Mumbai to Udaipur to Jodhpur to Jaisalmer to Jaipur to Agra to Delhi
Mumbai's ambition, the golden desert of Rajasthan, blue and pink cities, and the Taj Mahal at first light.
Heritage connection
The West trip has a Gujarat swap option that replaces the Agra segment with Ahmedabad and the Rann of Kutch. Worth knowing if the Taj isn't the priority and you want to go somewhere with more specific meaning.
The base West route runs through Rajasthan and finishes at the Taj Mahal, genuinely worth doing once. But the Gujarat module swap, built around Sabarmati Ashram, Ahmedabad’s old city pols and the white salt desert of the Rann of Kutch, is the version of this trip built specifically for Gujarati heritage, not an add-on to a Rajasthan itinerary.
