05 Nights 06 Days Rajasthan Camel Safari Tour
Rajasthan Camel Safari Tour Overview
Rajasthan changes quickly when you travel by road. One morning you're looking up at the forts of Jaipur, and a couple of days later you're standing beside the open sands near Jaisalmer. This 05 Nights 06 Days Rajasthan Camel Safari Tour is built around exactly that contrast.
The journey starts from Delhi and moves into Jaipur, where royal palaces, old observatories and Amber Fort introduce you to the grandeur of Rajasthan. Mandawa feels different. It's smaller, quieter and known for painted havelis rather than giant hilltop forts.
Bikaner brings another side of the desert region before you continue towards Jaisalmer. Here, golden sandstone buildings seem almost to grow out of the desert itself. The camel safari is the trip's most distinctive experience: open dunes, desert air and the changing light as the sun drops over the horizon.
The final stretch leads to Jodhpur, where Mehrangarh Fort rises above the old Blue City. It's a short Rajasthan itinerary, yes, but there's plenty packed into it: forts, frescoed havelis, desert roads, historic cities and a proper taste of the Thar.

05 Nights 06 Days Rajasthan Camel Safari Tour Itinerary
Day 1 – Arrive in Delhi and Drive to Jaipur
Arrive in Delhi and meet the tour representative at the agreed pickup point. From here, begin the road journey towards Jaipur, Rajasthan's famous Pink City.
After reaching Jaipur, check in at the hotel and take a little time to freshen up. If the arrival schedule allows, begin your first round of city sightseeing.
Visit City Palace, where Rajput and Mughal influences sit side by side in courtyards, gateways and palace buildings. Continue to Jantar Mantar, Jaipur's historic astronomical observatory.
Later, stop near Hawa Mahal. Its rows of small windows and latticework were designed so women of the royal household could watch life on the streets while remaining unseen from outside.
It's a busy first day, but a good one. By evening, return to the hotel and settle in for the night.
Overnight stay in Jaipur.
Day 2 – Jaipur to Mandawa
Start the morning with breakfast and check out from the hotel. Before leaving Jaipur, head towards Amber Fort, one of the city's most impressive historical landmarks.
Built and expanded over generations, Amber Fort combines defensive walls with elegant courtyards, halls and palace spaces. From outside it feels massive and imposing. Inside, things become far more detailed.
Walk through the fort and look at the blend of Rajput and Mughal design elements in its gateways, chambers and decorative work. The visit gives you a useful glimpse into the lifestyle of Jaipur's former rulers.
After sightseeing, continue by road towards Mandawa in the Shekhawati region.
Arrive in Mandawa, check in at your hotel and enjoy a quieter evening. The atmosphere here feels very different from Jaipur, which is part of its charm.
Overnight stay in Mandawa.
Day 3 – Mandawa to Bikaner
After breakfast, begin exploring Mandawa. This small historic town is best known for its decorated havelis, faded frescoes and grand merchant homes scattered through the old streets.
Mandawa's history is closely tied to the wealthy trading families of the Shekhawati region. Their homes were often covered with colourful paintings, decorative facades and intricate details. Some are beautifully preserved; others show their age. Both are interesting in their own way.
Mandawa Castle is another notable landmark. The property has long been associated with the town's ruling family and reflects the area's royal heritage.
Once the sightseeing is complete, leave Mandawa and drive towards Bikaner.
On arrival, check in at the hotel and relax after the journey.
Overnight stay in Bikaner.
Day 4 – Bikaner to Jaisalmer and Camel Safari
Have breakfast and check out from your hotel before setting out to see Bikaner.
The city sits on the edge of Rajasthan's desert landscape and has a character quite different from Jaipur or Mandawa. Begin with Junagarh Fort, one of Bikaner's major historical attractions. Unlike many Rajasthan forts, it was not built on a steep hill.
Explore its courtyards, balconies, pavilions and palace sections. The architecture reflects the wealth and changing tastes of Bikaner's former rulers.
Depending on available time, the sightseeing programme may also include Lallgarh Palace, its museum, Jain temples or Deshnoke.
Later, continue the road journey to Jaisalmer. The landscape becomes increasingly dry and open as you move deeper into the desert region.
After reaching Jaisalmer, check in at the hotel. Towards evening, head out towards the sand dunes for one of the signature experiences of the trip: a camel ride or camel safari.
The pace slows down out here. Sand, open sky and the changing evening light do most of the work. If the schedule and weather cooperate, stay long enough to watch the sunset over the dunes.
Return to Jaisalmer after the desert experience.
Overnight stay in Jaisalmer.
Day 5 – Jaisalmer Sightseeing and Drive to Jodhpur
Breakfast first, then check out and begin sightseeing in the Golden City.
Jaisalmer gets its nickname from the warm yellow sandstone used across much of the old city. Under Rajasthan's sunlight, the fort and surrounding buildings really do seem to glow.
Visit Jaisalmer Fort, the hilltop landmark around which the old city developed. Unlike many historic forts, this one remains closely connected with everyday urban life.
Continue towards Patwon Ki Haveli, known for its carved stone facade, balconies and detailed craftsmanship. Salim Singh Ki Haveli may also be visited according to the day's available time.
After exploring Jaisalmer, begin the drive towards Jodhpur. You'll leave the golden desert city behind and continue through western Rajasthan towards the Blue City.
Arrive in Jodhpur and check in at the hotel.
Overnight stay in Jodhpur.
Day 6 – Jodhpur Sightseeing and Flight to Delhi
Enjoy breakfast and check out from the hotel before starting your final sightseeing programme in Rajasthan.
Visit Mehrangarh Fort, dramatically positioned on a rocky hill above Jodhpur. It's one of those places that looks impressive from almost anywhere in the city, but the view from the fort itself is even better.
Explore selected palace sections such as Moti Mahal and Phool Mahal, subject to access and opening conditions.
Continue to Jaswant Thada, the white marble memorial built in memory of Maharaja Jaswant Singh II. The atmosphere is calmer here, especially after the scale of Mehrangarh.
Depending on available time, the programme may also include Umaid Public Gardens.
Later, transfer to Jodhpur Airport for your flight to Delhi. On arrival in Delhi, assistance can be arranged for your onward journey according to the confirmed package.
Your 05 Nights 06 Days Rajasthan Camel Safari Tour ends here, leaving behind a mix of forts, painted havelis, desert sunsets, camel trails and some very different corners of Rajasthan.
