12 Nights 13 Days Varanasi Tour with Rajasthan
Varanasi Tour with Rajasthan Overview
The 12 Nights 13 Days Varanasi Tour with Rajasthan brings together two very different sides of North India. Rajasthan contributes forts, lakes, palace cities and colourful markets, while Varanasi adds a spiritual ending on the banks of the Ganges.
The journey starts in Delhi before moving by overnight train to Jodhpur. From there, the route travels through Udaipur, Ajmer, Pushkar and Jaipur before reaching Agra for the Taj Mahal. The final major destination is Varanasi, where temple lanes, riverfront ghats and evening rituals create a completely different atmosphere from Rajasthan.
The source itinerary uses trains and buses for several sectors, which gives the trip a more local travel character than a fully chauffeur-driven Rajasthan circuit. Travellers who want greater comfort can request private road transfers or domestic flights for selected legs.
