3 Places to Visit on the Road to Udaipur
On day 11 of our Gate 1 Travel – 15 Day Classic India with Ranthambore itinerary, we departed the Ranbanka Palace Hotel in Jodhpur right after breakfast. We were off on our nearly 300-kilometer journey to the beautiful lake city of Udaipur. Along the way, we stopped a few places you don’t want to miss….
Ranbanka Palace Hotel – Jodhpur
Our short stay in Jodhpur was filled with a visit to Jaswant Thada, followed by a full afternoon at the fantastic Mehrangarh Fort. At the end of our day, we retired to the Ranbanka Palace Hotel for dinner with our traveling companions and a good night’s sleep before heading off to the lake city…
Mehrangarh Fort – Jodhpur, India
Mehrangarh Fort was built in 1459, mainly of red sandstone. It is often called the “Citadel of the Sun.” It is one of the most impressive forts in Rajasthan and one of India’s best-preserved forts.

Two Nights in Jaipur: Radisson Jaipur
We probably mentioned previously that before booking any of our travel packages we research all of the accommodations. This was our fourth Gate 1 Travel tour and the hotels have never let us down. Originally, this tour package showed us staying at one of the Trident Hotel properties in Jaipur. However, somewhere it was changed…
Bollywood and Bazaars in Jaipur
We spent an awesome afternoon experiencing a Bollywood movie in an iconic cinema and shopping in a local Jaipur bazaar
Accommodations in Ranthambore
We have always been thrilled with the hotel selections on our Gate 1 Travel packages, and our Classic India package, aside from a few REALLY hard beds, was no exception. We typically research to see where we’ll be having breakfast and to check out their spa treatments as we know that generally the days…
