Itinerary

Begin your journey with a visit to the ancient town of Mandore, the former capital of Marwar. Explore the beautiful Mandore Gardens, famous for its magnificent rock-cut cenotaphs (dewals) of Jodhpur's former rulers, built with dark red sandstone. Wander through the lush green lawns, admire the intricate architecture, visit the Temple of Three Hundred Million Gods, and see the historic Hall of Heroes featuring high-relief figures carved out of a single rock face.

Head toward the ancient desert town of Osian, known as the Khajuraho of Rajasthan. Here, you will visit two major historical sites. First, explore the stunning 8th-century Mahavira Jain Temple, renowned for its beautifully preserved ancient pillars and stone carvings. Next, visit the hilltop Sachiya Mata Temple, a vibrant Hindu temple offering panoramic views of the surrounding desert landscape and town.

Explore the extraordinary 8th century Mahavira Jain Temple, a major historical highlight of Osian. Marvel at the stunningly preserved ancient architecture, featuring intricately carved stone pillars, beautiful arches, and a magnificent main shrine dedicated to Lord Mahavira. It stands as a brilliant testament to the rich artistic and religious heritage of ancient Rajasthan.

Arrive at the peaceful Thar Desert dunes for an authentic village safari and outdoor experience. Embark on a memorable camel safari over the beautiful sand dunes, which is fully included in your tour. For those looking for extra adventure, an optional thrilling jeep safari can also be arranged on-site at an additional cost. Watch a breathtaking desert sunset over the horizon while enjoying freshly brewed Indian tea, coffee, and local snacks. This is the perfect time for photography and experiencing the serene desert vibe. Conclude your desert adventure at a traditional desert camp. Gather around a cozy campfire beneath the starry desert sky. Experience warm Rajasthani hospitality while savoring a delicious, authentic vegetarian Rajasthani buffet dinner, featuring local delicacies like Dal Baati Churma and Ker Sangri.
