8 days in Rajasthan. out of these cities, please help me choose!

Hi wonderful people.
I have been going crazy trying to research this stuff, coming in pretty new to India. This is quite a special trip for me, and I want to know what you experienced India veterans think.
I have between Christmas Day and Jan 2 to see the best of Rajasthan. I have been recommended these cities by a close friend.
Udaipur, Jodhpur, Jaisalmer, Bundi, Pushkar.
Now I do only have around 8 days, so I don't mind just doing 3. I was thinking flying into Udaipur Christmas day.
25, 26, 27 Udaipur
28, 29 Jodhpur
30, 31, 1st Jaisalmer
overnight train 1st-2nd to Delhi
Fly out to HK.

I don't really want to be overwhelmed by a huge city and have to waste so much time getting oriented.
Ideally, I'm looking for a unique Indian experience with cool architecture, great food, wandering around and taking it all in.

Any thoughts? I really do appreciate the time you guys put in.

Steve

Hi Steveb, I am going to be in Rajasthan around the same time with a friend and it's my first time there too - although not first time in India.

We will be in Jaipur from 25th - 27th Dec and Udaipur on 28th and 29th.

It would be nice to share the experience with other people.

I speak a good amount of Hindi and Urdu too but I think English is widely spoken in many places.

Do let me if this fits with your plans. Cheers :-)
