Rajasthan Tour Cost 2026: Latest Package Prices, Hotels, Taxi, Tickets, Food & Daily Budget
Rajasthan Tour Cost: Quick 2026 Answer
- RTDC 7-day government benchmark: ₹45,500 for 2 persons — AC room + AC sedan on the 6N/7D Pearls of Rajasthan package.
- RTDC 10-day benchmark: ₹63,600 for 2 persons — 9N/10D Exotic Rajasthan.
- RTDC 11-day benchmark: ₹69,300 for 2 persons — 10N/11D Rajasthan Darshan.
- Important RTDC exclusions: monument tickets, most meals, guides, sanctuary fees, flights/trains and some accommodation taxes.
- Practical private 7-day couple budget: roughly ₹55,000–₹1,45,000 depending on hotel and vehicle.
- Practical private 10-day couple budget: roughly ₹75,000–₹2,20,000+.
- Luxury: palace hotels can push a 10-day couple trip beyond ₹3 lakh without difficulty.
- Biggest pricing trap: comparing two packages by headline total when one excludes tickets, taxes, tolls, guides and desert/safari activities.
“How much does a Rajasthan trip cost?” sounds like a simple question until two people show you completely different ₹35,000 packages for the same ten days.
One includes a private car, toll, parking and decent hotels. The other includes only a car and “hotel on double sharing,” then adds taxes, monument tickets, guide fees, desert camp, camel ride, airport pickup and driver allowance later. A third looks expensive because it includes everything up front.
That is why this guide begins with something unusually useful: real government benchmarks. Rajasthan Tourism Development Corporation currently publishes a 6-night/7-day Jaipur–Jodhpur–Udaipur package at ₹45,500 for two persons with AC room and AC sedan. Its 9-night/10-day Jaipur–Bikaner–Jaisalmer–Jodhpur–Udaipur package is ₹63,600 for two. Its 10-night/11-day Rajasthan Darshan is ₹69,300 for two. Those prices immediately give us a credible floor for understanding what a government-operated package with basic RTDC accommodation and private transport costs before extras.
From there, this page builds upward: better hotels, Innova/Crysta, private guides, current 2026 monument tickets, wildlife, desert camp, food, room taxes, festivals and luxury.

Official RTDC Rajasthan Package Prices — Best Government Benchmark
Rajasthan Tourism Development Corporation (RTDC), a Government of Rajasthan undertaking, publishes package tariffs directly on its official booking site. These are extremely useful because they give travellers a non-advertising benchmark against which private quotations can be compared.
| RTDC Package | Duration | Route | AC Room + AC Car |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pearls of Rajasthan | 6N / 7D | Jaipur–Jodhpur–Udaipur–Jaipur | ₹45,500 for 2 persons |
| Exotic Rajasthan | 9N / 10D | Jaipur–Bikaner–Jaisalmer–Jodhpur–Udaipur | ₹63,600 for 2 persons |
| Rajasthan Darshan | 10N / 11D | Jaipur–Chittorgarh–Udaipur–Mount Abu–Jodhpur–Jaisalmer–Bikaner–Jaipur | ₹69,300 for 2 persons |
What RTDC Says Is Included
- twin-sharing room;
- breakfast;
- AC sedan for transfers and touring;
- driver allowance;
- fuel;
- GST on transport;
- toll and parking.
What RTDC Says Is Not Included
- air, train or bus fare;
- lunch and dinner unless specifically stated;
- monument entrance fees;
- guide fees;
- sanctuary/park fees;
- porterage;
- Amber elephant ride;
- Udaipur boat ride;
- camera fees;
- personal expenses;
- hotel accommodation GST/taxes on the published package component.
A ₹45,500 “7-day Rajasthan package” does not mean the complete holiday for two people costs ₹45,500. It means a credible government-operated base package with specified rooms, breakfast and car can sit around that level before tickets, meals, taxes and experiences.
How Much Should You Budget for 7, 10 or 14 Days?
The following table is a practical planning range for two people travelling together, excluding travel to/from Rajasthan. It is deliberately broader than a tour-operator headline price.
| Trip Length | Budget / Basic | Comfort / Mid-Range | Premium / Heritage |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5 days | ₹35,000–₹50,000 | ₹55,000–₹85,000 | ₹1,10,000+ |
| 7 days | ₹45,000–₹70,000 | ₹75,000–₹1,45,000 | ₹1,60,000–₹3,00,000+ |
| 10 days | ₹65,000–₹95,000 | ₹1,10,000–₹2,20,000 | ₹2,50,000–₹5,00,000+ |
| 14 days | ₹90,000–₹1,35,000 | ₹1,60,000–₹3,20,000 | ₹3,50,000–₹8,00,000+ |
Why are the bands wide? Because “seven days Rajasthan” could mean Jaipur–Jodhpur–Udaipur with three simple hotels, or Jaipur–Ranthambore–Jodhpur–Udaipur with four-star heritage rooms, three safaris and an Innova Crysta.
Rajasthan Daily Travel Cost Per Person
| Travel Style | Approx. Daily Cost Per Person* | What It Looks Like |
|---|---|---|
| Backpacker / public transport | ₹1,500–₹2,500 | Hostel/basic guesthouse, bus/train, local food |
| Budget private trip | ₹2,500–₹4,500 | Simple hotel, shared fixed car cost, basic attractions |
| Comfortable 3-star private | ₹4,500–₹8,000 | Good hotel, sedan/Innova, restaurants, paid monuments |
| 4-star / heritage | ₹8,000–₹15,000 | Heritage hotel, premium vehicle, guides, activities |
| Luxury | ₹15,000–₹50,000+ | Palace/resort rooms, premium private experiences |
*For two people sharing fixed room/vehicle costs. Solo travellers pay more per head because a car and room are no longer split.
Rajasthan Hotel Prices 2026
Accommodation is the largest variable after transport. The safest way to budget is by room per night, not “hotel star.”
| Hotel Type | Typical Room Range | Who It Suits |
|---|---|---|
| Hostel / simple guesthouse | ₹700–₹1,800 | Solo, backpackers |
| Budget AC hotel | ₹1,500–₹3,000 | Couples/families prioritising cost |
| Good 3-star | ₹2,500–₹5,500 | Most standard private tours |
| 4-star / boutique heritage | ₹5,000–₹12,000 | Comfort and character |
| 5-star | ₹10,000–₹25,000+ | Premium travel |
| Palace / top luxury resort | ₹20,000–₹1,00,000+ | Luxury / honeymoon / special occasion |
A Current Government Hotel Reference
RTDC Hotel Teej in Jaipur currently publishes October 2026–March 2027 rates around ₹1,600–₹2,000 for standard AC categories, with an AC family room around ₹2,900, breakfast included under the listed CP plan and applicable GST extra.
That is a useful reality check: clean government accommodation in central Jaipur can still exist below private-market boutique rates, while a palace suite can cost fifty times more.
Why Your ₹3,000 Hotel Becomes ₹6,000
- Christmas/New Year;
- Pushkar Fair;
- Jaisalmer Desert Festival;
- long weekends;
- weddings;
- best room category sells out;
- taxes added after an initially displayed base rate.
Rajasthan Private Car & Driver Cost
There is no single government-fixed multi-day tourist taxi fare. Private companies generally calculate either a total package or per-kilometre rate plus minimum daily kilometres and driver allowance.
| Tour Length | Sedan Market Range | Innova / Crysta Market Range |
|---|---|---|
| 5 days | ₹20,000–₹30,000 | ₹32,000–₹45,000 |
| 7 days | ₹28,000–₹45,000 | ₹42,000–₹65,000 |
| 10 days | ₹42,000–₹65,000 | ₹60,000–₹90,000 |
| 14 days | ₹60,000–₹90,000+ | ₹85,000–₹1,30,000+ |
These ranges broadly match current 2026 private-market car-and-driver guides. The route matters more than the number of days: Jaipur–Jodhpur–Udaipur is far cheaper in kilometres than Jaipur–Bikaner–Jaisalmer–Jodhpur–Mount Abu–Udaipur–Jaipur.
Always Ask Whether the Car Price Includes
- fuel;
- toll;
- parking;
- driver allowance;
- night allowance;
- minimum kilometres per day;
- empty return distance;
- interstate tax if the route enters Delhi/Agra/Gujarat;
- airport parking;
- GST.
Vehicle Choice: Sedan vs Innova vs Tempo Traveller
Sedan
Best value for two adults with normal luggage. For long Rajasthan roads, do not put four international-sized suitcases into a compact sedan and call it comfortable.
Ertiga / MPV
Good middle ground for a family or four adults with limited luggage.
Innova / Crysta
The most practical premium choice for four to six travellers, seniors and longer road trips.
Tempo Traveller
Usually becomes cost-effective for groups of 7–12 compared with hiring two cars, but per-kilometre rates, parking and driver charges are higher.
Monument Ticket Cost — 2026 Matters
Old Rajasthan budget blogs are now wrong because Jaipur's state monument fee structure changed in 2026.
| Jaipur Monument | Indian Adult | Indian Student | Foreigner Adult | Foreigner Student |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Amber Fort | ₹200 | ₹100 | ₹1,000 | ₹500 |
| Hawa Mahal | ₹100 | ₹50 | ₹600 | ₹300 |
| Jantar Mantar | ₹100 | ₹50 | ₹600 | ₹300 |
| Nahargarh Fort | ₹100 | ₹50 | ₹600 | ₹300 |
| Albert Hall Museum | ₹100 | ₹50 | ₹600 | ₹300 |
The Rajasthan Government OBMS system also publishes Jaipur composite-ticket categories. Check the live product before purchase because package validity and inclusions can change.
Jodhpur Official Ticket Benchmark
Mehrangarh Museum Trust currently publishes:
- Domestic visitor: ₹200;
- Domestic student/senior: ₹100;
- International visitor: ₹800;
- International student: ₹500;
- Elevator: ₹50 one way.
Its published on-site guide rates are currently ₹500 for 1–4 guests, ₹600 for 5–15, ₹800 for 16–30 and ₹1,000 for 31–50. The international visitor ticket includes the audio guide.
Do Not Assume Every Rajasthan Monument Is Government-Priced
City Palace Jaipur, City Palace Udaipur, Mehrangarh, Jaigarh and other attractions are managed separately. Their tickets can change independently of Rajasthan Government OBMS rates.
Read our latest Jaipur monument ticket guide before budgeting Jaipur.
Food Cost in Rajasthan
| Food Style | Per Person / Day | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Budget local | ₹500–₹900 | Breakfast/snacks + simple thali/local meals |
| Comfortable restaurants | ₹1,000–₹2,000 | Good cafés/restaurants, mixed cuisine |
| Premium dining | ₹2,500–₹5,000+ | Hotel restaurants, rooftop, fine dining |
Breakfast Changes the Budget
Many RTDC and private packages include breakfast. If breakfast is already included, two travellers can eat comfortably for much less than a package that requires buying three restaurant meals every day.
Do Not Prepay Every Meal
For Jaipur, Jodhpur and Udaipur, leave some meals open. You may want market food one night and a rooftop restaurant the next. Full board makes more sense in remote desert camps and wildlife lodges.
Tour Guide Cost
Guide pricing varies by city, language, group size and whether the guide is half-day, full-day or specialist. A broad planning range for a private city guide is ₹1,000–₹2,500 per day for a small group, with specialist foreign-language guides often higher.
Where an attraction publishes its own guide tariff, use that. Mehrangarh currently publishes ₹500 for 1–4 visitors directly at the fort.
Do You Need a Guide Everywhere?
- Amber: useful.
- Jantar Mantar: very useful.
- Mehrangarh: audio guide may be enough for many visitors.
- Udaipur old city: useful if culture/history is a priority.
- Jaisalmer havelis: guide can add context.
Ranthambore Safari Cost: Do Not Use a Fake Flat Figure
Ranthambore safari is one of the most commonly misquoted Rajasthan costs because the final amount depends on Indian/foreign category, gypsy/canter, zone and booking channel.
The Rajasthan Forest Department's official safari booking page was updated 21 August 2026 and links directly to Ranthambore permit booking. Use that live system for the current official amount.
Government Vehicle Capacity
- Gypsy: up to 6 passengers;
- Canter: around 20 passengers under the booking system.
How Much to Set Aside?
For trip budgeting, do not put only ₹1,000 into the spreadsheet. Keep a realistic buffer of several thousand rupees per person across safari permits/vehicle/booking components, particularly for foreign visitors and gypsy preference. Then replace that estimate with the live Forest Department amount once your date and category are known.
How Many Safaris?
If wildlife matters, two or three drives are a far better use of money than one expensive “must see tiger” drive. Sightings are never guaranteed.
Jaisalmer Desert Camp & Camel Safari Cost
This market varies enormously because “desert camp” can mean a ₹1,500 basic tent, a comfortable Swiss tent with dinner and culture, or a premium private desert lodge.
| Desert Experience | Planning Range |
|---|---|
| Basic camel ride | ₹500–₹1,500 per person |
| Shared sunset package | ₹1,000–₹2,500 per person |
| Standard camp with dinner/culture | ₹2,500–₹6,000 per double tent |
| Premium desert camp | ₹7,000–₹20,000+ per night |
| Luxury/private desert experience | ₹20,000+ |
Ask whether the package includes hotel pickup, jeep transfer to dunes, camel ride, dinner, cultural show, taxes and return transport. Many “₹999 desert safari” ads are only one component.
Train & Bus Costs
Public transport can cut the Rajasthan budget substantially. Jaipur, Jodhpur, Ajmer, Udaipur, Bikaner and Jaisalmer are rail-connected, while buses reach almost every major town.
Train fares are dynamic by train/class and should be checked on IRCTC for your exact date. Do not hard-code a sleeper/3AC/2AC fare into a long-lived travel article because train, quota and dynamic-pricing rules can change.
When Train Saves Money
- solo travel;
- Jaipur → Jodhpur;
- Jodhpur → Jaisalmer;
- Delhi → Jaipur/Ajmer/Jodhpur;
- overnight travel where a suitable service exists.
When Private Car Is Better Value
- 2–4 people sharing;
- Ranakpur/Narlai/Jawai en route;
- senior citizens;
- large luggage;
- village/stepwell stops;
- multi-city route with many intermediate sights.
Rajasthan Trip Cost for a Couple
7-Day Couple: Jaipur–Jodhpur–Udaipur
| Expense | Budget | Comfort |
|---|---|---|
| 6 hotel nights | ₹12,000–₹20,000 | ₹25,000–₹45,000 |
| Private car | ₹28,000–₹35,000 | ₹38,000–₹55,000 |
| Food | ₹7,000–₹12,000 | ₹14,000–₹25,000 |
| Tickets/guides | ₹3,000–₹8,000 | ₹5,000–₹12,000 |
| Misc. | ₹3,000–₹6,000 | ₹5,000–₹10,000 |
| Total | ₹53,000–₹81,000 | ₹87,000–₹1,47,000 |
10-Day Couple: Add Jaisalmer
Expect around ₹75,000–₹1,10,000 for a carefully managed budget trip and ₹1,20,000–₹2,20,000 for a comfortable private journey with stronger hotels, more restaurant meals and desert activities.
Rajasthan Family Trip Cost — 2 Adults + 2 Children
Family travel becomes cheaper per person because the car is shared, but room configuration matters.
7 Days
Budget/standard: ₹80,000–₹1,20,000 total.
Comfortable: ₹1,30,000–₹2,00,000.
Premium: ₹2,50,000+.
What Raises Family Cost
- two rooms instead of one family room;
- extra-bed charges;
- Innova instead of sedan;
- child tickets at private monuments;
- wildlife safaris;
- multiple domestic flights.
Solo Rajasthan Trip Cost
Solo Rajasthan is inexpensive by bus/train but comparatively expensive with a private car.
7 Days
- Backpacker: ₹15,000–₹25,000.
- Comfort/public transport: ₹25,000–₹45,000.
- Private car + 3-star: ₹55,000–₹90,000.
If travelling solo but wanting comfort, combine trains between cities with local half-day/full-day taxis rather than keeping one private car for ten days.
Luxury Rajasthan Tour Cost
Luxury is the hardest category to cap because palace hotels can cost more for one night than an entire RTDC seven-day package.
Typical 10-Day Luxury Couple
| Component | Typical Range |
|---|---|
| Luxury hotels / heritage rooms | ₹1,20,000–₹3,00,000+ |
| Premium private vehicle | ₹70,000–₹1,20,000 |
| Guides & entrances | ₹15,000–₹35,000 |
| Dining | ₹30,000–₹70,000+ |
| Experiences | ₹20,000–₹1,00,000+ |
| Total | ₹2,50,000–₹6,00,000+ |
If palace suites, private dining or top luxury wildlife camps are involved, ₹10 lakh+ is entirely possible. The correct luxury budget is built from exact room categories, not a generic “5-star package” label.
When Rajasthan Is Most Expensive
October–March
Main sightseeing season. Expect stronger hotel demand.
Christmas & New Year
One of the most expensive periods. Many hotels have compulsory gala dinner charges.
Pushkar Fair
Pushkar accommodation can increase sharply.
Jaisalmer Festival / Winter Weekends
Desert camps and good city hotels rise.
Wedding Dates
Jaipur, Udaipur and Jodhpur can lose hotel inventory suddenly because of large destination weddings.
Cheapest Months
April–September generally offers lower room pressure, but Rajasthan's summer heat is serious. Monsoon is attractive for Udaipur, Bundi and Aravalli landscapes but changes sightseeing conditions.
Hidden Costs That Break Rajasthan Budgets
- hotel GST shown only at checkout;
- driver allowance excluded from per-km quote;
- toll and parking;
- minimum kilometre billing;
- one-way empty return charge;
- airport parking;
- monument foreigner-ticket category;
- guide fee;
- camera/video permission;
- safari permit and vehicle;
- desert jeep transfer;
- camel ride;
- Udaipur boat ticket;
- Christmas/New Year mandatory dinner;
- early check-in/late checkout;
- extra bed;
- laundry;
- tips;
- shopping commission hidden inside “factory visit”;
- last-minute hotel upgrade when the booked property disappoints.
How to Reduce Rajasthan Tour Cost Without Ruining the Trip
1. Use Open-Jaw Routing
Start Jaipur and finish Udaipur/Jodhpur rather than driving back to Jaipur only to catch a flight.
2. Stay Two Nights More Often
Hotel changes cost driver kilometres and time.
3. Buy Composite Tickets Only When They Fit
Do not buy a city pass simply because it exists. Compare included monuments against what you will actually enter.
4. Spend on One Great Hotel, Not Every Hotel
Choose one special Udaipur/Jodhpur/Jaisalmer stay and keep transit nights sensible.
5. Use Train for the Longest Straight Route
Especially useful solo or when a night train replaces hotel + car kilometres.
6. Skip Unwanted Shopping
It costs time and sometimes money through inflated commission pricing.
7. Book Wildlife First
If Ranthambore is non-negotiable, fix safari dates before the rest of the route.
How to Compare Two Rajasthan Tour Quotes
| Ask | Why It Matters |
|---|---|
| Exact hotel names? | “3-star hotel” is not enough |
| Exact room category? | Base vs heritage/lake view changes value |
| Breakfast included? | Changes food budget |
| Vehicle model? | Sedan vs Crysta is a major price difference |
| Toll/parking/driver included? | Affects final car bill |
| Monument tickets included? | Foreigner fees can be material |
| Guide included? | Per city or only Jaipur? |
| Safari included? | Permit and vehicle need clarity |
| Desert camp exact name? | Quality varies dramatically |
| Taxes included? | Headline quote may not be final |
| Cancellation? | Essential in peak season |
Example: ₹45,000 vs ₹65,000 Package — Which Is Cheaper?
Suppose Quote A is ₹45,000 but excludes ₹6,000 tickets, ₹5,000 taxes, ₹7,000 meals and ₹5,000 toll/allowance. Final cost: ₹68,000.
Quote B is ₹65,000 and includes all of those items with better hotels. The “expensive” package is actually cheaper.
Always compare final expected spend, not brochure total.

How much is a Rajasthan private car for seven days?
A sedan commonly falls around ₹28,000–₹45,000 and an Innova-class vehicle around ₹42,000–₹65,000 in current private-market listings, depending on route and terms.
How much is a hotel in Jaipur?
Budget AC hotels can start around ₹1,500–₹3,000; good 3-star hotels around ₹2,500–₹5,500; four-star/heritage around ₹5,000–₹12,000; luxury far higher.
How much is a Rajasthan meal?

How much is Mehrangarh Fort?
Mehrangarh Museum Trust currently lists ₹200 domestic and ₹800 international adult admission.
How much does Ranthambore safari cost?
Use the live Rajasthan Forest Department booking portal because the price depends on category and vehicle. Do not rely on one old flat price copied into a blog.
How much is a Jaisalmer desert camp?
Standard tent packages commonly range around ₹2,500–₹6,000 per double tent, while premium camps can cost ₹7,000–₹20,000+.
Is ₹25,000 enough for Rajasthan?
Yes for a short budget trip using trains/buses and simple accommodation. It is not a realistic all-inclusive budget for two people on a 7–10 day private-car Rajasthan circuit.
Is ₹50,000 enough for a couple?
It can cover a careful 5–7 day basic trip, especially with simple hotels. A more comfortable seven-day private trip usually needs more.
Is ₹1 lakh enough for a couple?
Yes for a good 7-day mid-range Rajasthan journey or a carefully managed 9–10 day standard trip, excluding expensive flights and premium wildlife/luxury hotels.
Why do foreign tourists pay more at monuments?
Several government and private heritage attractions maintain separate domestic and international admission categories.
Which month is cheapest?
Summer and monsoon generally have lower hotel demand, but heat/rain affects travel. Peak winter is more expensive.
Does a Rajasthan tour package include flight tickets?
Usually not unless explicitly stated. RTDC's packages referenced here exclude air/train/bus fare.
Should I pay for a guide?
At important complex sites such as Amber, Jantar Mantar and major palace/fort museums, a good guide can be worth the cost. You do not need one for every stop.
Should I book hotels myself or take a package?
Self-booking gives control; a good package can simplify car, taxes and room coordination. Compare the final like-for-like cost rather than assuming one model is always cheaper.
Can a family of four save by taking one Innova?
Yes. Fixed vehicle costs split across four travellers, though luggage and room count still need to be considered.
How much cash should I carry?
UPI/cards are widely accepted in cities, but keep some cash for small shops, tips, rural stops and situations where connectivity fails.
Are tips compulsory?
No, but tipping drivers, guides and hotel staff is common for good service. Keep it outside the advertised package unless the package clearly says gratuities are included.
Final Answer: What Does Rajasthan Really Cost?
For two people, the government itself gives us a useful starting point: roughly ₹45,500 for a seven-day AC-room/AC-car RTDC base package, ₹63,600 for ten days and ₹69,300 for eleven days on the current published products. Those numbers prove that a sensible private Rajasthan trip does not need to cost several lakh rupees.
But they also prove why a headline package price is not the final trip cost. Add monument entry, food, taxes, guides, safari, desert activities and better rooms, and a realistic comfortable seven-day couple trip sits closer to ₹80,000–₹1.5 lakh. Luxury begins where those fixed costs stop mattering and hotel/experience choices start dominating.
Use this guide to create a budget—not to demand that every company match one number. The right question is not “Why is your tour ₹10,000 more?” It is “What exactly am I getting for that ₹10,000?”
