Our Tour of Rajasthan

 Karan Arora

Here is my review of Thrillophilia's wonderful Rajasthan tour experience:

Recently, I went on my first trip to Rajasthan, and it turned out to be the best trip I have ever had. All thanks to Thrillophilia! From the very beginning, the team at Thrillophilia were helpful and they made the whole process easy and enjoyable. Our advisor, Akshay Sharma was kind enough to explain everything about the trip inclusions, exclusions, and other essential details. 

After a few discussions, we finalized the “Best of Rajasthan” package, which also included a free camping experience in Jaisalmer. Our itinerary covered Jaipur, Jaisalmer, Bikaner, Udaipur, Jodhpur, and Mount Abu. Thrillophilia even addressed our requests and customized our itinerary, which was absolutely great. They made sure everything went smoothly and were always available to help pre, post, and during the trip. 

About Our Trip 

We landed at the Jaipur International Airport, and our driver Haridas greeted us warmly. He took us to our hotel, where we relaxed for some time before going on our travel journey. We had the first day to explore the city on our own. So, we visited the Albert Hall Museum and Chokhi Dhani. After enjoying the culture of Rajasthan that night, we returned to our hotel. 

Our second day was also spent touring Jaipur. We visited Amer Fort, Jaigarh Fort, and Nahargarh Fort. The views from these forts were breathtaking. We also saw the Jal Mahal, Birla Temple, and City Palace. The architecture and history were absolutely fantastic to know.

On the third day, we checked out of our hotel in Jaipur and went to Bikaner. There, we visited the famous Karni Mata Temple, which is also known as the Rat Temple. It was a very spiritual experience. From there, we went to the Camel Breeding Farm, where we saw different breeds of camel and learnt about the important role they play in the local economy and culture. The calm atmosphere of Bikaner was a nice change from the busy streets of Jaipur.

We travelled to the Junagarh Fort in Bikaner on the fourth day. This fort has many beautiful palaces and temples, like Gaj Mandir, Sheesh Mahal, and Anup Mahal. After exploring Junagarh, we moved to Jaisalmer. Known as the Golden City, Jaisalmer welcomed us with its yellow sandstone buildings. 

After a delicious Rajasthani breakfast, we visited the Jaisalmer Fort, Gadisar Lake, Patwon Ki Haveli, and Nathmal Ki Haveli. Each site was unique and beautiful in its own way. In the afternoon, we went to the sand dunes for a desert camp experience. We enjoyed a camel ride and cultural performances there. After this magical experience, we stayed overnight in a tent, surrounded by the peaceful desert. 

On Day 6, we left the desert camp and travelled to Jodhpur, the Blue City. We checked in to the Heritage Kuchaman Haveli and then went on to explore the city. We visited the Mehrangarh Fort, which offered stunning views of Jodhpur. We also saw the beautiful marble memorial at the Jaswant Thada. At the end of the day we hopped to the local markets and shopped for our families back home. 

Day 7 started with a visit to the grand and luxurious Umaid Bhawan Palace in Jodhpur. After exploring the palace, we were taken for a comfortable drive to Mount Abu. It is the only hill station in Rajasthan. 

The next day, we spent the entire day exploring Mount Abu. We visited the highest peak in the Aravalli Range called the Guru Shikhar. Moving forward, we saw the Dilwara Jain Temples, which are known for their intricate carvings. We even went for a boat ride on Nakki Lake. Some other attractions that we saw at the hill station are Achalgarh Fort, Trevor's Tank, the Adhar Devi Temple, and the Brahma Kumaris Ashram. We returned to our hotel, completely refreshed by the cool mountain air. 

The 9th day was the last day of our Rajasthan trip. We checked out from our hotel in Mount Abu and went to the Udaipur airport for our flight home. Although our trip ended, we took home wonderful memories of Rajasthan’s culture, architecture, and hospitality. 

Thank You, Thrillophilia!

I am so grateful for the amazing experience we had on our trip to Rajasthan. Every penny we spent was absolutely worth it! 

I want to thank Thrillophilia for their excellent services and their team for creating such wonderful packages. We had an outstanding experience with Thrillophilia, and I hope this Thrillophilia review helps others plan their trips efficiently.
