Amber Palace
The beautiful, menacing, honey-hued Amber Fort (pronounced 'amber'), an ethereal example of Rajput architecture, rises from a steep mountainside about 11 kilometers northeast of Jaipur and is the city's must-see attraction. It features a vast palace complex, built from pale yellow and pink sandstone and white marble, and is organized into four major portions, each with its own courtyard.
Jal Mahal
Photo Stop at Jal Mahal (Water Palace) - This dreamy palace is located near Jaipur's maharani cenotaphs and is magnificently placed in the watery expanse of Man Sagar. Its origins are uncertain, but it was thought to have been considerably repaired, if not erected, by Jai Singh II (1734).
Hawa Mahal - Palace of Wind
Photo Stop at Hawa Mahal (Palace of Winds) - Jaipur's most recognizable monument is a magnificent pink-painted delicately honeycombed hive that reaches a staggering five floors. Maharaja Sawai Pratap Singh built it in 1799 so that ladies of the royal household might observe city life and processions.
City Palace of Jaipur
The royal family lives at the City Palace. The City Palace, a magnificent complex of courtyards, gardens, and buildings, is located in the heart of the Old City. Jai Singh II built the exterior wall, but the palace within it has grown and changed over the years. There are palace buildings from various centuries, some from the early twentieth century. It is a stunning combination of Rajasthani and Mughal architecture.

(Approx 5-hour drive)
Jodhpur
After breakfast, go to the blue city of Jodhpur. The Blue City truly is blue! Inside is a maze of winding, dazzling medieval alleyways that never seem to lead anywhere, fragrant by incense, roses, and sewers, and lined with stores and bazaars selling everything from trumpets and temple decorations to snuff and saris. Upon arrival in Jodhpur, check into your pre-booked hotel.
Clock Tower Market
Leave in the evening to visit Ghanta Ghar, commonly known as the Clock Tower. The century-old clock tower is a major landmark surrounded by the lively sounds, sights, and smells of Sardar Market.

Jaswant Thada
Also, visit Jaswant Thada, a 19th-century royal cenotaph erected in white marble to commemorate Maharaja Jaswant Singh II, as well as three other cenotaphs nearby.
Umaid Bhawan Museum

Another section of the palace has a well-maintained museum, which displays an astounding assortment of things belonging to the Maharaja and the royal family, including weaponry, antiques, interesting clocks, tableware, and trophies.
Ranakpur Jain Temple
Enroute to Udaipur visit Ranakpur Jain Temple - superbly preserved in a near-perfect condition for over 500 years. The most attractive features are the 29 halls of the temple, which have 1444 pillars of which no two are like.
Udaipur
Later, continue your journey to Udaipur, which has a romance of setting unrivaled in Rajasthan and perhaps in all of India, nestled amid calm Lake Pichola, with the purple hills of the Aravalli Range stretching away in every direction. Fantastical palaces, temples, havelis (traditional, ornately built dwellings) and endless narrow, twisting, ageless streets provide a human counterpoint to the city's natural beauty.
Upon arriving in Udaipur, check into your pre-booked accommodation.
[Day 6]
Udaipur Sightseeing
- City of Lakes
Jagdish Temple
Maharana Jagat Singh built this popular Indo-Aryan shrine in 1651. The beautifully carved main structure houses a black stone figure of Vishnu as Jagannath, the Lord of the Universe. A shrine facing the main structure houses a brass image of the Garuda (Vishnu's man-bird vehicle).

Bagore Ki Haveli Museum
A large haveli (city home) facing Lake Pichola. This 18th-century structure has over 100 rooms, many of which are adorned with historical furnishings. Others have been made into ephemera exhibitions (including what is said to be the world's largest turban).
Sajjangarh Monsoon Palace
In the early evening, go to Monsoon Palace. Maharana Sajjan Singh built this gloomy, neglected late-19th-century residence atop a faraway hill, resembling a fairy-tale castle.
