
  • Avoid PDA: Avoid public displays of affection if you’re travelling in India with your partner as this is considered inappropriate in Indian culture.
  • Have an open mind: If this is your first visit to the country, you might experience some culture shock. Be prepared for this and accept the fact that things won’t be like they are at home.
  • Bring traveller’s diarrhoea medication: Even when they’re careful, many travellers experience the so-called Delhi Belly , so it’s good to be prepared.

The state faced many Muslim attacks but the courage and honor for the land kept Rajputs community strong. The era of evolution gave birth to the great leaders like Prithviraj Chauhan who defeated the invading Muhammad Ghori and Rana Pratap of Mewar who challenged the mighty Mughal Emperor Akbar.

However, the arrival of British East India Company in the region led to the administrative disintegration and during the 18th century, the Mughal Empire faced a major setback. Most of the Rajputana province continued with self-governance. The situation improved at the time of independence when Rajputana majorly comprised of 18 princely states joined hands with each other. The year 1950 mark the merger of all 18 princely provinces into one united Sates of Rajasthan and Maharaja of Jaipur Sawai Man Singh II was elected as the Rajpramukh. Today Rajasthan has 33 districts.

The weather is at its best during the winter between November and February when the temperatures aren't too high. That said, the nights are chilly (often dipping to 32°F or lower) so you'll definitely need warm layers to rug up.

ATM 2024: Dubai’s will keep filling its hotel rooms whatever the supply

Travel & tourism.

Dubai tourism chief Issam Kazim says this incentivizes more investments in hotel projects

Dubai skyline

Dubai: Current demand for hotel rooms in Dubai is running far ahead of upcoming supply, according to a top tourism industry official.

This presents an opportunity for increased investment to develop additional attractions and hotel accommodations, said Issam Kazim, CEO of Dubai Corporation for Tourism and Commerce Marketing (DCTCM) on the opening day of Arabian Travel Market

Dubai is seeing immense growth in hotel occupancy numbers and Average Daily Rates (ADR) – a hospitality benchmark used to measure room rates. Plus, the city is having high occupancy for its holiday homes too.

“Which means that the demand for Dubai is again outstripping the supply,” Kazim added. “This means that for us, there is always an opportunity from an investment perspective to create more attractions and more hotel rooms.”

All of this incentivizes Dubai to increase its investments in the hospitality sector, said Kazim, without going into details. Dubai closed 2023 with record tourism numbers, attracting 17.15 million international visitors, a 19 per cent year-on-year increase, surpassing the previous 2019 record of 16.73 million.

Diversified approach

Kazim also said Dubai’s diversified approach to tourism is ‘paying off’. “For us, the opportunities exist from a point-to-point perspective where we've seen great growth, but we are also constantly leveraging the role that Dubai plays in connecting the rest of the world through the Dubai International Airport (DXB),” said Kazim.

There is also an opportunity to tap into transit visitors.

“This is a chance to get people in through the doors for the first time and create repeat visitors,” he explained.

About 25 per cent of the visitors who come to Dubai are repeat visitors. “I mean, they come back again and again within a period of 12 months. That is again a number that solidifies our position regarding the quality of service and things that people look forward to regarding the repeat visitation.”

He said the new passenger terminal planned for Al Maktoum International, also known as Dubai World Central (DWC), is expected to boost visitor numbers and investments. “This airport aims to attract visitors to Dubai and facilitate business travel and logistics,” the CEO said. “These developments align well with our strategy to attract more visitors, new residents, and businesses to Dubai.”
