Today is dedicated to Jaipur's regal fortifications. Start with the sweeping views from Nahargarh Fort and the sight of the world's largest cannon at Jaigarh Fort. Marvel at the dazzling Sheesh Mahal within Amer Fort. Stop for photos at the stunning, symmetrical Panna Meena ka Kund stepwell and the serene Jal Mahal. Admire the white marble of Birla Temple before an evening transfer to Chokhi Dhani for an authentic Rajasthani dinner and cultural village experience.

DAY 3: Transfer to Bikaner & Rat Temple.
