is the second largest city in
Rajasthan. Jodhpur is also known as the

(majestic fort). Mehrangarh Fort was built on a steep hill and is among
the best in India with exquisitely latticed windows within the
residential apartments. We also visit the

cenotaph built in white marble. After the sightseeing we have a walk
through the Bazaars of Jodhpur.
Day
2: Jodhpur - Jaisalmer (about 290 km / 5-6 hours)
After having breakfast drive to
Jaisalmer. Jaisalmer's crenellated
golden sandstone walls and its narrow streets lined with exquisitely
carved buildings makes this city unique. Jaisalmer is famous for its
carved havellis (grand mansions). In medieval times, its prosperity was
due to its location on the main trade route which links India to Egypt,
Arabia, Africa and the West. Jaisalmer is a marvel of beautiful culture
and this city remains one of the most exotic city not only in Rajasthan
but in the whole of
India. Some of the visitors called this city “a
living museum”. Arrive in Jaisalmer in the evening. Rest of the day at leisure.
Day 3: Jaisalmer
Today we have a walk through the old city and visit the
fort and the
Jain temple. In the afternoon we drive around 40 km away from Jaisalmer
to
Sam dunes where we enjoy the sunset before we drive back to Jaisalmer.
Day 4: Jaisalmer - Bikaner
(about 330 km / 6-7 hours)
After breakfast drive to
Bikaner. In Bikaner today we visit the
Junagarh Fort (1571-1611 AD)
constructed of red sandstone and marble with kiosks and balconies
embellishing the structure at intervals. This imposing fort and its
palaces will be an unforgettable experience for us.
Day 5: Bikaner - Mandawa
(about 190 km / 4 hours)
After breakfast we proceed to
Mandawa in the
Shekhawati region. Shekhawati is in the North east region of Rajasthan and is the homeland of
marwaris. The marwaris
form one of the most important merchant and business groups in India.
They developed their business acumen on the trade routes between Delhi
and the coast between India and Central Asia. The marwaris enjoyed
protections by Maharajas and many of them built grand havellis. In the evening
we visit havellis. The havellis are mansions, elaborately and
attractively decorated with a strong main entrance. The walls are often
covered with murals, local legends and religious scenes from
Hindu mythology.
