Rajasthan Tour Packages From Mumbai

Overview

Mumbai, the city of dreams, has so much to offer. From beautiful sea views to electric nightlife, a sneak peek at Bollywood, and so much more. However, despite all that Mumbai has to offer, there are many experiences you may not find even within the city. This is especially true if you are seeking a relaxing holiday that combines heritage, culture, tradition, and nature. That is what Rajasthan can give you. Rajasthan, known as the state of royals, is the perfect place to experience a well-paced vacation filled with endless adventures. So, if you are also looking for such an experience, then we have some perfectly curated Rajasthan tour packages from Mumbai for you.

The poster image of Rajasthan is that of a desert, vibrant colours, delicious food, and, of course, mesmerising culture and traditions. It is undoubtedly the state of the arts, visible in various folk works, whether songs or dances, and even in architecture and other aspects, such as textiles, jewellery, carpentry, etc. While these should be reason enough to visit the beautiful state, there is much more to Rajasthan, like its hill station, Mount Abu, which is set in the lap of the Aravalli range; Udaipur, a gorgeous city of lakes; and the Thar Desert, the world's second-largest desert, and wildlife sanctuaries.

But to actually enjoy all of these during your Mumbai to Rajasthan tour, you must first have the right itinerary. This is because the state has so much to offer that without a well-curated itinerary, you may feel confused and overwhelmed, ultimately leading to a dislike of the trip instead of enjoying it. To ensure this does not happen to you, we have created well-researched Rajasthan holiday packages from Mumbai. Each of these packages covers a side of Rajasthan without overwhelming or confusing you. These packages are designed to provide a comfortable pace. On top of that, they come with customisation options that help ensure your itinerary aligns with your needs and wants.

Why Visit Rajasthan From Mumbai?

When you live in a city like Mumbai, which offers almost everything, moving out, even for a vacation, might not seem like an ideal choice, especially to a state like Rajasthan. What does the state have to offer that Mumbai cannot? Well, actually, a lot. The state has so many flavours that you will be licking your fingers, hoping for more by the end of your Mumbai to Rajasthan tour.

A Cultural Experience

The first and foremost thing you experience in Rajasthan is its cultural richness. While the fast life of Mumbai has its own charm, the cultural depth and intensity of Rajasthan is magnificent. What will surprise you even more is that the state's culture is not static. Rather, it changes every few miles, drenched in similar hues but with its own character and fragrances. What you witness in Jaipur will not be the same as what you experience in Udaipur. And all these differences exist in complete harmony.

A Natural Retreat

Rajasthan is known for the Thar, the second-largest desert in the world. And of course, our Rajasthan holiday packages from Mumbai include a visit to the glistening golden dunes; Rajasthan's natural beauty has so much more to offer. Rajasthan is also home to the Aravalli Range, which is one of the world's oldest mountain systems. It is also home to Udaipur, the city of lakes, and Banswara, the city of a hundred islands, or the Cherrapunji of Rajasthan.

Deep Dive Into History

The state of Rajasthan has a rich history, featuring stories of courage, dedication, devotion, and passion. The state has endured wars, victories, and losses, but despite what life threw at it, it has emerged stronger, more resilient, and yet with an undeniable charm and softness, which you will discover and learn about during this Mumbai to Rajasthan tour.

A Religious Connect

Rajasthan is not only the land of royals but also the land of religion and spirituality. The state has several religious pilgrimages that attract several devotees throughout the year. In Pushkar, there is the only Brahma temple in the world, known as Jagatpita Brahma Mandir. A few kilometres away is the Ajmer Sharif Dargah, the tomb of the revered Persian Sufi saint, Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti (Garib Nawaz). There are also significant Jain temples at Dilwara (Mount Abu) and Ranakpur, the Galtaji Temple in Jaipur, the Ghushmeshwar Temple in Shiwar, and Khatushyam Ji in Sikar, to name a few more.

Experience Art and Architecture

One could argue that Rajasthan is a state rich in art and artists. Jaipur, the state capital, has a market dedicated to different artists, each of whom specialises in their talents. Textile makers, jewellery designers, bangle makers, and many other artisans have their own dedicated markets. And this is the smallest example of how much Rajasthan values its art and artists. We make sure that our Rajasthan tour packages from Mumbai let you relax.

Try New Delicacies

If you have a sweet tooth and a deep-rooted love for mouthwatering delicacies, then you will be a happy soul on this vacation. From sweet treats like ghewar, rabri, and mawa kachori to tea-time snacks like aloo samosa, pyaz kachori, kalmi vada, and mirchi vada, and delicacies like dal baati churma, laal maas, gatte ki sabzi, ker sangri, mohan maas, bajra roti with lehsun chutney, safed maas, papad ki sabzi, and aam ki launji.

Engage in Adventure Sports

If you are an adventure junkie, then you are up for a treat with our Rajasthan tour packages from Mumbai. There are so many adventure sports to partake in, like camel safaris & dune bashing in Jaisalmer's desert, wildlife spotting (tigers, leopards) in Ranthambore & Jhalana, and adrenaline-pumping ziplining & paragliding in Jaipur & Udaipur, plus hiking, rock climbing, and camping.

Opportunity to Slow Down

Last but not least, your Mumbai to Rajasthan tour is a wonderful way to disconnect from your hectic life and relax. Rajasthan is known for its grandeur and leisurely lifestyle. While the natives are hard-working, people here understand the importance of stepping back and recharging when needed. So, even if you go to Rajasthan to explore, you can still relax before returning to your routine.

How to Prepare for Your Mumbai to Rajasthan Tour?

While our Rajasthani holiday packages from Mumbai are well-curated, keeping various factors in mind, there are still some things that you, as a traveller, should take care of:

Choose the Right Travel Season

If possible, plan your trip between October and March, when the weather is pleasant and ideal for sightseeing. Summers can be extremely harsh, especially in desert regions like Jaisalmer and Bikaner.

Stay Hydrated at All Times

Rajasthan’s dry climate can cause dehydration faster than Mumbai’s humid weather. Carry a reusable water bottle and drink water frequently, even if you don’t feel thirsty.

Book Transport in Advance

Booking tickets early from Mumbai helps you secure better prices and preferred timings, whether you’re flying, taking a train, or travelling by road, especially during peak seasons.

Protect Yourself from the Sun

Pack sunscreen, sunglasses, hats, and scarves to shield yourself from strong sunlight, particularly during desert safaris and city tours in Jaipur and Jodhpur.

Carry Comfortable Footwear

Exploring forts, palaces, markets, and temples involves plenty of walking. Comfortable walking shoes or sandals will make sightseeing much easier and more enjoyable.

Be Mindful of Local Customs

Rajasthan is deeply rooted in tradition. It is important to respect local traditions by dressing modestly when visiting temples and rural areas and to be respectful of local customs and religious practices.

Prepare for Temperature Variations

The weather and climate in Rajasthan are very different from those in Mumbai. And even within the state, temperatures may vary by city. Usually, the days are hotter with cool nights. So carry clothes that can be layered so that you remain comfortable throughout the day and night.

Keep Basic Medications Handy

Carry medicines for heat exhaustion, dehydration, motion sickness, and digestion, as the change in climate and food habits may take time to adjust to.

Try Local Food

Rajasthani food is rich and spicy. You must try some of the most popular dishes, such as dal baati, ker sangri, mohan maas, and bajra roti with lehsun chutney, etc. But remember to start with smaller portions and milder dishes to let your body adjust before indulging fully.

Respect Wildlife and Nature

Rajasthan has several naturally abundant places, such as Ranthambore and Sariska. When visiting such places, strictly follow forest rules, avoid loud noises, and never feed animals.

Keep an Open Mind

Rajasthan is very different from Mumbai. It is slower, grander, and deeply traditional. To make this trip enjoyable, you should embrace the pace and culture of Rajasthan.

What Weather To Expect In Rajasthan?

Rajasthan is in the northwestern part of India, whereas Mumbai is on the west coast. This means that the weather and climate of both of these places are quite different. If you are interested in taking a Mumbai to Rajasthan tour, you must understand how the weather in the state will be and how different it will be from Mumbai.

1. April to June:

Rajasthan is a desert state, which means that the summer is usually excruciating. The summer season begins at the end of March and usually lasts until June, before the monsoon begins. But the state's size and diversity mean that temperature varies by city. In cities like Bikaner, Jaisalmer, Phalodi, and Barmer, temperatures can reach up to 40°C and 49°C during the day. Despite the heat, summer evenings in Rajasthan are breezier or cooler, with temperatures dropping to about 20°C to 29°C.

2. July to September:

Right after the blazing summer of Rajasthan, it is time for the soothing rains to arrive. The monsoon, or the rainy season, of this desert state arrives in July and usually lasts until September. The state receives decent rainfall, with occasional pre-monsoon during mid-June and post-monsoon in October. The rainy weather is not usually humid, making it ideal to visit places like Udaipur. Usually the temperature during these months drops to around 35°C.

3. November to March:

The best time to explore Rajasthan is during winter, which runs from November through February or mid-March. As the secondary western winds start to blow across from the east, west, and north, Rajasthan becomes your ideal vacation spot. The coolest month in Rajasthan is January, when the minimum temperature drops to about -2°C in places like Churu, Sikar, Pilani, and Bikaner. On average, the temperature stays around 10°C and 15°C.
