Rajasthan Tour Packages from Bangalore
From Bengaluru's mild weather to the dry desert winter in about two and a half hours – private Rajasthan trips planned around the KIA non-stops, with your own car and driver from the first airport to the last.
Rajasthan is about as far from Bengaluru, in climate and in food, as you can travel without a passport. You leave a city where December means 15°C mornings and drizzle-grey skies, and land in a dry, bright winter where the sun is warm at noon and a desert camp can drop to 4°C at night. That contrast is the reason most Bangalore travellers go, and it is also the thing they most often under-prepare for.
The good news is that the flying is now simple. As of November 2026 Kempegowda International Airport has non-stop flights to Jaipur, Udaipur and Jodhpur, so you can be in a Rajasthan city before 9 am on the right flight. This page is written for people starting in Bengaluru. It covers what a Rajasthan package from Bangalore costs without flights, which KIA flight suits which route, the long train ride for those who want it, three day-wise plans built on actual departure times, how to add an Ahmedabad or Mumbai leg, a month table that follows Karnataka holidays, and an honest section on food for South Indian travellers. Your trip is planned by our team in Ahmedabad and booked on WhatsApp or phone; we have no Bengaluru office.

What a Rajasthan trip from Bangalore costs (2026–27)
There are 24 Rajasthan packages live on the site today, starting at ₹6,500 per person. The bands below are per person, two adults sharing a room and a car, and they exclude the flight from Bengaluru. They include hotels with breakfast, a private AC car with driver from your arrival airport to your departure airport, fuel, tolls, parking, the driver's night allowance and the sightseeing in each plan.
| Plan from Bangalore | Standard (3-star) | Deluxe (4-star / heritage haveli) | Premium (5-star / palace) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 4 nights: Jodhpur and a Jaisalmer dune camp | ₹17,000 – 22,500 | ₹25,000 – 33,000 | ₹50,000 – 82,000 |
| 5 nights: Udaipur, Kumbhalgarh and Ranakpur | ₹18,500 – 24,000 | ₹27,000 – 37,000 | ₹55,000 – 95,000 |
| 6 nights: Jaipur, Ranthambore safaris and Pushkar | ₹24,000 – 31,000 | ₹36,000 – 49,000 | ₹72,000 – 1,15,000 |
| 6 nights: Ahmedabad, Udaipur and Jodhpur by road | ₹22,500 – 29,500 | ₹34,000 – 46,000 | ₹66,000 – 1,05,000 |
| 8 nights: Jaipur, Jodhpur, Jaisalmer, Udaipur | ₹31,000 – 41,000 | ₹47,000 – 63,000 | ₹95,000 – 1,55,000 |
Airfare from Bengaluru: a return ticket from KIA to Jaipur or Udaipur usually costs about ₹9,000 – 16,000 per person when booked four to six weeks ahead. Flying into one city and home from another is two one-way tickets and tends to cost ₹10,000 – 18,000. Christmas week, the Republic Day weekend and the Pushkar fair raise fares. We price real flights with the package so the car and hotel nights match.
Extra on the ground: Ranthambore safari seats (gypsy or canter, booked through the Forest Department), fort and palace tickets, camera fees at some monuments, the camel or jeep ride at the dunes if not in your plan, lunches and dinners outside the meal plan, and 5% GST on the land package.
Flights and trains from Bengaluru to Rajasthan
Non-stop flights from KIA, as of November 2026
Domestic flights at Kempegowda use both Terminal 1 and Terminal 2 depending on the airline, and the airport is a long ride north at Devanahalli. From Electronic City, Sarjapur Road or Whitefield, allow 1½ to 2 hours in daytime traffic; from Hebbal or Yelahanka, under an hour.
| Rajasthan airport | Non-stop from Bengaluru | Flying time | What it means for the plan |
|---|---|---|---|
| Jodhpur (JDH) | IndiGo daily, leaving about 6.30 am | About 2½ hours | In Jodhpur by about 9 am: a full first day at Mehrangarh. The best start for a desert trip. |
| Udaipur (UDR) | About 17 flights a week on Air India Express, Akasa Air and IndiGo | About 2¼ hours | Departures spread from early morning to late afternoon, so pick the morning one for a lake sunset on day one. |
| Jaipur (JAI) | Several a day | About 2½ hours | The easiest airport to reach and leave; good for Ranthambore and Pushkar. |
| Jaisalmer (JSA) | No non-stop found this winter; a seasonal IndiGo flight ran in 2025–26 | 5 hours or more with a change in Delhi or Mumbai | Usually better to fly to Jodhpur and drive about five hours. |
| Bikaner (BKB) | No non-stop | One-stop only | Reach it by road from Jodhpur or Jaisalmer. |
Airlines change winter schedules often, and the Jodhpur and Udaipur services in particular have been added and dropped between seasons. Treat every time above as "about"; we check the flights for your exact dates before fixing hotel nights.
The long train ride
There is no fast train from Bengaluru to Rajasthan. A handful of weekly or twice-weekly expresses run from KSR Bengaluru, Yesvantpur and Mysuru to Ajmer, Jaipur, Jodhpur and Bikaner, and they take roughly 39 to 45 hours. The Garib Nawaz Express to Ajmer, for example, runs through Hubballi, Pune, Vadodara and Ahmedabad before entering Rajasthan at Abu Road. Running days differ between sources, so check IRCTC before you plan around one.
- The train suits retired couples with time and families with heavy wedding luggage; on a one-week holiday it eats four days.
- A sensible split: fly out to Jodhpur or Jaipur and take the train home, breaking the journey at Ahmedabad if you want a day in Gujarat.
- For Pushkar, Ajmer Junction is 15 km away; for Mount Abu, get off at Abu Road and we meet you with the car.
Three Rajasthan plans built on the Bengaluru flights
4 nights / 5 days – Jodhpur and the Jaisalmer dunes
- Day 1: The 6.30 am IndiGo from KIA reaches Jodhpur around 9 am. Breakfast at the hotel, then Mehrangarh fort before the midday heat, Jaswant Thada, and an evening walk through the Sardar market at the clock tower.

- Day 7: Flight home from Jodhpur.
Every trip here is private and customised: your own car and driver, your own dates and the hotels you pick from our shortlist.
For Bengaluru travellers: desert cold, extra legs and long weekends
The dry desert winter, honestly
Bangalore rarely leaves the 14–34°C band. Rajasthan in December and January swings 20 degrees in a day: 25°C at lunch in Jaisalmer, close to freezing at the dune camp after midnight. The air is dry enough to crack lips. Most wardrobes at home have a light jacket but not thermals; buy a pair, carry a woollen cap and socks for the camp, and ask us for a camp with heated tents or proper quilts. In Jaipur and Udaipur a sweater and a shawl are enough.
Adding Ahmedabad or Mumbai
- Ahmedabad: the plan above uses Gujarat as a gateway. It also works the other way: finish Rajasthan in Udaipur and drive to Ahmedabad for a flight home, or add the Rann of Kutch in its winter season for two nights of white salt desert.
- Mumbai: if you have work or family in Mumbai, fly there first, spend a weekend there, and take a Mumbai–Udaipur or Mumbai–Jaipur flight for the Rajasthan part. Mumbai has more Rajasthan flights than KIA, including a winter service to Jaisalmer, so it can rescue a plan when Bengaluru seats are full. See our Rajasthan packages from Mumbai for those flights.
Karnataka holidays and long weekends, 2026–27
Karnataka schools had their Dasara break from 3 to 21 October 2026, so the next family window is Christmas. After that come Sankranti on 14 January and Republic Day on Tuesday 26 January 2027 – a Monday off makes a four-day weekend, enough for the Jodhpur–Jaisalmer plan. Holi falls on Monday 22 March 2027, a good time to be in Jaipur or Udaipur, and the Karnataka summer break starts around mid-April 2027, when the desert is already too hot. If your company follows a Bengaluru IT holiday list, Ugadi in early April and Kannada Rajyotsava on 1 November are the other days to build around.
Month by month: Rajasthan for travellers from Bangalore
| Month | Rajasthan weather | Bengaluru angle | Prices |
|---|---|---|---|
| November | Clear, 12–30°C; the best all-round month | Kannada Rajyotsava weekend; Pushkar fair 17–24 November 2026 | High in fair week, otherwise medium-high |
| December | Cold nights, crisp days | Christmas school break; book by early November | Highest from 20 December |
| January | Coldest; 3–8°C nights in the desert | Sankranti and Republic Day long weekend; Jaipur Literature Festival 14–18 January 2027 | High in the first half |
| February | Pleasant, warming | Jaisalmer Desert Festival expected around 18–20 February 2027 (not yet official) | Medium-high |
| March | Warm days, 30°C plus by month-end | Holi on 22 March 2027; Karnataka board exams keep families at home | Medium |
| April – June | Very hot, 40°C and above in the desert | Karnataka summer break; choose Mount Abu, or the hills instead | Low |
| July – September | Light monsoon; Udaipur lakes fill, Mewar turns green | Quiet, good-value lake trips for couples | Lowest |
| October | Warm days, cooler nights from mid-month | Karnataka Dasara break; Deepavali; desert camps reopen | Medium, high around Deepavali |
For Bangalore families tied to the summer break, Rajasthan is the wrong choice in May; Udaipur during the Dasara break is green and far cheaper.
Food for South Indian travellers in Rajasthan
Rajasthani food is vegetarian-friendly but wheat, bajra and ghee based. Rice appears on the side rather than at the centre, and that is the adjustment most visitors from the south notice by day three.
- What to try: dal-baati-churma, gatte ki sabzi, ker sangri, bajre ki roti with garlic chutney, kadhi, pyaaz kachori in Jodhpur and Jaipur, and makhaniya lassi. The heat in Jodhpur's mirchi vada is real; ask for less.
- Rice and curd: any good hotel kitchen will make plain rice, dal and curd on request even when it is not on the menu. Ask for it at dinner, and we note it on your hotel vouchers for the whole trip.
- South Indian breakfast: 4- and 5-star hotels in Jaipur, Udaipur and Jodhpur usually have idli, dosa or upma at the buffet. Jaipur and Udaipur also have South Indian restaurants. Dune camps, Kumbhalgarh and small towns do not; expect parathas and poha.
- Coffee: filter coffee is hard to find. Many travellers carry a small jar of decoction powder or instant filter-coffee sachets and ask for hot milk.
- From home: ready-to-eat sambar rice or bisi bele bath pouches, puliyogare mix, podi and pickles travel well and fill the gap on a long drive day.
- Jain and pure-veg: Rajasthan is one of the easiest states for both. Ranakpur, Jaisalmer and Osian have bhojanshalas, and we pass your requirement to every hotel and camp in writing.
Other tips from trips we have planned
- Drink more water than you think; the dry air dehydrates quickly, and two litres in the car is a good habit.
- Fort ramps at Mehrangarh, Amber and Kumbhalgarh are steep and cobbled; wear proper shoes.
- At the dunes, agree the camel or jeep ride time in minutes before you start, not "one round".
- Long drives are planned to end before dark, as two-lane desert roads have cattle and unlit trucks after sunset.

How much does a Rajasthan tour package from Bangalore cost?
Our Rajasthan packages currently start at ₹6,500 per person for 1 nights. Most of our Rajasthan packages fall between ₹25,000 and ₹42,000 per person. The final cost depends on the travel month, hotel category, number of travellers and whether flights from Bangalore are added. Open any package below to see exactly what is included, or ask us for a quote with flights.
Is there a direct flight from Bangalore to Jodhpur?
Yes. As of November 2026 IndiGo flies non-stop from Kempegowda International Airport to Jodhpur once a day, leaving about 6.30 am and landing around 9 am. That gives you a full first day at Mehrangarh. It is a single daily flight, so we check it is running on your dates before fixing the plan.
Can I fly from Bangalore to Jaisalmer without a stop?
Not this winter, as far as current schedule data shows. IndiGo ran a seasonal non-stop in 2025–26, but as of November 2026 the route needs a change in Delhi or Mumbai. Most travellers fly to Jodhpur instead and drive about five hours to Jaisalmer, which also lets you see Jodhpur on the way.
Which Rajasthan city is best to fly into from Bengaluru?
Jodhpur for a desert trip, because the early flight lands by 9 am and Jaisalmer is a day drive away. Udaipur for lakes, palaces and Kumbhalgarh, with about 17 flights a week. Jaipur for Ranthambore and Pushkar, with several flights a day. Flying into one and out of another saves a long drive back.
Is there a train from Bangalore to Rajasthan?
Yes, but it is slow. Weekly or twice-weekly expresses run from KSR Bengaluru, Yesvantpur and Mysuru to Ajmer, Jaipur, Jodhpur and Bikaner, taking roughly 39 to 45 hours through Pune and Ahmedabad. It suits retired travellers and large families with luggage; most people fly at least one way.
How many days are enough for Rajasthan from Bangalore?
Four nights covers Jodhpur and a Jaisalmer desert camp. Five or six nights gives a relaxed Udaipur trip, or Jaipur with Ranthambore and Pushkar. Eight nights covers Jaipur, Jodhpur, Jaisalmer and Udaipur without rushing. With about two and a half hours of flying each way, even a long weekend works.
How cold is Rajasthan in winter for someone from Bengaluru?
Colder than most Bengaluru travellers expect. Days are 22 to 27°C, but desert camps fall to 3 to 8°C at night in December and January, and old havelis have little heating. Pack thermals, a woollen cap, socks and a proper jacket for Jaisalmer; a sweater and shawl are enough in Jaipur and Udaipur.
Will we get South Indian food in Rajasthan?
In larger hotels and in Jaipur and Udaipur, yes: idli, dosa and upma are common at breakfast buffets and there are South Indian restaurants. In desert camps and small towns the menu is North Indian. Plain rice, dal and curd can be made on request anywhere, and we note it on your vouchers.
Can we combine Rajasthan with Ahmedabad on one trip?
Yes, and it is easy. Fly from Bengaluru to Ahmedabad, spend a day in the old city, and drive about five hours to Udaipur. Continue through Kumbhalgarh and Ranakpur to Jodhpur and fly home from there. Winter visitors can add the Rann of Kutch for two nights before crossing into Rajasthan.
When should Bangalore families visit Rajasthan?
The Christmas holidays and the January long weekends are the best family windows, with cool days and clear skies. The Karnataka Dasara break in October also works, though early October is warm. Avoid the summer break from mid-April, when the desert passes 40°C; choose the hills for that holiday instead.
Is a Ranthambore safari worth adding from Bengaluru?
If wildlife matters to you, yes. Ranthambore is about 3½ hours from Jaipur, and two nights there allows two or three safaris, which gives a fair chance of a tiger without any guarantee. Safari seats are released by the Forest Department and sell out for winter weekends, so confirm early.
Do you have an office in Bangalore?
No. Our team of about 18 works from C G Road in Ahmedabad. Travellers plan with us on WhatsApp, phone or video call, Monday to Saturday, and receive the itinerary, invoice and vouchers as PDFs. During the trip a support line on WhatsApp is answered round the clock.
