How to Plan a Rajasthan Trip by Car

Rajasthan is really one of the fascinating sites to visit in India—the incredible forts, royal palaces, vibrant bazaars and extensive deserts as well as cultural heritage. Though trains and planes make the connection between the big cities, nothing beats the flexibility and comfort of traveling to Rajasthan by car. You can take a road trip to experience local culture in a new way, do things that are not done on the beaten path, take the time to take a picture of a pretty view along the way, and take your time to enjoy things at your own pace.

If you are planning a family vacation, a photography tour, a honeymoon or a heritage tour then here is a complete guide to planning the perfect Rajasthan tour by car.

Determine the length of your journey

Key first steps are: calculating the number of days available. It's not possible to visit all the places of Rajasthan in an overnight tour.

Some possible itineraries are:

5–6 Days: Jaipur, Pushkar, Jodhpur
The tour comprises visit to Ajmer, Pushkar, Jodhpur, Udaipur and Jaipur with stay of 7-8 days.
This tour is a 10-12 days tour to Jaipur, Bikaner, Jaisalmer, Jodhpur, Mount Abu and Udaipur.
For 14+ Days: Add places like Ranthambore, Chittorgarh, Bundi, Kumbhalgarh and some offbeat places to it.

If you plan ahead, you won't waste time driving to see things and will save time not spent driving.

Choose the Best Time to Visit Rajasthan

October to March is the ideal time to travel by road in Rajasthan. These months are cool for sightseeing and desert safaris, as well as long distance driving.

Many areas in the summer months (April-June) have temperatures above 45°C and travelling during the daytime is challenging. Udaipur experience green periods of spring and summerizes are mount aub too, but can affect outdoor activities.

Select the Right Vehicle

Making the right vehicle selection is very important to your travel experience.

Car seat for two or three people
For Families and Long distance comfort, SUVS are the solution.
High-end car for a high-end getaway.
Groups can enjoy a Tempo Traveller experience.

Renting a private driver may well be more convenient than driving yourself, particularly in a new area or while on extended trips.

Plan Your Route Carefully

A well planned route is both time and fuel saving.

One of the most popular road trip circuit is:

Pushkar Temple is located in the middle of the road.

Another scenic option includes:

Ranthambore and the tour route is Bundi, Chittorgarh and Udaipur and then back to Jaipur.

Follow your application along but don't be rigid on the time in which you stay at heritage villages, lakes, roadside cafés and viewpoints.

Book Accommodation in Advance

Rajasthan is a tourist favourite state throughout the year but especially during winter and festivals.

Book your hotel in advance especially to the following locations:

Jaipur

Keep Essentials Ready

Make a travel list:

Government ID proofs
Power banks and charging stations that can be taken along.

Water bottles
Basic medicines
Camera
Crops for cash in rural areas and local markets.

These are key items to have on hand, which will make the trip a smoother, less stressing experience.
