Embark on the ultimate royal road trip through Rajasthan, driving from the Pink City to the Golden City via the Blue City. This 5-day journey features the surreal white marble moonscapes of Kishangarh, the majestic forts of Jodhpur, and a romantic night under the stars at the Sam Sand Dunes. Please note, the Southwest Monsoon officially withdrew from West Rajasthan on September 19, 2026, indicating dry weather conditions for the region. Road construction is also underway on the Jaipur-Kishangarh section of NH-48, which may cause delays. Perfect for couples seeking a blend of heritage, desert driving, and luxury camping.
Depart early to beat the city traffic. Take NH48 towards Ajmer. Be aware of ongoing six-laning construction on the Jaipur-Kishangarh section of NH-48, which may cause delays. Ensure Fastag is loaded. From August 1, 2026, the Gurugram-Jaipur section of NH-48 has transitioned to a Multi-Lane Free Flow (MLFF) tolling system, allowing vehicles to pass through toll points without stopping.
