Rajasthan Tour Packages from Mumbai
Fly from Mumbai into Udaipur or Jaisalmer, travel the state in your own car and fly home from Jaipur – no backtracking, with time for a native village or a kuldevi temple on the way.
Rajasthan is the one big North Indian holiday that Mumbai can reach almost entirely on non-stop flights. Udaipur is about an hour and a quarter from Mumbai, Jaipur and Jodhpur under two hours, and this winter there is also a daily seasonal flight from Mumbai to Jaisalmer. That changes how a Rajasthan trip from Mumbai should be shaped: instead of a loop that returns to one airport, you fly into one city, drive across the state with your own car and driver, and fly home from another. Nobody spends the last day on a 600 km drive back.
A large share of the Rajasthan trips we plan for Mumbai families also have a personal purpose: a visit to the family's native village in Marwar or Shekhawati, a mundan at the kuldevi temple, or darshan at Nathdwara, Khatu Shyamji or Salasar on the way. This page covers what a Rajasthan package from Mumbai costs without flights, which Mumbai airport and station serves which Rajasthan city, three day-wise plans timed to the actual Mumbai departures, how to fit a native-place visit into a holiday, a month table that follows Maharashtra's school calendar, and practical notes on food and packing. Flight details are as of November 2026.

Rajasthan package price guide from Mumbai (2026–27 season)
Our Rajasthan packages start at ₹6,500 per person, and 24 are on sale today. The bands below are per person on twin sharing for two to four travellers sharing one car. They include hotels with breakfast, a private AC car with driver from your arrival airport to your departure airport, fuel, tolls, parking and the driver's allowance. They do not include flights or trains from Mumbai.
| Trip from Mumbai | Standard (3-star) | Deluxe (4-star / heritage haveli) | Premium (5-star / palace hotel) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3 nights: Udaipur with Nathdwara or Kumbhalgarh | ₹11,000 – 15,000 | ₹17,000 – 24,000 | ₹35,000 – 60,000 |
| 4 nights: Jaisalmer (one night in a desert camp) and Jodhpur | ₹16,500 – 21,500 | ₹24,000 – 32,000 | ₹48,000 – 80,000 |
| 6 nights: into Udaipur, out of Jaipur via Jodhpur and Pushkar | ₹22,000 – 29,000 | ₹33,000 – 45,000 | ₹68,000 – 1,10,000 |
| 9 nights: Udaipur, Jodhpur, Jaisalmer, Bikaner, Shekhawati, Jaipur | ₹33,000 – 43,000 | ₹50,000 – 66,000 | ₹1,00,000 – 1,60,000 |
Flights from Mumbai: a return ticket to Udaipur or Jaipur usually costs about ₹7,000 – 13,000 per person when booked four to six weeks ahead. An open-jaw trip (into one city, out of another) is two one-way tickets and usually lands in a similar range, ₹7,500 – 15,000. Diwali week, the Christmas–New Year fortnight and the Pushkar fair push fares higher, and the seasonal Jaisalmer flight fills quickly in December. We quote flights with the package so the car is waiting when you land.
Extra on the ground: palace and fort tickets, the Lake Pichola boat, camel or jeep rides at the dunes if not included, Ranthambore safari seats, lunches and dinners outside the meal plan, temple offerings and 5% GST. A one-way car (dropping in a different city from where it started) costs a little more than a loop because the vehicle has to return empty; that is already inside the open-jaw rows above.
Getting to Rajasthan from Mumbai: airports, flights and trains
Which Mumbai airport
Mumbai now has two airports. Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International (BOM) handles domestic flights from both Terminal 1 at Santacruz and Terminal 2 at Sahar, depending on the airline, and the new Navi Mumbai International (NMI) at Ulwe carries a growing list of IndiGo and Air India Express routes. For families in Thane, Kharghar, Panvel or Vashi, NMI can be much the shorter drive; for western suburbs, BOM usually wins. Your ticket names the airport and terminal, and we print it again on the itinerary.
Non-stop flights from Mumbai, as of November 2026
| Rajasthan airport | From Mumbai | Flying time | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Udaipur (UDR) | Several daily from BOM; IndiGo daily from NMI from 15 November 2026 | About 1¼ – 1½ hours | The NMI flight is scheduled to leave about 10 am and land before 11.30 am, which leaves a full afternoon in Udaipur |
| Jaipur (JAI) | Many daily from BOM, also from NMI | About 1¾ – 2 hours | The best exit airport for a west-to-east trip |
| Jodhpur (JDH) | About two a day from BOM | About 1¾ hours | Departures from Mumbai are mostly early morning to midday |
| Jaisalmer (JSA) | Air India daily, seasonal, from 25 October 2026 | About 1 hour 40 minutes | Scheduled to leave Mumbai about 10 am; winter only, so check before planning a spring trip |
| Bikaner (BKB) | No non-stop found; one-stop only | 5 hours or more | Easier to reach Bikaner by road from Jodhpur, about 4½ hours |
Schedules change through the season, so treat the timings above as a guide. We check the actual flights for your dates before fixing hotel nights.
By train
- Bandra Terminus is the main station for Rajasthan: overnight trains run to Udaipur City, Jodhpur and Jaisalmer, passing through Gujarat. Udaipur and Jodhpur take most of a night and a morning; Jaisalmer is closer to a full day.
- Mumbai Central and Bandra Terminus to Jaipur take roughly 17 to 19 hours. Some Jaipur trains run via Kota and Sawai Madhopur, which is useful if Ranthambore is on your plan. We did not find a Vande Bharat or Rajdhani running between Mumbai and Jaipur as of November 2026.
- Lokmanya Tilak Terminus (Kurla) has trains to Bikaner and some Jaipur services. The three terminals are an hour or more apart in traffic, so check yours twice.
- Trains suit seniors who dislike flying and large joint families carrying luggage for a function at the native place. A common split is train out, flight home.
By road
Mumbai to Udaipur is about 750 – 800 km by NH 48 through Gujarat, 13 to 15 hours of driving. The Delhi–Mumbai Expressway does not yet run continuously from Mumbai: the southern Gujarat packages towards Maharashtra are targeted for March 2028. A self-drive is possible over two days with a night in Vadodara or Ahmedabad, but for most families flying and taking a local car is faster and not much more expensive.
Three Rajasthan itineraries timed for Mumbai flights

The nine-night circuit adds Jaisalmer, Bikaner's Junagarh fort and Karni Mata temple at Deshnoke, and a night among the painted havelis of Mandawa or Nawalgarh before Jaipur. Every trip is private and customised: your own car and driver, your dates and your hotels.
Native place, kuldevi and darshan: Rajasthan trips for Mumbai families
Many Marwari, Jain and Gujarati families in Mumbai still have roots in a Rajasthan village – in Pali, Jalore and Barmer, in Nagaur and Bikaner, or in Shekhawati around Jhunjhunu and Sikar. A Rajasthan holiday is often the time for a visit to the family temple, a mundan or jadula ceremony, or simply to show the children where their grandparents grew up. These trips need different planning from a palace-and-fort tour.
- Tell us the village and the temple, not just the district. Rural roads, the last 20 km and where the car can park all change the day's timing. We plan the route with a driver who knows that area.
- Kuldevi and family temples we are often asked to include: Sachiya Mata at Osian near Jodhpur, Karni Mata at Deshnoke near Bikaner, Rani Sati at Jhunjhunu, Jeen Mata and Khatu Shyamji in Sikar district, Salasar Balaji, Ramdevra near Pokaran, and Jain tirths such as Nakoda, Ranakpur and Osian's Mahavir temple.
- Pick the right airport for the village. For Pali, Jalore or Osian, fly Mumbai–Jodhpur. For Shekhawati, Khatu Shyamji or Salasar, fly into Jaipur. For Mewar villages and Nathdwara, Udaipur. For Ramdevra and Barmer, the winter Jaisalmer flight helps.
- Ceremony days: if a havan or mundan has a fixed muhurat, we hold that day free and put sightseeing either side of it. For a larger family function we arrange a Tempo Traveller or several cars, with the family travelling as a private group on its own dates.
- Combine with a holiday: a village visit near Jodhpur fits easily into the Jaisalmer plan above; a Shekhawati temple fits between Bikaner and Jaipur. The children get the forts and the desert camp, the elders get their darshan.
Diwali, Christmas and Mumbai's calendar
Maharashtra's school Diwali vacation this year ran from 2 to 14 November 2026, and the Pushkar fair follows straight after, from 17 to 24 November 2026. The next big window is Christmas: many Mumbai schools close for a week to ten days around 25 December, and Rajasthan's desert camps, Udaipur lake hotels and the Mumbai–Jaisalmer flight are at their busiest between 24 December and 1 January. For that fortnight book eight to ten weeks ahead. The Jaisalmer Desert Festival is expected around 18 to 20 February 2027, timed to Magh Purnima; the official dates were not out as of November 2026.
Month by month: Rajasthan for travellers from Mumbai
| Month | Rajasthan weather | Mumbai angle | Prices |
|---|---|---|---|
| January | Cold nights, 3–8°C in the desert; sunny days | Republic Day long weekend; desert camps at their best | High in the first week, then medium |
| February | Pleasant; Desert Festival in Jaisalmer | Good for couples and seniors before the exam season | Medium-high |
| March | Warming; Holi in Udaipur and Jaipur | Board exams keep most families at home | Medium |
| April | Hot in the plains, 35–40°C | Short Udaipur trips only | Low |
| May | Very hot outside Mount Abu | Maharashtra summer vacation from 2 May; better spent in the hills than the desert | Low except Mount Abu |
| June | Hot, pre-monsoon | Schools reopen mid-June; Mumbai's own monsoon begins | Lowest |
| July – August | Lighter monsoon than Mumbai; Udaipur's lakes fill | A dry-ish break from Mumbai rain; allow for weather delays at the Mumbai airports | Low |
| September | Green Mewar, humid | Ganeshotsav holidays; Udaipur and Kumbhalgarh look their best | Low-medium |
| October | Clear and warm | Navratri and Dussehra; desert camps reopen | Medium, high near Diwali |
| November | Ideal; Pushkar fair | Diwali vacation; best all-round month | High |
| December | Cold desert nights | Christmas school break; the Jaisalmer flight is in full swing | Highest from 20 December |
Mumbai travellers are often caught out by the cold. A Jaisalmer camp in January can drop close to freezing at night, far colder than anything in Mumbai, and heritage havelis rarely have central heating. From December to February ask for heated tents and pack proper winter layers.
Food and practical tips for Mumbai travellers in Rajasthan
Vegetarian and Jain food
- Rajasthan is largely vegetarian. Dal-baati-churma, gatte ki sabzi, ker sangri, bajra roti and kadhi are on every thali, and most good hotels will make Jain versions on request.
- Jodhpur, Jaisalmer, Bikaner and the Jain tirths have bhojanshalas serving Jain meals at fixed hours; Udaipur and Jaipur have plenty of Gujarati and Marwari thali restaurants.
- Desert camps cook in bulk; we send your pure-veg or Jain requirement in writing so a separate plate is prepared. Options in small Shekhawati towns are simpler but still vegetarian.
- If the family is used to Mumbai's Marwari home food, the cooking in Pali, Nagaur or Bikaner districts will feel familiar; the spice level in Jodhpur's mirchi vada and kachori is higher than most Mumbai versions.
Packing and on the road
- Desert air is dry: carry lip balm, moisturiser and a refillable water bottle, and drink more than you would in humid Mumbai.
- Comfortable shoes for fort ramps and cobbles; a scarf or stole for temples and dusty dune rides; sunglasses and a cap in every season.
- UPI works almost everywhere; keep some cash for temple offerings, parking and village shops.
- Agree camel, jeep and boat prices before you start. Long drives are planned to finish by dusk because of cattle and unlit trucks on two-lane roads.
- Heritage havelis often have steep stairs and no lift; for seniors we check this before booking and choose ground-floor rooms where possible.

How much does a Rajasthan tour package from Mumbai 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 Mumbai 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 Mumbai to Udaipur?
Yes. Several non-stop flights a day connect Mumbai (BOM) with Udaipur in about 1¼ to 1½ hours, and IndiGo added a daily Navi Mumbai–Udaipur flight from 15 November 2026, scheduled to leave about 10 am. A morning departure gives you the afternoon in Udaipur for the City Palace and a sunset boat on Lake Pichola.
Can I fly from Mumbai to Jaisalmer?
Yes, in winter. Air India started a daily seasonal Mumbai–Jaisalmer flight on 25 October 2026, taking about 1 hour 40 minutes. It is a winter service, so for travel after March check whether it is still running; otherwise fly to Jodhpur and drive about five hours to Jaisalmer.
What is an open-jaw Rajasthan trip from Mumbai?
You fly from Mumbai into one city, such as Udaipur or Jaisalmer, travel across the state in your own car and fly home from another, usually Jaipur or Jodhpur. Two one-way tickets cost about the same as a return, and you save a long drive back. It is how we plan most Rajasthan trips from Mumbai.
Which train goes from Mumbai to Udaipur?
Overnight trains run from Bandra Terminus to Udaipur City through Gujarat, arriving the next morning or midday. They suit seniors who prefer not to fly and families carrying luggage. We meet you at Udaipur City station with the car. Book early for Diwali and Christmas, when these trains fill weeks ahead.
How long is the train from Mumbai to Jaipur?
Roughly 17 to 19 hours from Mumbai Central or Bandra Terminus. Some trains run via Kota and Sawai Madhopur, which helps if Ranthambore is part of the plan. As of November 2026 we did not find a Vande Bharat or Rajdhani on the Mumbai–Jaipur route, so for short trips the flight of about two hours is far quicker.
Can we drive from Mumbai to Rajasthan?
Yes, but it is long. Mumbai to Udaipur is about 750 to 800 km on NH 48, 13 to 15 hours of driving, best split with a night in Vadodara or Ahmedabad. The Delhi–Mumbai Expressway is not yet continuous at the Mumbai end, with the last Gujarat packages targeted for 2028. Most families fly and use a local car.
How many days are enough for Rajasthan from Mumbai?
Three nights covers Udaipur. Four nights covers Jaisalmer with a desert camp and Jodhpur. Six nights covers Udaipur, Jodhpur, Pushkar and Jaipur flying in and out of different cities. Nine nights adds Jaisalmer, Bikaner and Shekhawati, and leaves room for a native village or kuldevi visit.
Can you include a visit to our native village or kuldevi temple?
Yes. Give us the village and temple name, and any ceremony date such as a mundan or havan. We pick the nearest airport from Mumbai, plan the rural roads with a driver who knows the area and keep the ceremony day free. Osian, Deshnoke, Jhunjhunu, Khatu Shyamji and Salasar are frequent requests.
When is the best time to visit Rajasthan from Mumbai?
October to March. November, after the Diwali vacation, is the best all-round month and has the Pushkar fair; December and January are coldest and busiest, with Christmas the peak for desert camps. Avoid April to June in the desert. During Mumbai's monsoon, Udaipur and Mewar are green and quiet.
Should I fly from Mumbai airport or Navi Mumbai airport?
Whichever is closer and has a flight that suits your plan. Navi Mumbai is easier for Thane, Kharghar, Panvel and Vashi, and has a daily Udaipur flight; BOM has more flights to Jaipur and Jodhpur. Check whether your BOM flight uses Terminal 1 or Terminal 2, as both handle domestic departures.
How early should we book a Christmas trip to Rajasthan from Mumbai?
Eight to ten weeks ahead. Between 24 December and 1 January desert camps, Udaipur lake-view hotels and the Mumbai–Jaisalmer flight sell out, and fares from Mumbai climb sharply in the last month. If your dates are flexible, travelling in the first half of December costs noticeably less with the same weather.
