ashramgirl

Hi guys! Is my first time to India, i am going for a yoga TTC in Nasik witch ends december 10 i am planning to visit as much as i can in Rajasthan, maybe talking a flight from Mumbai to Jaipur?
I would love to see Jaipur, Jaisalmer, Udaipur, Jodpur and Agra...my flight back is Dec 27 from Delhi...but as i am travelling solo some people told me was beter to skip Delhi... so i was just palnning to get my flight there.

You think i have time to visit all?
Any advice of the easier way to do it?
And if it is not enought time, what cities would you give priority?

Thanx!!!!

I'm not sure why as a solo traveller you shouldn't visit Delhi. I'd say give yourself at least a day to do the main sights there.
In 17 days you can do a Rajasthan whip-around- not much time to really relax though. Something like:

Fly Mumbai to Udaipur (Jet Airways and Indian Air do this route).
3 nights Udaipur
2 nights Jodhpur (no direct trains Udaipur - Jodhpur so get a taxi)
3 nights Jaisalmer (direct day train Jodh - Jais)
Take the overnight train to Jaipur
3 nights Jaipur (train to Agra)
2 nights Agra (train to Delhi)
2 nights Delhi

That's 16 nights and you can obviously move them around to suit where you'd like to see more or less of. This is enough to see the main sights in each place at a reasonable pace. If you wanted to drop somewhere logistically I'd say Jaisalmer. In terms of interest value, probably Jodhpur but that's just my opinion.

Have a browse about- there are loads of other threads on Rajasthan itineraries. Here's one:
