Royal Rajasthan with Varanasi

New Delhi → Sarnath 22 days Up to 15

About this trip

This 22-day tour takes you across Rajasthan and beyond, from the forts and palaces of Jaipur and Udaipur to the deserts around Jaisalmer, before heading east to Khajuraho and the Ganges at Varanasi.

You'll travel with a private English-speaking driver in an air-conditioned vehicle, staying in hotels with private bathrooms throughout, and a domestic flight covers one of the longer legs. Guides join you at the major sites to explain the history and religious significance of what you're seeing.

It's a full itinerary that mixes Mughal architecture, Hindu temple towns and desert landscapes, ending with the sunrise ritual on the Ganges in Varanasi, one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world.

What you'll do

  • Watch sunrise from a boat on the Ganges in Varanasi
  • Visit the Taj Mahal in Agra
  • Take a rickshaw ride through the old quarter of Delhi
  • Ride a camel into the Jaisalmer desert, with a dance show that evening
  • Boat across Lake Pichola in Udaipur
  • See the temple carvings of Khajuraho and the Hindu town of Orchha
Good to know
  • A long, wide-ranging tour covering multiple states — expect a lot of driving and changes of base
  • Private driver and AC vehicle throughout, with a domestic flight for one leg
  • Family-friendly pace with guided sightseeing at each major stop
What travellers actually say

Worth it if you value personalised itineraries and reliable drivers. Think twice if you need quiet reflection time—22 days is relentless.

  • Drivers (Bholu, Sunil, Pradeep, Vivek) consistently praised for punctuality, comfort, and genuine friendliness across multiple independent reviews.
  • Tour operator Neeraj responsive and proactive—calls daily to check welfare, rebooks entire itinerary within hours when plans change.
  • 22 days is a long stretch; one reviewer noted time passed 'really too fast' despite comprehensive sightseeing and activities.
  • Visiting during rainy season meant fewer tourists at major sites, allowing uncrowded exploration of forts, temples and palaces.
