Planning a trip to Rajasthan can feel overwhelming—so many cities, sights, and stories woven into one colorful fabric. This 7-day private tour offers a well-rounded taste of the “Land of Kings,” focusing on the most iconic sites in Udaipur, Chittorgarh, Pushkar, and Jaipur. It’s designed for travelers who want a personal, flexible experience with a knowledgeable guide and the comfort of private transportation.
We especially like that this tour combines cultural highlights with some leisure time—think boat cruises, vibrant markets, and a folk dance show. The small group size (up to three people) promises a more intimate exploration, and the inclusion of expert guides means you’ll get local insights you won’t find in guidebooks.
A potential downside? The itinerary is packed, so if you prefer a slower pace or more time at each site, this might feel a bit rushed. Still, given the price point of roughly $795 for three people, many will find the value excellent for a deep, personalized Rajasthan experience.
This tour suits travelers who love history, culture, and vibrant city life, especially those visiting Rajasthan for the first time or seeking a reliable, hassle-free way to see multiple cities without the stress of planning every detail.

The journey begins with a warm pickup in Udaipur, often called the “City of Lakes.” Most travelers arrive at the airport or their hotel, where a private, air-conditioned vehicle awaits. Starting your adventure with a boat cruise on Lake Pichola is a lovely introduction—imagine gliding past palaces and ghats, with the sun setting behind the Aravalli hills in the background.

Day 2: Exploring Udaipur’s Architectural Marvels
The City Palace is a highlight—constructed over 400 years, it’s a sprawling complex blending Rajasthani and Mughal styles. We loved how guides often share stories about the different rulers who added to its grandeur. Although admission is not included, the exterior views of the palace reflecting on Lake Pichola are fantastic.
Next, the Jagdish Temple offers a chance to appreciate intricate stone carvings and vibrant Hindu iconography. It’s the largest temple in Udaipur and a focal point for spiritual life in the city. Sahelion Ki Bari, a peaceful garden, is another serene spot where fountains and lush lawns provide a perfect escape from the city buzz.
The Sajjangarh Monsoon Palace crowns the list of must-visits. Its hilltop location grants sweeping views of Lake Fateh Sagar and the surrounding area. Many reviews emphasize that the sunset from here is particularly stunning, making it a memorable photo op.
For car enthusiasts, the Vintage Car Museum features an impressive collection of classic vehicles owned by the Mewar dynasty. Visitors often find it fascinating to see these relics of the past, especially if they’re into automotive history.

Day 3: The Majestic Chittorgarh Fort
After breakfast, the drive to Chittorgarh reveals Rajasthan’s legendary forts and stories. This UNESCO World Heritage site is massive—spanning over 13 square kilometers—and packed with structures like palaces, towers, and gates. The tales of sieges and sacrifices are gripping, especially the legendary 1303 siege, which your guide will recount with passion.
Many travelers find that exploring the fort gives a real sense of Rajasthan’s martial history and resilience. The complex offers stunning views and photo opportunities, with impressive architecture like the Vijay Stambh (Victory Tower).
Post-visit, the town’s bustling market gives a glimpse into daily life here. Sadar Bazaar and Gandhi Chowk are busy, vibrant areas where you can browse textiles and local crafts. Many reviews highlight how the guides help navigate these markets, making shopping enjoyable without feeling overwhelming.
Day 4: Spiritual and Cultural Shift in Pushkar
A scenic three-hour drive brings you to Pushkar, a city known for its spiritual vibe and the only Brahma Temple in India. Visiting this temple offers a chance to learn about the mythology surrounding Lord Brahma and the significance of Pushkar’s sacred lake.
The lake itself is a captivating spot—pilgrims and travelers alike take part in bathing rituals. The surrounding ghats are lively with activity, and the view of the city’s hilltop temples adds to the picture.
Staying overnight here lets you soak in the spiritual atmosphere. Many travelers appreciate the chance to slow down for a moment amid the bustling streets filled with colorful markets, cafes, and hawkers.
Day 5: Jaipur’s Architectural Wonders
The journey continues to Jaipur, often called the “Pink City,” famous for its historic palaces and vibrant streets. The Hawa Mahal, or Palace of Winds, is an instant standout—its honeycomb façade with hundreds of windows was built to allow royal ladies to observe street festivals without being seen.
Next, the Jantar Mantar observatory impresses visitors with its ancient astronomical instruments, showcasing India’s early scientific achievements. The guides often point out how these massive structures are still astonishing for their precision and scale.
The City Palace complex combines Mughal and Rajput styles and is still a residence for the royal family today. Many reviews note that guides do an excellent job explaining the palace’s history and architecture, making it easier to appreciate the details.
In the evening, Chokhi Dhani offers a lively experience of Rajasthani culture—folk dances, authentic food, and craft shopping. It’s a great way to wrap up the day and dive into local traditions.
Day 6: The Forts and Lakes of Jaipur
Amer Fort, just outside Jaipur, is a top attraction known for its ornate architecture and panoramic views. Many reviewers mention that climbing up the fort’s ramparts or taking an elephant ride adds to the adventure. The nearby Jal Mahal, floating in Man Sagar Lake, offers iconic photo opportunities, even if you can’t go inside.
The day ends with free time to explore Jaipur’s markets—handicrafts, textiles, jewelry—and relax at your hotel. The guides are often praised for their local knowledge, helping travelers find hidden gems or the best spots to eat.
