Day 02

Jodhpur Forts, Memorials, and Palace

Visit Mehrangarh Fort, a 5 km-long majestic fort on a 125 m-high hill. It is one of the most impressive and formidable structures. Although invincible from the outside, the fort has four gates approached by a winding road. Within the fort are some magnificent palaces with marvelously carved panels, latticed windows, and evocative names like Moti Mahal, Phool Mahal, Sheesh Mahal, Sileh Khana, and Daulat Khana. These palaces house a fabulous collection of trappings of Indian royalty, including a superb collection of palanquins, elephant howdahs, miniature paintings of various schools, musical instruments, and costumes. Then go to Jaswant Thada, an imposing white marble memorial that marks the site of the royal crematorium. It houses portraits of successive rulers.

Day 03

Drive to Mount Abu via Ranakpur and Temple Visits

In the morning, drive to Ranakpur Jain Temple. The Ranakpur Temple complex comprises 1,444 intricately carved pillars, 24 pillared halls accompanied by 80 domes borne by 400 columns. The apogee of this entire temple architecture is the fact that no two pillars here are the same. The temple structure has five spires, each of which houses a shrine underneath, and it is under the largest spire in the axis of the main entrance (Chaumukha Shrine) that one can locate the 6-foot-tall statue of Lord Adinath. Head to Dilwara Temples, built in the 11th century and dedicated to the Jainist Tirthankara. It is completely made of marble and houses five small temples. Take a walk and notice the staggering features, intricate carvings, incised paintings, carved pillars, mandaps, arches, and beautified ceilings. Then go to Nakki Lake. As per the first legend, the lake was built by Gods to protect themselves from their enemy, the Bashkali demon. The second legend is based on the love story of the sage Rakshiya Balam. There was a king who ordered that whoever dug a lake with his nails overnight would marry his daughter. In the evening, guests will enjoy boating on Nakki Lake. Later, stroll through the local market up to Sunset Point, from where you can enjoy the wonderful view of the setting sun. Move to Guru Shikhar, a peak in the Arbuda Mountains of Rajasthan. It is the highest point of the Aravalli Range and rises to an elevation of 1,722 meters. It is 15 km from Mount Abu, and a road from there leads almost to the top of the mountain. Overnight stay in Mount Abu hotel.

The Brahma Kumaris (Sanskrit: ब्रह्माकुमारी, 'Daughters of Brahma') movement was founded by Lekhraj Kripalani. The organization is known for the prominent role that women play in the movement. After that, head to Udaipur. See Saheliyon Ki Bari, which was laid out for a group of forty-eight maidens. This garden is located on the banks of Fateh Sagar Lake, presenting a green retreat in the drylands of Rajasthan. It was built from 1710 to 1734 by Maharana Sangram Singh for the royal ladies. Go to Bagore Ki Haveli, and in the evening watch the 'Dharohar' folk dance show at Bagore-ki-Haveli. This gorgeous 18th-century haveli has been converted into a museum showcasing Mewar art and architecture. The haveli puts on one of the best Rajasthani folk dance shows in Rajasthan. For an hour, performers dance to Rajasthani folk music wearing bright coloured ethnic dresses. The dances are varied and demonstrate the tradition and culture of Rajasthani folklore. Overnight stay in Udaipur hotel.
