Luxury Love Trails in Rajasthan – Jaipur with Pushkar Tour Package (3N/4D)
Overview
Pink sandstone palaces, hilltop forts and a holy lake town make this short Rajasthan escape feel very much bigger than the four days that you have. The Jaipur/Pushkar tour package kicks off in the Pink City with the City Palace, Jantar Mantar, Hawa Mahal and the Albert Hall Museum all seen on day one. You then have a full day to explore the Amber, Jaigarh and Nahargarh forts which sit on the Aravalli ridges to the north and east of the city.
Day three sees the road turning west towards Pushkar (with an optional detour to the Ajmer Sharif Dargah en route). Pushkar is one of the oldest pilgrimage centres in Hindu India, centred around a sacred lake with 52 ghats and home to one of the very few temples in the world dedicated to Lord Brahma. The evenings are all about the ghat sunset, a camel ride on the edge of the desert or a Rajasthani folk performance.
The package is ideal for couples and first-time visitors who just want to see the key highlights of Rajasthan without having to do any long drives. You're based in 3-star hotels (with breakfast each morning), you travel in a private vehicle, and you're picked up and dropped back in Jaipur at the end of the day, so it's very easy to add on a flight or train at either end.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best time to take the Jaipur Pushkar tour?
October to March is the most pleasant time of year with daytime temperatures ideal for a good walk or drive. If you're hoping to see the Pushkar Camel Fair, then you need to be there during the Kartik full moon in either October or November and book well in advance as the hotels fill up very quickly.
Is this Rajasthan package good for couples?
Yes, it's all very relaxed, the drives are short and the evenings (Jal Mahal at sunset, the Pushkar ghats, a desert camel ride) are absolutely made for two. A candlelit dinner or a room upgrade can be arranged if required.
Are monument entry tickets included in the price?
Entry tickets and camera fees are not included in the quotation unless specifically stated. You pay them at the gate, or we can include them in your package in advance if you'd prefer.
How far is Pushkar from Jaipur?
Pushkar is some 145km from Jaipur (approx 3 hours drive in a private vehicle). Ajmer is only some 15km before Pushkar, so the Ajmer Sharif Dargah is an easy optional stop on the way.
Can I customise the hotels or add more nights?
Yes, you can upgrade to 4-star or heritage hotels, add a night in Jaipur or Pushkar, or extend to Udaipur or Jodhpur. Just let us know your dates, and we'll send you a revised quotation.
Is the Chokhi Dhani dinner part of the package?
No, Chokhi Dhani is optional and is charged separately. It's a village-style Rajasthani dinner with folk dance, puppet shows and camel rides. We can book it for you in advance.
