A road trip in and around Rajasthan by car may seem like a super-ambitious project at first thought, but if well planned, it can be a really memorable tour.
You can explore the land of Forts to your heart’s content in your comfort and customise your trip as per your requirements, adding or removing a few spots should you prefer.
Irrespective of whether you are foraging into the state as a part of a two-day trip near Delhi or planning a one-week elaborate tour, a simple booking with the Rajasthan Taxi service will ensure you get to watch the scenic view and watch the roads fly by while you comfortably sit back in your car recliner.
A list of destinations that can be included in a Rajasthan road trip
Here is a list of destinations that you can cover in your Rajasthan tour by car
Alwar
Alwar is often regarded as a starting point of road tours because of its proximity to the Delhi border. You can comfortably start from Alwar and move to Jaipur after having your fill of the tour.
It is a traveller’s paradise through and through, whether you want to visit the Sariska tiger reserve or get straight to the Bhangarh fort.
Note – you might be just in time to witness the Bilali festival if you visit in April, whereas planning in November will be ideal for participating in the Matsya Utsav.
Jaipur
Jaipur cannot be missed in any tour, no matter how pressed for time you are.
From busy markets selling bags, fabrics and shoes to artists’ outlets dispensing unique pottery items, all you need is to name your pick and Jaipur will offer.
Note: While you understandably have a lot to cover, you need at least two days to have your fill of Jaipur and move further.
Ranthambore
Ranthambore is a fantastic sightseeing option that cannot be left out at any cost.
In the middle of Ranthambore park, is the Ranthambore Fort, partly open to tourists as per locals, housing several leopards.
Just outside the temple is the famous Trinetra temple, the oldest Ganesha temple of Rajasthan.
Note: Regular still photography is permitted without any extra charge, but for professional filming, you may be charged more.
Pushkar
It is a fact that the majority of tourists visit Rajasthan just for Pushkar.
A Pushkar tour takes an entire day, and walking from the parking to the main shrines is not short. Even on quiet days, the going and coming back alone can happily take an hour.
But it is worth every effort as the sacred waters of the lake, surrounded by 52 ghats, will wash all sins off your soul.
Note: The shrines are not situated all in one place but scattered apart. A guide will be super helpful in navigating the area.
Jodhpur
A Rajasthan tour by car is incomplete without a halt at Jodhpur, the city proudly proclaiming Raavan as their son-in-law.
While Jaipur was colored pink in a bid to preserve its heritage structure, Jodhpur was painted blue to repel insects and find some solace from the hot weather.
Irrespective of the reason, watching the blue magic from the Mehramgarh will carve a special memory in your heart.
And it’s not just about the forts. The Bandhani of Jodhpur is as unique as the city because of its unique creation method.
Note: Mehramgarh tour might eat up an entire day, but it is worth the time and the effort.
Jaisalmer
A Rajasthan trip is incomplete without Jaisalmer.
With its functioning living fort teaming with picturesque palaces and quaint markets, to its desert regions with miles and miles of sand, Jaisalmer has something to offer to every soul.
Coming to the practical aspect, it is impossible to tour the city in one day, and you have to pick what to see and where to start.
A Jaisalmer tour package usually covers the chief attractions of the city, but should you opt for something out of the box, our travel agents will be happy to suggest some unique spots.
When is the best time to make the car trip?
It is preferable to make the trip in winter when the weather is slightly better and you can explore outdoor locations without sweltering and sweating too much.
Winter nights can be super cold as well, and it would be ideal to pack warm clothes for the trip.
Monsoons (July to September) are kind of off-season and less crowded, but a good visiting period because of cooler temperatures.
Monsoons draw animals out, making it a convenient period for safari tours, but it would be wise to enquire whether they are open during this period before booking the slot.
Summers are extremely hot with soaring temperatures, but ideal for visiting hill stations like Mount Abu and Kumbhalgarh.
Things to carry during a Rajasthan Tour by Car
Things don’t always go our way during a road trip, and here are some things that you must have.
- Proper documents, whether of your vehicle or ID proof, if you are on the road, they are super important.
- A power bank to charge your mobile phones and electronic appliances
- Flashlights and batteries, so you have a backup to see in the dark.
