Few journeys in India match driving through Rajasthan — Mughal forts dissolving into sand dunes, vivid turbans against ochre walls. This 10-day itinerary covers the three jewels: the Pink City, the Blue City, and the Golden City.
Days 1–3: Jaipur
Start at Amber Fort at 8 AM. Spend the afternoon at City Palace. Day 2: Hawa Mahal at sunrise, then Bapu Bazaar.
Days 4–6: Jodhpur
Anchored by the breathtaking Mehrangarh Fort. The blue-painted old city beneath it is magical.
Days 7–10: Jaisalmer
The Jaisalmer Fort is a living fort. Spend an evening at Sam Sand Dunes for a camel safari.
