Rajasthan 5 Day Itinerary: who it suits
Five days in Rajasthan works if you limit yourself to two cities. Jaipur and Udaipur contrast nicely: forts and bazaars on one hand, lakes and palaces on the other.
The road between them takes most of a day, so many travellers fly or take the train.
Best suited to: Short trips for first-timers who want one fort city and one lake city.
