Travelling in July is perfectly fine for Rajasthan.

Remember the western


parts of Rajasthan are semi arid regions & infact rains bring in a lot of relief
from the hot weather conditions in the months of May & June. The rains are
on no account so widespread or heavy so as to ruin sightseeing, in general.
Jaisalmer looks ethereal under cloud banks. Since it is about 175 miles
west of Jodhpur, you must stay for about 3 nights. One of the finest ways of
enjoying Jaisalmer apart from the routine sightseeing, is to take a stroll in
the lanes & alleys of Jaisalmer. The finest but equally expensive place of
stay is undoubtedly 'The Serai'. You may check if it is open in this period. If
I did not have that kind of money, I would stay in Hotel Killa Bhawan, suite
rooms, for these are most elegantly furnished with great views over the city
from the bay windows. I would also enjoy a dinner at the Trio terrace, with
their speciality 'Lal maas & Bajre-ki-roti'!
On the other hand, a visit to Amritsar in this period is not recommended for
the rains are heavier in this region & humidity at a 100%. The outlying
paddy fields make the climate very hot & humid. Having said that, I would
like to add that during the winters from October to March, my vote goes to
Amritsar for some most delightful sightseeing, fine dining, history,
accomodation etc.
Enjoy your travels!

Rajasthan 11 days road trip - best places to see


Preparations
Me and my wife planned to visit Rajasthan in July '2012 and started the planning in Apr - May'
12. The first step was to get the leaves approved from the managers which took quite some time.
Once the leaves were in place, we had the dates in hand and could proceed with the hotel and
flight bookings.
We planned to visit the major cities and small towns which were quite well known and got
details about these places from a few friends and the internet. Tripadvisor - as usual helped a lot
in getting the best hotels and places to see in Rajasthan.
So, after all the research and brain-storming we narrowed down on the below places:
1. Jaipur
2. Bikaner
3. Jaisalmer
4. Jodhpur
5. Udaipur
Flights:
After finalizing the locations, the next task was flight booking. We found that there was a
Spicejet flight from Pune to Jaipur with a stopover of 45 mins in Ahmedabad. Departure time
was 7.55 AM and reached Jaipur at around 11.00 AM - This was best suited for us, as we could
use the rest of the day in sightseeing of Jaipur.
For the return journey to Pune, we realised that taking a flight from Jaipur to Pune was not
feasible. Our last destination in Rajasthan was Udaipur - 450 kms away from Jaipur. So we
planned to book our return flight from Ahmedabad - which is around 280 kms from Udaipur. We
booked our return tickets on Spicejet flight from Ahmedabad to Pune - departure time was 9:55
PM. This would give us an option of roaming around Ahmedabad for around 4-5 hours if we left
Udaipur early morning.
Hotels:
Tripadvisor is our trusted site, which we use very frequently to read and write reviews of all
hotels/restaurants we visit. So undoubtedly it was our first choice to get details of hotels in
Rajasthan.
The hotels we chose were as below:
Jaipur
Holiday Inn Jaipur
Bikaner
Hotel Harasar Haveli

Jaisalmer
Hotel Fifu - Voted the best hotel in Bargain category by Tripadvisor consecutively in 2011
& 2012.
Jodhpur
Ranbanka Palace
Udaipur
Ramada Udaipur Resort
We booked these hotels either from cleartrip or makemytrip.
Once all the bookings were in place, the only item left was - internal travel in Rajasthan.
We thought of booking a cab once we reached Jaipur and also to check if there are good AC
Volvo buses plying in between the cities we decided to visit.
I searched on the internet, but did not find any Volvo buses.

Amber fort entrance

Day 1: Jaipur
Our flight from Pune departed at 7:55 AM and we reached Jaipur by 11:15 AM.
I found the Jaipur airport to be clean and well kept. We took a pre-paid taxi from the airport to
the hotel - which is around 13 kms from the airport.
We checked in the hotel, freshened up and headed straight to Jaipur sight seeing.
Taxi for local sightseeing costs about 1500 INR/ day + separate parking charges.
We used Tripadvisor and other internet sites to shortlist the tourist attractions.
The main attractions in Jaipur were:
1. Amer/Amber fort
2. Jaigad
3. Jal mahal
4. City palace
5. Jantar Mantar
6. Chokhi Dhani
7. Birla temple

8. Hawa Mahal
We headed to the Amer fort - which is one of the best forts in Rajasthan.
We reached the top of the fort by taxi, but can also be reached by riding an elephant - which costs
INR 950 per elephant.
There are different entry fees for Indian and Foreign tourists. Additional charges are levied if you
are carrying a camera and video cameras.
Entry fee Indians: 25 per person
Camera fee: 100 INR
Video camera: 200 INR
This fort is really massive and magnificent. Its built on top of the aravalli hills and has sustained
itself for around 450 years now. The art work and paintings on the entrance doors, floors and
roofs is really fabulous.
The sheesh mahal inside the fort is really a wonder.
There is an adjoining lake, which looks real fabulous from the top of the fort.
We hired a local guide at this fort and he gave us some additional info about the fort. The guide
should not cost more than INR 50.
This is one spot - that's NOT TO BE MISSED if visiting Jaipur.
Tip: Try the malai kulfi - right outside the fort entrance - real yummy !!
There are government run handicraft shops around this fort, which sell good quality items - but i
found them to be around 15 - 20 % more expensive as compared to the local market & also, these
shop keepers are extremely pushy - so be AWARE.
There is a restaurant named "Zeeman", adjoining these shops which was clean and serves food at
decent prices.We had our lunch here and headed to the Jaigad fort, which is situated on another
nearby hill.
The Amer fort was used by the Kings and Queens as a recreational palace, but Jaigad had all the
strategic importance from the military point of view. Jaigad houses the largest cannon in the
world - "Jaivan". Jaigad is also a huge fort, but there really isn't much to see inside it - as
compared to Amer.
Tip: This fort can be skipped if you are on a tight schedule.
Since, it was hot and we were really exhausted we decided to go to the hotel, have a bath and rest
for some time. We headed to Chokhi Dhani at 6.00 PM and reached by 6.45 PM - its around 18 20 kms from Holiday Inn, Jaipur.
There are 2 options at chokhi dhani:

400 per person - This includes all the activites + Food (Normal menu)
675 per person - This includes all activities + Food (A royal touch - extravagant food menu +
food served in silver cutlery in a nice hall with live music)
There are lots of activities to do here like, camel rides, mehndi, pottery, magic shows, puppet
shows, etc.
This place is worth a visit to see the folk dance and listen to some good traditional Rajasthani
music. The food served is also good and real tasty.
We reached the hotel by 11.00 PM real exhausted.
Tip: Visit chokhi dhani only if you are not going to visit other cities in Rajasthan - because
there are similar dance shows and music in all the hotels and restaurants.

Jaiwan cannon

City palace - Jaipur

Birla mandir - Jaipur

Day 2: Jaipur contd...


On day2, we decided to avoid taxi for local sightseeing and use a rick. We visited the City palace
situated right in the heart of the Jaipur city. This palace also has separate entry fees for Indian
and foreign tourists along with additional charges for cameras and video cameras.
There are lot of old horse carriages placed as soon as you enter the palace. Most of them are still
in good condition. Also some old cannon's here.
There are 2 huge silver jars placed in the center of the palace. These jars used to have Gangajal
in them. The artwork here is as fabulous as the Amer fort. There is also a museum in this palace
which houses old weapons - which includes swords, guns, bullets, armor, etc.
Next we headed to a restaurant "Dasprakash" on M.I Road. This restaurant serves south indian
delicacies. Bit on the expensive
side but was clean and food was tasty.
In the evening we visited the "Jal Mahal", this is located at walking distance from the Holiday
Inn hotel. Its currently closed for visitors. Nice place for some photography from the lake shores.
Next, we visited the "Birla temple" on J.L.N Road. On the way stop at "Albert hall" for some
photos. The birla temple is as magnificent as other birla temples.

We had to find a mode of transport for our onward journey, and after some inquiry at local stores,
we realised that travelling by bus was not a good option and hiring a car was the best bet.
So we talked to the transport desk in the hotel and they arranged a car for us.
The transport desk was outsourced to
Pradeep Jain, Economic tours and travels.
Mr Pradeep organized a good car for us, a Maruti Suzuki swift dzire - the car was in good
condition. We fixed the price with him, before we started our journey. He was a real good person
to deal with and assured us that he will give us the best rate and provide a good vehicle and nice
driver. He kept his promise very well.
Tip: If you haven booked a vehicle, contact Mr. Pradeep.

Jal Mahal - Jaipur

Hotel Harasar haveli, Bikaner

Day 3: Bikaner
We headed to our 2nd destination: Bikaner - 330 kms from Jaipur. the driver Mr. Kalyan singh
was ready at 9.00 AM,a real nice guy.
The road to Bikaner was good and almost empty. July is just the beginning of tourist season in
Rajasthan. It took us around 5 hours to reach Bikaner. Even here the heat was extereme and we
were exhausted.
Since, we had already booked our hotel, we headed to the hotel and had some rest. In the evening
we went to Karni mata temple- around 40 kms from Bikaner. This temple has thousands of Rats
inside. Seeing a white rat is considered auspicious.
Tip: Make sure you visit this temple, this is undoubtedly a very unique experience.
We had our dinner on the roof top restaurant in the hotel and food was really delicious. The food
was accompanied by the usual Rajasthani folk dance and music.

Karni mata temple

Junagadh fort - Bikaner

Day 4: Bikaner contd ...


On day 4 we headed straight to the Junagarh fort. I must admit that i wasnt really very curious to
visit this fort. There wasn't much info available about this on the net and was just another fort for
me. But i was really surprised by what it had on offer.
This turned out to be the best fort for me in Rajasthan. Even the Mehrangarh fort in Jodhpur cant
beat this one. Junagadh MUST BE visited if you are visting Rajasthan.
The whole fort is in a very good condition and all the artwork inside is absolutely intact. The
anoop mahal especially is the best part. The marble work is also in good shape and restoration
work going on in a few places.

The museum inside the fort hold the largest collection of arms and ammunition. The museum
also holds an airplane gifted to the maharaja by RAF.
This fort was really the BEST FORT i have ever seen. Everything well maintained and in super
good shape.
In the evening we visited the local market in Bikaner and bought some namkeen and sweets.
Tip: Have the pista kulfi at Sankala sweet mart in the local bikaner market. Real yummy
Kulfi.

Anoop mahal inside Junagdh fort.

Smooth roads from Bikaner to jaisalmer

Day 5: Jaisalmer
On Day5 we traveled from Bikaner to Jaisalmer, 300 kms away. Jaisalmer being a border town,
has a lot of armed forces and the roads are maintained by BSF. Excellent roads - miles & miles
of smooth tarmac - surrounded bushes and smooth golden sand. The view absolutely stuuning.
But the outside temperature is scorching at 40 - 45 degrees.
On the way from from Bikaner to Jaisalmer is Pokhran - where India conducted its atomic tests.
We reached Jaisalmer around 2 PM and checked in at the hotel - Hotel FIFU.
In the evening we headed to Khuri - a small desert town around 40 kms from Jaisalmer. This
town has a small rajput settlement and we visited one of the small resorts there. This included a
camel ride to the nearby sand dunes - (this road traveled across the village), traditional dance &
music, followed by traditional Rajasthani dinner. All of this costed INR 2500 - which i thought to
be a bit expensive.
The dunes in Khuri are nice and have real smooth sand, though the sand here is not as golden as
the one in Sam.
We reached our hotel at about 11 PM.
Tip: Make sure you keep your sunglasses ON, while you are in the desert. The desert sand is
very fine and if stuck in the eye - can cause some irritation and infection.

Khudi desert

Bada bagh - On the way to Sam

Gadisar Lake

Superb glasswork in the Patwa Haveli

Day 6: Jaisalmer contd ...


On Day 6 we were ready for Jaisalmer - local sight seeing.
We started with the Gadisar lake - its a beautiful lake in the heart of Jaisalmer - Nice place for
some photography.
Next we visited the Jaisalmer fort , they call it a living fort - because people stay inside this fort.
There is a museum inside the fort which explains the history of the fort and also displays the old
articles including arms and ammunition.
The roof top of the fort offers a magnificient view of the whole town - a must visit. There are lot
of temples and shops inside this fort.
Tip: A lot of people advised us to be a bit careful in all of Jaisalmer, especially in the fort and
in the desert - as there have been cases when local guides have stolen peoples' cameras.
Next on our MUST VISIT list was Patwa Haveli. This haveli was the residence of some Patwa's
(a caste in Rajasthan) - and the haveli is as royal as any other palace - probably more. This place
has been maintained very well and has some fabulous painting, glasswork and artwork on its
walls and roof.
The various rooms eg: dining room, living room, kitchen, dining area, bed rooms - have been
mainitained as they were in the olden days - with all the articles in their own place. Superb place
to visit - as it gives an idea of the lifestyle these people lived.
In the evening we headed to Bada bagh - these are the royal cenotaphs or chhatris of the rulers of
Jaisalmer. This place is a quite lonely and is on the way to Sam. Nothing much to see, but place
for some photography. Can be covered on the way to sam,as it would not take more than 30
mins.
The road to Sam is really good and better than the one to Khuri. On the way, we saw a lot of sand
had settled on the road and had almost covered half the road. As we neared sam, we could vast
amount of sand on both sides of the road. You can just see sand rite till the horizon. We saw the
sunset and headed back to the hotel.

Jaisalmer - from top of the fort

Mojdi store in Jodhpur

Day 7: Jodhpur
On day 7 we travelled from Jaisalmer to Jodhpur. Jodhpur is around 300 kms from Jaisalmer and
again took around 5-6 hours to reach. The road here as well equally good.
Jodhpur is the 2nd largest city in Rajasthan, after Jaipur, and it shows. The roads in Jodhpur are
wide and clean. The city feels more royal than Jaipur. We had booked the Ranbanka palace hotel,
and on reaching there were greeted really well. This palace belongs to the cousin of the Maharja
of Jodhpur and is a nice and clean property. Its internally divided into 2 separate hotels - one is
the ranbanka hotel, which is a palace hotel and the other one is
arya niwas palace - which is more of a boutique hotel.

On arrival, we were offered a refreshing welcome drink and then we headed to our room, which
had a fantastic pool view. We freshened up and after lunch headed for local sight seeing.
We visited the local market surrounding the famous clock tower. There are lot of shops selling
authentic spices here. This place is called "nayi sadak". The market seemed to be cheap as we
bought some mojdi's here for as less as 100 Rs.
There are also lot of options here for having food. Some good restaurants and also the sweet
marts called "mishthan bhandars". This is something unique in Rajasthan - where the sweet marts
also sell fast food alongwith the traditional sweets. We had some junk food at one of these
mishthaan bhandaars and headed to the hotel.

Mehrangarh fort - Jodhpur

Jaswant Thada

Mehrangarh

Umaid bhawan palace

Day 8: Jodhpur contd ...


On Day 8 we headed for Jodhpur local sightseeing. First and most important on our list was the
humungous "mehrangarh fort". This fort is built on a hill in the middle of the city.
This fort is one of the best forts in Rajasthan. The artwork in this fort is also nice but a bit out of
shape when compared with the Junagadh fort in Bikaner.
The museum exhibits a lot of old artifacts, armoury, clothes, etc.
The view of the city from the fort is really fabulous. There are lot of cannons placed on the edges
of the fort - Nice place for some photography.
Next, we headed to "Jaswant Thada" - which is adjoining the fort. These are the cenotaphs of the
royal family. A very calm place in the heart of the city.
Next on our list was the best known palace of Rajasthan, Umaid bhawan palace. This is the
residence of the royal family of Jodhpur. 90% of this palace has now been converted into a
luxury hotel. 5% is the residence of the royal family and another 5% has been converted into a
museum. The museum basically contains the history of building the palace and the furniture of
the palace.
There are vintage cars placed in the gardens of the palace. Good collection of Rolls royce,
Mercedes, Cadillac's. A real pleasure for car enthusiast like me.

Jodhpur city from Mehrangarh

Jain temple - Ranakpur

Lake Pichola

Day 9: Udaipur
On Day 9 we headed from Jodhpur to Udaipur - our last detination on the road trip. The distance
was also in the range of around 300 kms and took 5-6 hours.
This was the only stretch of road which was not upto as good as the others we had travelled in
Rajasthan. Also this was the only section where we encountered a ghat, else all others were plain
roads.
On the way to Udaipur, we stopped a beautiful jain temple at Ranakpur.
Tip: Jain Temple at Ranakpur is a must. Beautifully crafted temple.
After reaching Udaipur, we checked in at the hotel Ramada resort. This hotel is situated on a
small hill and has a very nice ambience.
Its a bit away, around 10 kms from the major attractions in the city.
In the evening we visited the local market around the city palace and the lake pichola. There is
another lake named "fatehsagar" in Udaipur.
A lot of fast food joints have been setup along the shores of this lake - a place for local teens to
hangout. Good food and nice place.

Flower photography @ Saheliyon ki bari

Old Shell petrol pump @ the car museum


Day 10: Udaipur contd ...
On day 10 we headed for local sighseeing in Udaipur. First we visited the city palace, which is huge and is well kept. It contains a
museum which houses a lot of details about Maharana Pratap.
The palace is located on top of a hill and gives a very pleasant view of the city and lake pichola and fatehsagar lake.
The local market is adjoining the city palace and is good place to buy local artifacts.
On the way to the city palace we visted saheliyon ki bari - a garden where the queen used to meet her friends. Nice place for some
flower photography.
There is also a vintage car museum in Udaipur near to the city palace. The entry fee here is bit on the expensive side - Rs. 150 per
person.
The museum also houses one of the old petrol pumps - setup by Shell.
In the evening we again headed to the fast food joints for some food and nice and calm waters of the fatehsagar lake.
After spending 2 days in Udaipur - I realised that it did not have much to offer for a tourist.
Tip: Skip Udaipur, if you are on a tichet schedule.

Day 11: Udaipur to Ahmedabad to Pune.


On day 11, we started for our return journey to Pune. First we reached Ahmadabad by bus and then took a flight back home with
superb memories of the"most royal state of India" - Rajasthan !!

combined together. Its museum displays many royal heirlooms,
family photos, and other memorabilia.

Jaisalmer is often referred to as being straight out of a romantic
Arabian Nights fable. It's a cliche, but how better to describe this
remarkable sandstone city that rises magically from the sand
dunes of the Rajasthan desert? Jaisalmer's mesmerizing ancient

fort, built in 1156, is perched high on a pedestal overlooking the


city. Inside, the fort is alive and spellbinding. It houses five
palaces, several temples, and some exquisite havelis (mansions),
as well as shops and other residences.

Affectionately known as the "Blue City" for its blue painted
buildings, Jodhpur is the second largest city in Rajasthan. The
walled old part of the city is presided over by the looming
Mehrangarh Fort. One of the largest forts in India, it's the pride of
Jodhpur. Every October it has the honor of providing the setting
for the Rajasthan International Folk Festival. Inside the fort are a
number of palaces, and a museum. The fort is also an excellent
place to view Jodhpur's blue buildings.

Ranthambore National Park is full of history, having witnessed
many battles played out on its land, and the rise and fall of many
rulers. The chances of spotting a tiger in the wild at Ranthambore
are amongst the best in India. In contrast with many national
parks in India, Ranthambore is also really accessible and easy to
get to. The landscape is dominated by the formidable 10th
century Ranthambore Fort. It's a huge structure that contains
ruined pavilions, splendid monuments, and three Hindu temples.
Warning: Ranthambore is facing a lot of tourist pressure and
safaris are not well managed.

6. Pushkar

For most of the year, Pushkar is a sleepy little holy town that
attracts a lot of backpackers and hippie types. Pushkar really
comes alive for a couple of weeks in October/November, when the
Pushkar Camel Fair comes to town. It's a peculiar sight, and a
great opportunity to witness an old traditional style Indian

festival. Puskar is worth a visit at any time of year though if you


want to chill out. However, it's not like it used to be there. These
days Pushkar is becoming much more westernized and tourist
focused. The priests by the bathing ghats (steps) are known to be
very forceful in demanding donations too. Avoid that area, and
head to the Pushkar market for some great shopping instead!

7. Shekhawati Region

Sharell Cook
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. Located in the triangle of Delhi, Jaipur
and Bikaner, many people overlook it in favor of more popular
destinations in Rajasthan. However, 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.

The vibrant desert town of Bikaner receives less tourists than
many other prominent destinations in Rajasthan. It's an excellent

place to go on a camel safari, as an alternative to Jaisalmer. The


main attractions are the atmospheric walled Old City and fort.
Bikaner is also renowned for the infamous Karni Mata rat temple
nearby. The Karni Mata Festival, held to worship the rats there, is
one of the quirkiest festivals in India. A Camel Fair is also held in
Bikaner every January.
9. Bundi

Alex Craig/Getty Images


Although quite popular with travelers, Bundi also often gets
overlooked as a tourist destination in Rajasthan. Yet, it's a
captivating place to visit, with its lakes, markets, temples, 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 60
step wells and a ramshackle fort above the palace. The Folk Tales
specializes in rural travel and offers an interesting Rustic Charms
of Bundi Itinerary.
10. Rural Rajasthan

Christopher Pillitz/Getty Images

Rural tourism is growing in Rajasthan, with Bishnoi and Pali


becoming sought after destinations for getting off the beaten
track. Bishnoi is a community of nature worshipers around 45
minutes from Jodhpur and can be covered in a day trip, while Pali
is a bit further out and needs at least an overnight stay. Bishnoi
Village Safari organizes trips and also accommodations. You'll find
village life to be fascinating. You can even attend a shepherds'
morning opium meet.

The summers in Rajasthan are hot and humid with the average
temperatures rising up to as high as 45 degrees Celsius at

between the months of April to June sees the golden sands of the
Thar Desert glistening under the scorching rays of the mid day sun.
A time, which is best avoided if you are planning a trip to Rajasthan,
the only exception to the mercurial madness that grips almost all
the parts of the province is the tiny hamlet of Mount Abu, the only
hill station in Rajasthan, which remains a pleasant exclusion from
the heat which envelops the entirety of Rajasthan during the
summers.
when the monsoons moisturize the dry and sandy landscape and
make Rajasthan one of the prettiest lands in the world. Peacocks
dance to the music of the rain as the entirety of this desert paradise
is touched by what appears like a magic wand in the hands of an
invisible, omnipotent magician.
Winters, too, offer an excellent view of Rajasthan, though the
temperatures during this period are known to touch minimum lows
of around 0 degrees Celsius. The period, which can be said to
stretch between the months of January to March , is often
considered to be one of the Best Time to Visit Rajasthan.
