Jaipur
India’s Pink City’s major attractions include the Instagram-worthy Hawa Mahal, the impressive Amber Palace, the lavish City Palace and other places such as Jal Mahal, Jantar Mantar, Nahargarh Fort among others. The city also has a small but impressive dining out scene at places like Bar Palladio, 1135AD and The Verandah among others as well as specialty coffee roasters in the form of Curious Life Coffee Roasters.
For stay options, look no further than renowned properties such as Shiv Vilas, Alsisar Haveli and The Nest Luxury Resort that promise to embrace you with Rajasthan’s legendary warm service.
Jodhpur
From Pink City to Blue City, it’s time to explore Jodhpur’s magnificent Mehrangarh Fort followed by attractions like Bishnoi Village Safari before spending the evening at Ranisar and Padmasar lakes. For the adventure lover amongst you, ziplining the Jodhpur Flying Fox is an unmissable experience. Don’t forget to dig into Jodhpur’s spicy-sweet local cuisine at authentic restaurants dotted along the main city centre. For the ultimate gastronomic experience, stroll into Umaid Bhawan Palace for an unforgettable culinary tasting.
Amongst places to stay, we recommend highly rated properties such as Mihir Garh Boutique Hotel, Indana Palace and Juna Mahal Boutique Homestay. We are also fans of Rohetgarh Heritage Hotel and Radisson Jodhpur that promise a comfortable and relaxed stay while catering to every need of yours.
Udaipur
Moving to the City of Lakes, Udaipur is often referred to as India’s most romantic city, thanks to its network of artificial lakes and palaces. You can relive royalty as well as appreciate Udaipur’s regal beauty whilst visiting its landmarks such as City Palace Complex, the largest palace complex in Rajasthan and a must-visit attraction in the city that belongs to the Mewar royal family. Bagore Ki Haveli, boating along Lake Pichola and dining at rooftop restaurants along Lal Ghat, Gangaur Ghat and Hanuman Ghat that provides a superb panorama of Lake Pichola rounds off the romantic sojourn to Udaipur. Book yourself in bonafide luxury hotels such as Aurika Udaipur and Umaid Lake Palace for an unforgettable stay.
