An 8-day Rajasthan tour package from Kolkata typically starts with a flight from Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose International Airport (CCU) to Jaipur, then covers Jaipur, Udaipur and Jodhpur by road over a roughly 1,000 km circuit, returning by flight. Since Rajasthan is around 1,900 km from Kolkata, flying is the only practical way to begin and end the trip; the cab is used for airport transfers, intercity drives and sightseeing once you land. Below is a realistic day-by-day plan, indicative 2026 prices and the best season to go.
At Safar Kolkata we organise the Kolkata-side logistics, your CCU airport pickup and drop, and a coordinated cab-and-guide package on the ground in Rajasthan, so you travel as one continuous itinerary rather than booking each leg yourself.
Why This Jaipur-Udaipur-Jodhpur Circuit Works
These three cities form Rajasthan’s most popular first-time triangle. Jaipur (the Pink City) gives you grand forts and palaces, Udaipur (the City of Lakes) is romantic and laid-back, and Jodhpur (the Blue City) is dramatic and desert-edged. Eight days is just enough to see the headline sights without rushing, while keeping daily drive times reasonable.
From Kolkata, the simplest routing is to fly CCU to Jaipur (around 2 hours 20 minutes direct, fares roughly Rs 4,500-8,500 one way depending on season), tour by road, and fly back from Jodhpur (JDH) to Kolkata, usually via Delhi. Booking flights 4-6 weeks ahead keeps costs sensible.
Approximate Road Distances on the Ground
| Route | Distance | Drive Time |
|---|---|---|
| Jaipur to Pushkar/Ajmer | ~145 km | 3 hrs |
| Jaipur to Udaipur (via Ajmer) | ~395 km | 7-8 hrs |
| Udaipur to Jodhpur (via Ranakpur) | ~250 km | 5-6 hrs |
| Jodhpur city sightseeing loop | ~30-40 km | half day |
8-Day Rajasthan Itinerary from Kolkata
| Day | Plan | Highlights |
|---|---|---|
| Day 1 | Fly Kolkata (CCU) to Jaipur; airport pickup, hotel check-in | Evening visit to Birla Mandir and local market |
| Day 2 | Jaipur full-day sightseeing | Amber Fort, Jal Mahal, City Palace, Hawa Mahal, Jantar Mantar |
| Day 3 | Day excursion to Pushkar & Ajmer, back to Jaipur | Brahma Temple, Pushkar Lake, Ajmer Sharif Dargah |
| Day 4 | Drive Jaipur to Udaipur (~8 hrs) | Stop at Chittorgarh Fort en route if time allows |
| Day 5 | Udaipur full-day sightseeing | City Palace, Lake Pichola boat ride, Jagdish Temple, Saheliyon ki Bari |
| Day 6 | Drive Udaipur to Jodhpur via Ranakpur (~6 hrs) | Ranakpur Jain Temple, evening arrival Jodhpur |
| Day 7 | Jodhpur sightseeing | Mehrangarh Fort, Jaswant Thada, Umaid Bhawan, clock tower bazaar |
| Day 8 | Jodhpur airport drop; fly back to Kolkata | Trip ends |
If you prefer fewer long drives, the Chittorgarh stop on Day 4 can be skipped and added as an optional half-day. Families with elderly travellers often split the Jaipur-Udaipur leg with an overnight halt in Ajmer.

What Car You Travel In
Your ground vehicle in Rajasthan is chosen by group size. These are the common options on our packages:
- Sedan (Dzire/Etios): ideal for 2-3 travellers with luggage.
- SUV (Ertiga/Innova): comfortable for 4-6 travellers, recommended for the long Jaipur-Udaipur drive.
- Tempo Traveller (12-15 seater): for larger family or friend groups.
For the Kolkata end of the journey, our Kolkata airport taxi handles your CCU departure pickup and your return drop, so you are covered door to door on both sides.
Indicative Price Range (2026)
Land package costs (cab, hotels, guide and entries) are quoted per person on twin-sharing, while the cab itself can also be quoted per vehicle for the full circuit. Flights from Kolkata are usually billed separately.

Best Season to Travel
October to March is the ideal window. Daytime temperatures stay pleasant (roughly 18-28 C), perfect for forts and open palaces. December and January can be chilly in the mornings, especially in Jodhpur and around the desert edge, so carry a light jacket. April to June is very hot (often above 40 C) and best avoided for a sightseeing-heavy plan, while July to September brings the monsoon, which keeps Udaipur’s lakes full and lush but can disrupt long drives.
Quick Local Tips
- Book Amber Fort and Mehrangarh visits for the morning to beat both heat and crowds.
- Carry comfortable walking shoes; forts involve a lot of climbing and uneven steps.
- Keep some cash for entry tickets, tips and bazaar shopping in Jodhpur’s clock tower market.
- Festival season (Diwali, Pushkar Fair in November) is beautiful but hotels fill fast, so book early.
