Rajasthan Pushkar & Jodhpur Adventure Group Tour 7N 8D

What is a Rajasthan group tour package?

A Rajasthan group tour package is a domestic holiday with fixed dates, a shared coach, a tour manager and group-rate stays, sold at one per-person price. You travel with other guests instead of booking each hotel, driver and activity yourself.

This one costs Rs.13,500 per person on twin sharing, land only, with standard 3-4 star stays. Flights, most lunches and personal spending are outside that figure.

Key experiences on this Rajasthan group tour

The route combines the usual fort-and-palace circuit with two activity anchors that many group itineraries leave out. Six experiences carry the trip:

• Pushkar camel safari: a 60 to 90 minute ride across the sand dunes outside Pushkar with a local handler, on Day 2.
• Mehrangarh Fort ziplining, Jodhpur: zip-lining runs from the fort ramparts, and the group goes up in timed batches on Day 4.
• Blue City walk in Jodhpur: a guided walk through the old lanes below the fort, followed by Clock Tower Market for kachodi and ghevar.
• Ranakpur Jain temples: a stop on the Jodhpur to Udaipur drive on Day 5, which breaks up a 5 to 6 hour road day.
• Udaipur lake palaces: City Palace in the morning and a Lake Pichola boat ride in the afternoon on Day 6.
• Jaisalmer desert camp: a tented overnight stay near Sam Sand Dunes with a camel ride and an evening cultural programme.

Which travellers does this Rajasthan trip suit?

This trip suits groups of 8 to 30 travellers who are comfortable with long coach days and want a shared, sociable pace. College groups, office outings, friends' circles and extended families get the best value, because coach and activity costs are split across the group.

Solo travellers can join a fixed departure and share a twin room. Families with teenagers usually manage the pace well. Travellers who need slow mornings, step-free access at every monument or a private vehicle should look at a private itinerary instead. For a slower family version of Rajasthan, the Jaipur and Ranthambore family holiday uses a different route and pace.

Best time to visit Rajasthan and what the trip costs

October to March is the most comfortable period and also the most expensive, because crowds and prices peak. According to the Rajasthan tourism department's seasonal data, October to December runs about 13-30 C, and January to March about 10-27 C with very little rain.

As of 2026, the listed cost is Rs.13,500 per person for standard 3-4 star stays on twin sharing, land only. Indicative tiers for context: a budget 3-star version sits near Rs.10,000 and a premium 5-star version near Rs.21,500 per person. Entry tickets, optional activities and flights are paid separately unless confirmed otherwise at booking.

How the days are organised

The route runs Pushkar, Jodhpur, Udaipur and Jaisalmer, with one deliberately long desert leg instead of several short back-and-forth drives. Travel days are planned as travel days, with a single stop such as Ranakpur on the way.

• Day 3: Pushkar to Jodhpur, about 4 to 5 hours by coach.
• Day 5: Jodhpur to Udaipur via Ranakpur, about 5 to 6 hours in total.
• Day 7: Udaipur to Jaisalmer and the desert camp, about 7 to 8 hours with breaks.

Rajasthan State Road Transport Corporation buses and the rail network connect the same cities. A group coach removes the last-mile problem in places such as Sam Sand Dunes, where public transport is thin.

Group size and logistics

Fixed departures usually run with 8 to 30 travellers, and a tour manager stays with the group from check-in to departure. Typical arrangements are as follows:

• Transport: one air-conditioned coach for all intercity transfers and sightseeing in the itinerary. A larger group may be split across two vehicles.
• Rooms: twin sharing in hotels and tents. Single rooms attract a supplement, confirmed at booking.
• On the ground: the tour manager handles check-ins, activity slots and timing. Local handlers run the camel safari and zipline.
• Minimum numbers: confirm the minimum for your chosen date at booking, as departures can be converted to private if numbers fall short.

What this package covers and who it is best for

It covers stays, daily breakfast and dinner, coach transport, a tour manager and the two named activities, all at Rs.13,500 per person. It works best for budget-minded groups, college and office outings, small friend groups and solo travellers happy to share a room.

What is not included in the price

Flights or trains to the start and from the end city are not part of the price. You also pay locally for lunches, monument entry tickets not listed as prepaid, optional activities such as jeep safaris or paragliding near Jaisalmer, camera fees, tips and shopping. Confirm at booking which tickets are prepaid.

Ways to save or stretch this Rajasthan trip

• Book October to February departures 45 to 60 days ahead, since these dates fill first.
• Travel in July to September for lower prices, accepting monsoon rain and humid days.
• Fill the coach: per-person cost falls as group numbers rise, so bring a full group of friends or colleagues.
• Eat lunch at local restaurants and street stalls rather than hotel restaurants. Jodhpur's old city and Pushkar's lakeside lanes have good options.
• Pack layers. January mornings in Pushkar and desert nights near Jaisalmer drop sharply, and buying warm clothing on the road costs more.

If you want a different pace or more days in one place, compare the full range of Rajasthan tour packages before deciding.

Who should pick a different Rajasthan package

Skip this one if you want a private vehicle, a slow pace or a single base city. Three coach days of 4 to 8 hours each are part of the deal. Travellers with limited mobility should check access at Mehrangarh Fort and Jaisalmer Fort, which involve slopes and steps.

It is also the wrong pick if you are hoping for wildlife. This route has no tiger reserve visit. It is not a good fit for April to June travel either, when temperatures reach 24-45 C and desert activities become hard going.

Stays on this Rajasthan group tour: city hotels and a desert camp

Nights are split between standard 3-4 star city hotels in Pushkar, Jodhpur and Udaipur and a tented desert camp near Sam Sand Dunes. Hotel names are confirmed at booking, since group allocations depend on the departure date.

Tier prices are indicative and shift by season and group size. Confirm the exact hotel category for your dates at booking.

Getting to Rajasthan and moving between cities

The tour starts in Pushkar, so most guests arrive via Ajmer Junction or by road, and Jaipur airport is the common air entry. Flights to Jaipur take about 2 to 2.5 hours from Delhi and Bengaluru, about 2 hours from Mumbai and Pune, about 1.9 hours from Hyderabad and about 1.6 hours from Ahmedabad. From Chennai, connecting flights take close to 8.7 hours. Jodhpur Airport is roughly 5 km from the city centre.

Jaisalmer has direct flights from Jaipur, Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru and Surat, and the tour ends there on Day 8. Between cities, a group coach handles every transfer. Mobile coverage is reliable in cities but patchy in the desert. Permit rules and entry fees for individual monuments change, so confirm them at booking.
