Day 03 Mandawa Paintings, Haveli’s & Frescos
Drive to Shekhawati Region, a cluster of closely knit small towns and villages. Unlike other places in Rajasthan where the main attraction is generally forts and palaces, Shekhawati is known for its painted walls. The whole region is dotted with elaborately frescoed Havelis (mansions) most of which were raised by ace Indian businessmen who belonged to this place. It appears as if one is moving in an open-air Art Gallery.
Day 04 Bikaner The Desert Citadel
Drive to the desert citadel – “Bikaner”. Start the day by visiting the unusual Junagarh Fort. Unusual because, unlike all the major forts of Rajasthan which are on hilltops, this one was built on the desert plains itself.
Also visit the Lalgarh museum, camel breeding farm and famous rat temple at Deshnok.
Day 05 Jaisalmer The Golden Oasis
Drive to reach the golden oasis called Jaisalmer. Here it appears as if a master-craftsman took one huge piece of sandstone and patiently carved out the entire city. For the second half of the day we explore the beautiful man-made lake Gadsisar (the only source of water Jaisalmer had for years) & the royal cenotaphs at Bada Bagh.
