History buffs will find these New Delhi heritage tours enlightening
Your adventure begins in New Delhi, where a friendly Bagga India Tour representative will meet you at the airport. The first day is about settling in and acclimating to the buzz of India’s capital. You’ll stay in a hotel overnight, with a brief but welcoming start to your journey.
On Day 2, the sightseeing kicks off with Humayun’s Tomb, an impressive precursor to the Taj Mahal, and a chance to understand Mughal architecture.

On the final days, you visit Pushkar, famous for its meditation temples and the Camel Fair (if timed right). It’s a spiritual hub and offers a different flavor of Rajasthan—more relaxed and deeply spiritual.
Returning to Jaipur on Day 13, you’ll transfer for your journey back to Delhi or onward flights, with the option to depart from Jaipur directly if preferred.

On top of that, the long drives between Jaisalmer and Jodhpur or Udaipur are unavoidable but are made more comfortable with private AC vehicles, snacks, and breaks. Many reviewers also mentioned the hotels being comfortable and well-located, though they note that monument tickets are not included, so plan accordingly for entrance fees.
While the tour is curated, it offers genuine moments of cultural exchange—shopping opportunities, local markets, and visits to lesser-known sites like the Rat Temple or the Chittorgarh Fort. These add depth to the journey and help you connect with Rajasthan’s traditional lifestyle.
