The classic full-state Rajasthan circuit, gathering the Pink, Blue, Golden and Lake cities into one six-night trip. It suits travellers who want the complete royal-and-desert experience, including a night under the dunes. The arc runs from Jaipur's forts, to Jodhpur's blue lanes, into the golden sandstone of Jaisalmer and its desert dunes, and finishes by the lakes of Udaipur. Terrain shifts from plains to true desert and back to the Aravalli lakes, with one long but atmospheric drive into the Thar. Expect Amer Fort and the City Palace, Mehrangarh Fort, Jaisalmer Fort and the Sam Sand Dunes, a camel ride and dune bashing, a Chokhi Dhani village dinner and a Lake Pichola boat ride. The pace is full but rewarding. Best from autumn to spring; the desert is bitterly cold at night in winter, so pack layers. starting at INR 31,729 per person. Covers Jaipur 2N, Jodhpur 1N, Jaisalmer 2N, Udaipur 1N.
Arrive in Jaipur and check in. Visit the City Palace and Jantar Mantar, with a Hawa Mahal photo stop, then enjoy a traditional Rajasthani dinner at the Chokhi Dhani village resort with folk music and dance.
Tour the hilltop Amer Fort in the morning, then see more of the Pink City and its bazaars. There is time for shopping for textiles, gems and blue pottery before an overnight in Jaipur.
Drive to Jodhpur, the Blue City, and visit the commanding Mehrangarh Fort with its views over the indigo houses below. See the Umaid Bhawan Palace exterior before an evening in the old city.
Drive west into the Thar Desert to Jaisalmer, the Golden City. In the afternoon, explore the living Jaisalmer Fort with its honey-coloured ramparts and the carved havelis of the old town.
After morning sightseeing, head to the Sam Sand Dunes for a camel ride and optional dune bashing as the sun sets over the desert. Enjoy a cultural evening of music and dance before returning to your hotel.
Take the long drive south-east to Udaipur, the Lake City, arriving by evening. Settle in among the lakes and palaces, perhaps with a lakeside dinner to mark the change of landscape.
Explore the City Palace and take a Lake Pichola boat ride past the island palaces, time permitting, before your transfer to the airport or station for the onward journey.
