Arrive in Udaipur and begin the journey into Mewar. Rather than rushing straight into sightseeing, the first day is intentionally slow.

Drive towards Kumbhalgarh through the Aravalli landscape, with the roads gradually opening into quieter hills. Reach Kumbhalgarh, check in to your hotel and settle into the surroundings.

The afternoon is for doing very little. Take a walk around the property, enjoy the surrounding hills, have tea and simply ease into the rhythm of Rajasthan.

Stay - Hotel, Kumbhalgarh; Meals - Dinner

Start the morning with breakfast before heading to Kumbhalgarh Fort, making this a good time to explore its enormous gateways, palace complex, temples and ramparts without rushing.

Take in the sweeping views across the Aravallis before continuing towards Ranakpur. Visit the spectacular Jain temple complex, known for its extraordinary marble architecture and intricate pillars. After exploring the temple, stop for lunch before continuing towards Jawai.

Reach Jawai check in, unpack, shower, have tea or snacks and actually enjoy the camp before heading out again for your first Jawai safari. As the light softens, the granite hills and scrub landscape transform into leopard country.

Return to camp after sunset and settle in for dinner.

Stay - Wilderness Camp, Jawai; Meals - Breakfast & Dinner

Wake up early for your second Jawai safari. The morning is when Jawai feels completely different. Quieter, cooler and slowly coming alive as the first light reaches the granite hills. The safari takes you through leopard habitat while also revealing the pastoral landscape and communities that have lived alongside the wildlife for generations.

Return to camp for breakfast and keep the middle of the day deliberately slow. Rest, read, enjoy the property, have lunch and take a break from the road.

Later, head towards Jawai Dam or a suitable sunset viewpoint. This is not another safari. It is about experiencing Jawai’s landscape, water, granite hills, birds, livestock and changing colours while enjoying tea or hi-tea as the sun goes down.

Return to camp for dinner.

Stay - Wilderness Camp, Jawai; Meals - Breakfast, Lunch, Hi-Tea & Dinner

Rise early for your third and final Jawai safari. Return to camp for breakfast and enjoy a relaxed morning before checking out.

Drive towards Chittorgarh, passing through the changing countryside of Rajasthan. Reach Chittorgarh, check in to your hotel and take the evening slowly.

After the intensity of Jawai, this is deliberately a quieter transition into one of Rajasthan’s most important historic cities.

Stay - Hotel, Chittorgarh; Meals - Breakfast & Dinner

After breakfast, spend the morning exploring Chittorgarh Fort, a landscape of Rajput history, resistance, temples, palaces, towers and stories. Explore the major monuments within the fort, including Vijay Stambh, Kirti Stambh, Rana Kumbha Palace, Meera Temple, Padmini Palace, historic gateways and reservoirs.

Take a break for lunch before driving towards Udaipur. Reach Udaipur and check in to your hotel. After some time to rest, head into the old city for an evening around Lake Pichola and the historic ghats.

Watch the city light up as the sun goes down and end the day with dinner at the hotel.

Stay - Hotel, Udaipur; Meals - Breakfast & Dinner

The final morning is intentionally unhurried. Have breakfast and spend the morning exploring more of Udaipur.
