About this circuit

The full Rajasthan experience beyond the tourist triangle: Jaipur's pink city, the painted havelis of Mandawa (Shekhawati), the camel-country capital Bikaner, the blue city Jodhpur, the hill fort of Kumbhalgarh, Udaipur's lake palaces, the Mewar pride of Chittorgarh, and Bundi's step-wells and miniature paintings.

Why it matters

Rajasthan has more forts and palaces than any state in the world. Kumbhalgarh Fort has the world's second-longest wall (36km) after the Great Wall of China. Chittorgarh Fort, at 700 acres, is the largest fort complex in India. Shekhawati is called the "open-air art gallery of Rajasthan."

Good to know

·Hire a car with driver for the full loop; trains don't connect all cities
·Kumbhalgarh: the wall walk at sunset is spectacular — bring a torch for the return
·Bundi is deliberately un-touristy — a perfect last stop to decompress
·Mandawa havelis are freely accessible from outside; interiors need a small fee
·Budget 2 nights in Udaipur and Jodhpur; 1 night elsewhere is sufficient
