In the afternoon, the Jantar Mantar observatory gets illuminated by the sun, giving way to some leisure time spent shopping for fabrics and silver in the markets.
The morning light comes through your hotel window as breakfast is being served to you on the terrace from where you can see the beautiful pinkish sandstone hues of the old city.
You delve further inside the royal domain as you tour the City Palace with its exquisite interiors that narrate stories of the Maharajas through the crystal chandeliers and the painted ceilings of the palace.

The afternoon sees you back in the city streets as the local craftsmen showcase block printing and gem polishing techniques. Towards golden hour, you make your way up to Jaigarh Fort and its historic cannons and then back down for an evening spent exploring the local markets. The sun sets in a blazing display of colors over the Pink City, after which you enjoy a relaxing dinner at your hotel along with some traditional music.
Given that you will be served an early breakfast, it is time to take the road to Jodhpur, with a beautiful drive through the hilly regions of Rajasthan that are occasionally populated by herds of camels.
On your way, you can make a brief stop at one of the many villages where you can learn about the rural lifestyle and drink a hot cup of masala chai. In the Blue City, you will get there in the evening with the Mehrangarh Fort towering above the city and its indigo-colored buildings.

Breakfast is enjoyed amidst the beautiful scenery at the fort café with aroma of freshly brewed coffee filling the air.
As darkness gathers, the lively Sardar Bazaar is filled with sights, smells, and the sounds of spices, crafts, and street food stalls that make your senses dance. The winding streets with their haveli buildings in that distinct blue hue are captured amid the dry landscape. Sunsets from atop the fort’s walls turn the sky into a canvas of color, after which you enjoy dinner at the hotel.
