Jaipur to Mandawa Heritage Tour with Bikaner Drop
Meet your tour guide, who will pick you up from your hotel or place of stay in Jaipur. Drive to Mandawa, an open art gallery of the world. After about two hours, reach Mandawa. Arrive in Mandawa and visit Murmuria Haveli. This haveli is known for paintings of famous leaders from an earlier era. Here, you can witness the portrait of Jawaharlal Nehru sitting on a horse and carrying the tricolour. Murmuria Haveli has been designed in the traditional style of Rajasthan and is a breathtaking building because of its architecture. Although it was built during the 1930s, it continues to be one of the favourite tourist destinations in Mandawa, Rajasthan. Visit Harlalka Well. The history of Harlalka Well is still not known by many people. This destination is just a few steps away from Murmuria Haveli. Go up towards the well by the camel ramp. Please note that you have to be very careful, as there are no guard railings to protect you from falling in. The well is bottomless and is still filled with enough water. It is one of the places where you can relax and enjoy some peace. Explore Hanuman Goenka Haveli. It is generally believed that the Goenka family owns this and many other havelis in and around Mandawa. Hanuman Prasad Goenka Haveli is a famous destination for travellers because of its different kinds of artwork and the beautiful carvings throughout the haveli. The most popular painting here is of Lord Indra, who is considered the king of gods, riding his elephant. You will also see the painting of Lord Shiva on Nandi, which is still considered another favourite among visitors to this beautiful haveli. If you wish to get a true taste of the Rajasthan lifestyle, Hanuman Prasad Goenka Haveli is the perfect place to visit. Head to Binsidhar Newatia Haveli. This haveli is considered the most stately mansion in Mandawa. It is a fantastic piece of art and architecture, admired for its exotic imagery. Even today, the haveli is known for preserving its charm and vintage character. Transfer to Bikaner, where you will be dropped off at your preferred location.
