Rajasthan Backpacking Jaipur Udaipur Jaisalmer Christmas New Year

The Land of Kings, with its vast deserts and sand dunes, is often associated with an arid climate, but the rich culture, colorful houses painted in hues of blue, pink, and gold, the tribal attire comprising mirrored ghagra choli, and art in the form of folk dance and music breathe the essence of everlasting spring into the very air of this majestic land. It’s almost impossible to explore every street overflowing with legendary tales of brave kings and fearless queens, as Rajasthan is the largest state in our country. To ensure that you get to experience all the flavors of Rajasthan, especially during this festive season, we have curated the best backpacking trip to Rajasthan from Delhi.

On this trip, we cover four erstwhile princely states that were the foundation of Rajputana back in the medieval age and still remain the top must-visit places in modern-day Rajasthan. This adventure is perfectly timed to help you celebrate Christmas and welcome the New Year in the vibrant culture of Rajasthan.

In this Rajasthan tour package, we are offering you the chance to visit Jaipur, Udaipur, Jodhpur, and Jaisalmer all in one single trip. Our journey begins with the Pink City – Jaipur, where the warm hues of its historic structures set the perfect tone for the adventure ahead.

After Jaipur, we head towards the City of Lakes, Udaipur, also known as the White City because of the ivory marble used in its royal framework of palaces and forts. In this itinerary, we make sure that you visit some of the best places in Udaipur, like the City Palace, Lake Pichola, and Sajjangarh Fort, as well as explore the local market where one can find traditional bandhani print sarees, ethnic silver jewelry, and handmade juttis while feasting on authentic Rajasthani cuisine. You can soak in the festive spirit as we indulge in local delicacies and perhaps share some laughter over a festive meal. After exploring “The Venice of the East,” we will proceed toward the Kumbhalgarh Fort and visit the Haldighati Museum before reaching our next destination, Jodhpur.

The second-largest city in Rajasthan, with its origins going back to 1459 AD, Jodhpur is also known as the Blue City, which fits it quite perfectly since most of the forts, temples, and palaces are painted in a vibrant shade of blue. It is also popular for the rare breed of horses known as Marwari or Malani, which are only found here. We have handpicked some of the most interesting places that you just can’t miss when in Jodhpur. From the majestic Umaid Bhawan Palace to the legendary Mehrangarh Fort, constructed in 1459 by Rajput ruler Rao Jodha, along with a heritage tour to Jaswant Thada, which gets illuminated when sunlight falls on it. Here, we will also gather for a festive New Year celebration where we can reflect on the past year and share our hopes for the year ahead.

Our last stop would be The Golden City – Jaisalmer, where you will have the time of your life watching the cultural show performed by Rajasthani folk groups as you sit under the starry night sky in the desert, where we set up camp after spending the whole day doing fun activities like Desert Safari and Camel rides. To enhance the festive cheer, we’ll have special Christmas and New Year celebrations with 3 delicious veg snacks, lively music, cake, and a bonfire (weather permitting). Picture yourself sharing stories and laughter around the bonfire while celebrating the joy of Christmas and the arrival of the New Year in this enchanting landscape.

Rajasthan tourism is popular for its cultural diversity, and the best part is that this beautiful state has something in store for everyone. With intricate designs on the jharokha of palaces to paintings on walls, art lovers will enjoy the kaleidoscope of colors that every nook of Rajasthan offers. The palaces and forts attract the attention of avid history lovers. The historical significance, the old-age traditions, and the cultural richness are some reasons why you should visit Rajasthan. Who knows? Exploring it during the joyous season of Christmas and the festivities of the New Year might just give you even more reasons to keep coming back!
