Paintings, Havelis & Frescos: Drive southwards to the Shekhavati region of northern Rajasthan, named after King Rao Shekhaji. This region is known for its clusters of towns and villages featuring elaborately frescoed havelis (mansions). Unlike other parts of Rajasthan famed for forts and palaces, Shekhavati is an open-air art gallery showcasing beautiful painted walls.

The Desert Citadel: Travel west to Bikaner, a remote city in Rajasthan’s harsh desert region. Visit the remarkable Junagarh Fort, unique for being built on desert plains rather than a hilltop. The fort's interiors are sumptuously preserved. Also explore the camel breeding farm and the famous Rat Temple at Deshnok. Overnight stay in Bikaner.

The Golden Oasis: Drive further west to Jaisalmer, famously carved from sandstone as if by a master craftsman. In the afternoon, visit Gadsisar Lake, a man-made lake that was Jaisalmer’s only water source for years, and the royal cenotaphs at Bada Bagh.

Rolling Sand Dunes: Explore the exotic Jaisalmer Fort in the morning, capturing memorable photos. Later, enjoy a camel safari over the rolling sand dunes, immersing yourself in the desert landscape. Overnight stay in Jaisalmer.

Sun City: Drive east to Jodhpur, the Blue City, founded in 1459. Evening is free for shopping or to enjoy an optional dinner atop the majestic fort.

The Way Back: After breakfast, climb the majestic Mehrangarh Fort, one of the best-preserved forts in India, with modern audio guides. Visit the marble cenotaph at Jaswant Thada before returning to the hotel. Later, you will be dropped at the airport for your onward journey.
