Rajasthan is India’s largest state, the land of forts, palaces, desert and colour. Jaipur, the Pink City, is its capital, Udaipur sits on its lakes in the south, Jodhpur lies below the Mehrangarh fort on the edge of the Thar desert, and Jaisalmer rises out of the sand near the Pakistan border.
Most people we book to Rajasthan are going for one of three reasons: a first proper holiday in India, a palace or destination wedding, or a family visit to Marwari and Rajasthani relatives. Each needs a slightly different route, and the right airport can save a whole day of travelling.
Rajasthan is also easy to combine with Delhi and Agra on the Golden Triangle, or with Gujarat to the south. We regularly put together open-jaw trips that fly into one city and home from another, so nobody has to double back.
We’ve booked thousands of trips to India for UK families, and most of our business still comes from people who were sent to us by someone we looked after before.
I needed to fly to India urgently after finding out a family member was unwell. I called Patel Travel and they helped me find a suitable flight at short notice. They explained the different options and made a stressful situation much easier. Really grateful for their help.
Jay P. CroydonWe were travelling to India with my elderly parents and needed wheelchair assistance at the airport. The team at Patel Travel took care of the arrangements and helped us choose flights with convenient connection times. It was reassuring having someone we could actually speak to.
Chandani S. HarrowI usually book flights online, but thought I’d give Patel Travel a call before booking our family trip to India. They found us a better option than the ones I’d been looking at and explained the baggage allowances clearly. The whole process was straightforward and the service was excellent.

Not sure which flight suits your dates?
Tell us who is travelling and when. We will say honestly whether direct works, or which connection we would put our own family on.
Jaipur International Airport (JAI) is at Sanganer, about 10 km south of the city centre. It handles most of the state’s air traffic and is the obvious choice for Jaipur, Ajmer, Pushkar and the Shekhawati towns.
Udaipur’s Maharana Pratap Airport (UDR) is at Dabok, about 22 km north-east of the city, and suits Udaipur, Kumbhalgarh and Mount Abu. Jodhpur (JDH) is close to the city and is the best gateway for Jodhpur and, with a long drive, Jaisalmer. Tell us where you are going and we will pick the one that keeps the road journey shortest.
October to March is the best time to visit, with warm, sunny days and cool nights. December and January can be chilly in the desert after dark, so pack layers. It is also peak season for tourists and weddings, so palace hotels and flights book up early.
Diwali, usually in October or November, is spectacular in Jaipur, when the bazaars are lit up. The Pushkar camel fair takes place around the Kartik full moon in October or November, and the Jaipur Literature Festival is held each January.
April to June is extremely hot, often over 40°C, and the monsoon from July to September brings rain to the south and east of the state. Fares are lower then, and Udaipur’s lakes are at their fullest after the rains.
Rajasthan is big, and journeys by road take longer than they look. Jaipur to Udaipur is around six to seven hours by car, and Jodhpur to Jaisalmer about five. Many visitors hire a car and driver for the whole trip, and trains link the main cities if you prefer.
A first-time route often runs Delhi, Agra and Jaipur, then on to Jodhpur and Udaipur, flying home from Udaipur or back via Delhi. Ranthambore, near Sawai Madhopur, is the place to look for tigers and fits neatly between Jaipur and Agra.
For Jaipur in detail, see our guide to flights to Jaipur, and for the main connecting city, flights to Delhi. Heading south afterwards? See flights to Gujarat.
Prefer it all arranged? Our Rajasthan tour, Golden Triangle tour and Taj and tigers tour include flights, hotels and a driver.

We work with all major airlines and can help with the best routes, stopovers and fares for your dates.
Fares to India move with the festival calendar and the school holidays. For Diwali, Navratri and the Christmas peak we would normally say book several months out; outside those windows there is far more flexibility. Call us and we will tell you honestly whether to book now or wait.
We work with all the major carriers on this route, both direct and one-stop. Which is best depends on your dates, your baggage and how much the stopover matters to you, which is exactly the sort of thing worth a two-minute conversation.
Yes. Multi-city is one of the things we are genuinely useful for - flying into one city and out of another often costs less than two separate returns, and it is awkward to book yourself.
We can point you to what you need for Indian visas and OCI, and flag anything on your itinerary that commonly causes problems at check-in.
No. Every route has one stop, usually in Delhi, where the flight on to Jaipur takes about fifty minutes, or in Abu Dhabi with Etihad.
Jaipur for the north and east of the state, Udaipur for the south and Mount Abu, and Jodhpur for the west and the road to Jaisalmer.
Yes. You fly to Delhi or Mumbai and connect to a domestic flight to Udaipur, all on one booking. Udaipur has no international flights.
October to March. April to June is very hot and the monsoon runs from July to September.
Yes. We can hold group seats, arrange arrivals on the same flights and check baggage for outfits and gifts.
Most people fly to Jodhpur and drive about five hours, or take the train. We will check whether any domestic flights to Jaisalmer suit your dates.
Yes. An open-jaw ticket, into Jaipur or Udaipur and out of Delhi, is often the most efficient way to see the state.
