8 Days Rajasthan Luxury Forts & Palaces Tour: Jaipur, Jodhpur, Narlai & Udaipur
Most Rajasthan tours show you forts and palaces from the outside, then take you back to a modern hotel for the night. This one doesn’t. Every stay on this route is a heritage property in its own right — a converted haveli in Jaipur, a fort-side heritage hotel in Jodhpur, a restored 17th-century hunting lodge at Narlai, and a lake-facing palace hotel in Udaipur. Eight days spent not just visiting Rajasthan’s royal history, but sleeping inside it.
Why This Route Is Different
A standard Rajasthan tour books you into modern hotels near the sights. This route books you into the sights themselves — heritage properties with their own history, each one part of the experience, not just a place to sleep.
- Jodhpur - a heritage hotel in the shadow of Mehrangarh Fort, in a city built almost entirely from the same stone as the fort above it
- Rawla Narlai - a restored 17th-century royal hunting lodge between Jodhpur and Udaipur, with a guided walking tour of the village and surrounding hills included in your stay
- Udaipur - a lake-facing palace hotel, in a city built almost entirely around the water it overlooks
None of these are generic upgrades. Each stay is a genuine heritage property with its own history — a former fort, a former hunting lodge, a former palace — so the accommodation itself becomes part of what makes this trip memorable, not just where you happen to sleep between sightseeing days.

Your 8-Day Journey, Day by Day

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes this different from a standard Rajasthan tour?
A standard Rajasthan tour books modern hotels near the main sights. This route is built entirely around heritage properties — a haveli in Jaipur, a fort-side hotel in Jodhpur, a royal hunting lodge at Narlai, and a lake palace hotel in Udaipur — so the accommodation itself is part of the experience.
Does this package include the leopard safari at Rawla Narlai?
No. This package includes a guided walking tour of the village and surrounding hills at Rawla Narlai only. The property’s leopard safari and its signature stepwell dinner are both optional extras, bookable and paid directly with the property — we’re happy to help arrange either if you’d like to add them.
What is Rawla Narlai, exactly?
A restored 17th-century royal hunting lodge between Jodhpur and Udaipur, known for its characterful rooms, surrounding hills, and a resident leopard population in the area (though sightings on any safari, which is not included here, are never guaranteed).
What is Ranakpur Jain Temple, and is it worth the stop?
Ranakpur is one of India’s largest and most intricately carved marble Jain temples, with over 1,400 individually carved pillars, no two exactly alike. It sits directly on the route between Narlai and Udaipur, making it an easy and worthwhile stop rather than a detour.
Is one night enough at Rawla Narlai?
It’s enough to enjoy the property and its included walking tour comfortably. If you’d like more time to explore the surrounding hills or add the leopard safari, we’d recommend extending to two nights — an easy adjustment to this itinerary.
How do we get from Udaipur to our onward flight?
We arrange your transfer to Udaipur airport, where you’ll take a short domestic flight to either Jaipur or Delhi, whichever suits your onward travel. This flight is quoted separately from the main package since fares vary by booking date.
Can the tour end in Jaipur instead of flying via Delhi, or vice versa?
Yes — both are straightforward options. Let us know your preference when you enquire, and we’ll quote the route accordingly.
What's the best time of year for this route?
October to March offers the most comfortable temperatures across all four cities. Heritage properties can book up early in peak season (December-January), so earlier planning helps secure the exact rooms you’d like.
Is this a private tour, or will we be grouped with other travelers?
Fully private. Your vehicle, driver, and guide are exclusively yours for all 8 days.
What should we wear when visiting the Jain temple at Ranakpur?
Modest clothing covering shoulders and knees. Leather items aren’t permitted inside the temple itself and can be left with your driver.
What payment methods do you accept?
International card, bank transfer, or Revolut — you’ll receive a formal invoice under our registered business name, so there’s no need to carry cash for the full amount.
Is airport pickup and drop-off included?
Yes — our representative meets you at Jaipur airport on arrival, and assists with your transfer to Udaipur airport at the end of the tour for your onward domestic flight.
