Need help with 8 day trip in Rajasthan

Hi,

I'm planning a trip to Rajasthan in November and would love your help. I've always wanted to go to India, so I want this trip to be great.

I'll be hiring a car with a driver for most of the trip, except for the train we'll take from Jaipur-Jaisalmer.Is there something I'm missing? Is it too much to do in 7 nights? Any other suggestions?

Nov.9th - Fly from Mumbai to Jaipur
Nov. 10th - Jaipur and take night train to Jaisalmer
Nov. 11th - Jaisalmer
Nov 12th - Jaisalmer
Nov. 13th - Drive from Jaisalmer to Jodhpur
Nov. 14th - Jodhpur
Nov.15th - Drive from Jodhpur to Udaipur
Nov 16th - Fly from Udaipur to Goa

Thank you so much!
Mariana

Read back a few posts for similar posts. Most responses are that the OP is travelling long distances to spend very little time at each destination. Jaisalmer to Jodhpur is at least 6 hours. Ditto to Udaipur. Jodhpur for a day? Udaipur for a day?

Not too bad but time will be tight at destinations. You'll get to see the must-sees in Jodhpur and Jaipur but you won't get much time to experience the towns.
Shame you haven't got an extra couple of days to spend longer in Jodhpur and Udaipur. I loved both of those towns.

So which bit confused you there then Oceantragic?! I was saying that a few people have recently posted questions re seeing the same places (mentioned here) on a very tight schedule ... and that the responses have been along the lines of too much time travelling for too little time at each place. I don't think people realize how long and tiring the journeys are. Effectively a day lost on just travelling to each destination ... and recovering from the journey!

Thank you so much for your help. I think you are both right, so I've decided to cut Jaipur and just do Udaipur - Jodhpur - Jaisalmer - Khuri.
Thanks again!
