This ultra-small group tour will guide you through the most fascinating cities in Northern India with this tour of Rajasthan!

In close proximity to the Thar Desert, this is the perfect place for a camel safari along the breathtaking sand dunes. Next, you will reach Jodhpur, the medieval Blue City, and the second-largest city in Rajasthan, before you arrive in Rohet and travel to Udaipur to discover Rajasthan’s most romantic city with breathtaking views of the Aravalli Mountains and manmade lakes. Visit the City Palace overlooking the waters of Lake Pichola, see the crystal gallery, and discover the Jagdish Temple. Explore Pushkar with its famous lake and Brahma Temple and travel to Jaipur, the Pink City home to excellent shopping opportunities, bustling marketplaces, and aromatic streets. Take a trip to Amber Fort and visit the Jagmandir before you drive to Agra to see the Taj Mahal and Agra Fort. End your tour of Rajasthan in Delhi, the capital of India.
If you're the kind of person who likes to go beyond the surface, this tour is for you. I joined the Heritage of Rajasthan trip with my cousin, and we were both impressed with how much heart and detail was put into every day of the journey. It didn’t feel rushed or overly “touristy.” We had time to enjoy each city—walk through narrow alleys, talk to local artisans, sip masala chai on rooftops. That’s what made it memorable.
Pushkar, in particular, was a highlight for me. Watching the rituals at the lake in the evening made me feel like I was witnessing something truly timeless. Jodhpur’s fort was massive and majestic, and Jaipur’s Amber Fort was like a real-life movie set. Udaipur felt like the opposite, serene and romantic. I still can’t believe I had dinner overlooking the lake with palace lights glowing in the background.
The accommodations were mid-range but charming: clean, comfortable, and often located in beautiful heritage properties. Our driver was fantastic, and our guide brought the history alive without being boring or overwhelming. He was also really approachable and made sure everyone in the group felt included.
One of the best parts was the group itself—it was a good mix of people from different backgrounds, and we all got along really well. It added another layer to the trip.
This wasn’t just a checklist of places—it was an experience that made me feel connected to the history, art, and people of Rajasthan.
