Overview

Embark on a journey through the heart of royal Rajasthan — a land where time stands still amidst grand palaces, majestic forts, desert dunes, and timeless traditions. The Rajasthan Royal Driveby Planet Way Round is not just a self-drive road trip, but an experience that celebrates the opulence, charm, and living heritage of India’s most regal state.

This specially curated route takes you from the historic corridors of Neemrana Fort to the shimmering lakes of Udaipur, through a landscape dotted with ancient havelis, golden sands, and hilltop strongholds. Over 10 days, you’ll drive through scenic backroads and vibrant towns, stay in royal residences that once hosted maharajas, and enjoy authentic local experiences — from high teas at horse stables to jeep safaris in the desert.

The convoy is designed to balance adventure and comfort, giving you the freedom of the open road while ensuring all logistics, safety, and experiences are seamlessly taken care of. Whether you’re tracing the painted walls of Shekhawati, exploring the mystical forts of Jaisalmer, or savoring the quiet luxury of a heritage dinner under the stars — every day brings a new chapter in Rajasthan’s royal legacy.

Get ready to relive the grandeur of a bygone era — one drive, one fort, and one sunset at a time.
