Day wise Planning

Welcome to your 'Folklands and Forts of Rajasthan' tour! Arrive at Airport / Railway Station in Jaipur and transfer to your hotel. On arrival, check-in to your hotel.
Jaipur's past is never too far from hand. The city of victory, Jaipur presides over the fascinating desert state and its people: surrounded by rugged hills, each crowned by a formidable fort; and beautiful palaces, mansions and gardens dotted throughout its precincts. The palaces and forts of yesteryear that were witness to royal processions and splendour are now living monuments, accepted quite naturally into the lifestyles of the people of the 'pink city'.
Later, proceed for a city tour. Among the highlights to be seen while touring Jaipur includes the City Palace, which is an overwhelming complex of exquisite palaces, gardens and courtyards, decorative art and carved doorways. The palace museum houses collections of rare manuscripts, armoury, costumes, carpets and miniature paintings. Walk to the adjacent JantarMantar or Astronomical Observatory made by the Maharaja of Jaipur, built in 1726 and is one of the five such astronomical wonders built by Sawai Jai Singh and makes accurate predictions even to this day. You will also have the opportunity to wander about the local markets.
Return to the hotel after sightseeing. JAIPUR
After buffet breakfast at the hotel, you will be driven just outside Jaipur to the ancient capital of Amer to see the fabulous Amer Fort. En route to Amer you will stop and see the `Palace of Winds', otherwise known as HawaMahal. It is really an elaborate facade behind which the ladies of the court used to watch the daily goings on in the street below.
Also visit the Nahargarh Fort and Jaigarh Fort. Nahargarh Fort stands on the edge of the Aravalli Hills, overlooking the pink city of Jaipur. The view of the city from the fort is breath-taking.
The rest of the day is at leisure for independent activities. ON TO JODHPUR (340 KMS / APPROX 8 HOURS)
This morning, after breakfast, you will continue your journey to Jodhpur.
En route you will stop at the holy city of Pushkar to visit the famous Brahma Temple. Pushkar is one of the oldest existing cities of India. It lies on the shore of Pushkar Lake. The date of its actual origin is not known, but legend associates Lord Brahma with its creation.
Arrive at Jodhpur and check-in to the hotel.
Jodhpur is the second largest city in Rajasthan. It was formerly the seat of a princely state of the same name, the capital of the kingdom known as Marwar. The city is a popular tourist destination, featuring many palaces, forts and temples, set in the stark landscape of the Thardesert. Jodhpur is known as the 'Sun City' for the bright, sunny weather it enjoys all year. It is also referred to as the 'Blue City' due to the blue-painted houses around the Mehrangarh Fort. The old city circles the fort and is bound by a wall with several gates.
The rest of the evening is at leisure to explore the fortress city on your own.After buffet breakfast, you will proceed for a tour of the City Palace, which overlooks the Lake Pichola. The City Palace was built in 1725 of granite and marble with filigreed balconies, ornate windows and craftsmanship in glass. The royal palace walls stretch over a mile on the eastern side of the lake. Also visit the Saheliyonki Bari or Garden of the Maids.
Saheliyon Ki Bari was laid for a group of forty-eight young women attendants who accompanied a princess to Udaipur as part of her dowry. The gardens set below the embankment of the FatehSagar Lake have beautiful lotus pools, marble pavilions and elephant- shaped fountains. These fountains are fed by the water of the lake gushing through ducts made for the purpose. Each water channel has its distinct sound and the mingling of these sounds complement the ambience of the place.
The rest of the day is at leisure for independent activities. You can explore the enchanting city bewitching in all its details - narrow streets lined by vivid coloured stalls, gardens, temples and palaces - every feature, mirrored in the placid blue waters of Lake Pichola.
You can take a boat ride on Lake Pichola (On Direct payment).
