7 Day Rajasthan Road Trip Delhi Jaipur Udaipur Jodhpur

 7 Day Rajasthan Road Trip

The open road, desert hues, royal palaces, and family laughter echoing across Rajasthan — that’s how the Mehra family from Delhi will forever remember their 7-day road trip through Jaipur, Udaipur, and Jodhpur. What began as a simple plan to “take a break from city chaos” turned into a journey filled with stories, smiles, and unforgettable moments — all thanks to Rajesh from Rajasthan Tour India, who stitched together the perfect itinerary for them.

Day 1: Delhi to Jaipur – The Journey Begins

It was a bright winter morning when Rohit and Neha Mehra packed their car with excitement and snacks for the road. Their children, Aarav (10) and Naina (7), couldn’t stop arguing about who’d get the window seat. The family’s SUV rolled out of Delhi at sunrise, with soft Hindi music playing and Google Maps set for Jaipur, 280 km away.

By noon, they reached the “Pink City.” Rajesh had already arranged their stay at a beautiful heritage hotel — Alsisar Haveli, where the architecture itself seemed to tell a story of royal Rajasthan.

After lunch, the family explored Hawa Mahal, admiring its honeycomb windows that once allowed royal women to observe city life unseen. They strolled through Johari Bazaar, buying colorful bangles and miniature paintings. Aarav munched on kachoris while Naina fell in love with the traditional puppets.

As the sun dipped, they reached Nahargarh Fort. From the fort’s ramparts, Jaipur sparkled under the evening sky. Rohit clicked family selfies while Neha whispered, “This already feels magical.”

Day 2: Jaipur – Of Palaces and Pink Charm

Rajesh’s itinerary ensured they experienced Jaipur like locals. After a hearty breakfast of poha and lassi, they began their day at Amber Fort. A short uphill drive  led them to the majestic fort, where elephants walked gracefully up the ramp. Inside, Sheesh Mahal (Palace of Mirrors) dazzled everyone. Aarav tried counting reflections, while Neha marveled at the craftsmanship.

Lunch was a Rajasthani thali at LMB (Laxmi Misthan Bhandar) — dal baati churma, gatte ki sabzi, and ker sangri. Full and happy, the family spent the afternoon exploring City Palace and Jantar Mantar.

Evening brought a special experience — Chokhi Dhani, the cultural village. Here, the kids enjoyed camel rides, puppet shows, and folk dances. Rohit couldn’t resist trying the bajra roti and churma laddoo again. It was a night of music, laughter, and pure Rajasthani warmth.

Day 3: Jaipur to Udaipur – The Road Through the Aravallis

The next morning, they set out for Udaipur, often called The City of Lakes. The 390 km drive through the Aravalli Hills was scenic and smooth. Rajesh had planned a few detours — a stop at Ajmer Sharif Dargah, where the family offered prayers, followed by a quick visit to Pushkar Lake.

By evening, they reached Udaipur. Their stay, Hotel Fateh Niwas, overlooked the serene Fateh Sagar Lake. As twilight painted the sky golden, the family enjoyed a quiet boat ride at Lake Pichola, watching the reflection of City Palace shimmer on the water.

“Now I understand why they call Udaipur the Venice of the East,” Neha said, capturing the moment on her camera.

Day 4: Udaipur – Palaces, Lakes & Love for Art

Day 4 began with the aroma of masala chai on the hotel terrace. After breakfast, they explored City Palace, the grand symbol of Mewar royalty. The palace’s mosaic balconies, courtyards, and lake views left the Mehras speechless.

Next stop was Saheliyon-ki-Bari, a lush garden built for the royal ladies. Naina danced around the fountains while Aarav chased pigeons. Post-lunch, the family visited the Vintage Car Museum, where Rohit couldn’t stop admiring the classic Rolls Royce and Cadillacs used by Maharajas.

Evening brought a surprise — a cultural dance show at Bagore Ki Haveli. Rajesh had pre-booked the seats, and as the dancers performed Ghoomar and Kalbeliya under flickering lamps, Neha whispered, “This is the real Rajasthan.”

Dinner at Ambrai Restaurant, overlooking Lake Pichola, ended the day perfectly.

Day 5: Udaipur to Jodhpur – The Blue City Beckons

With hearts full of memories, the Mehras left for Jodhpur, the “Blue City.” The 250 km drive took them past small villages, camel caravans, and desert landscapes.

Their stay in Jodhpur was at Raas Haveli, a boutique property offering stunning views of Mehrangarh Fort. After freshening up, they explored the Old City, where blue-painted houses created a dreamy maze. The family wandered through Sardar Market, sampling mirchi vadas and buying colorful turbans.

At sunset, they reached Toorji ka Jhalra, a restored stepwell. The calm water mirrored the fading sky, and Aarav jumped in excitement when a flock of pigeons took flight together.

Dinner at Indique Rooftop Restaurant offered one of the most breathtaking views of the illuminated fort. Rohit raised a toast, “To family, freedom, and the road that brought us here.”

Day 6: Jodhpur – Forts, Flavors, and Fun

Rajesh had saved the grandest experience for last — a full day exploring Mehrangarh Fort, one of India’s most majestic forts. The climb was steep, but the panoramic view of the blue city below made it worthwhile. Inside the fort, the Mehras explored museums showcasing royal palanquins, weapons, and paintings.

Neha, fascinated by the fort’s history, said, “Every stone here whispers stories of valor.”

After a traditional lunch at Gypsy Restaurant, they visited Jaswant Thada, the marble cenotaph known as the “Taj Mahal of Marwar.” Naina loved the peaceful garden while Rohit captured the city skyline.

Evening brought another local experience — a Jeep Safari to Bishnoi Village, where they met artisans, potters, and weavers. Aarav tried pottery, and Naina made friends with local kids. The simplicity and warmth of the villagers deeply touched them.

Day 7: Jodhpur to Delhi – Goodbye, Rajasthan

The final morning came too soon. After breakfast, the Mehras began their long return to Delhi. They stopped at a roadside dhaba for aloo parathas and chai, sharing laughter over memories of the past week — the forts, the lakes, the dance shows, the camel rides, and the endless road.

As Delhi’s skyline appeared, Naina asked, “Papa, when can we go back?”

Rohit smiled, “Soon, beta. Rajasthan isn’t a trip — it’s a feeling.”
