How to Choose the best Rajasthan Holiday Packages?

With so many tour operators offering so many deals, it becomes difficult to choose the best Rajasthan holiday packages. Hence, it is imperative that you weigh the pros and cons of all the tour operators before you select Rajasthan holiday packages for yourself and your family.

Following are the top seven parameters on the basis of which you can compare the various tour operators and make an informed choice:

1. Duration: Tenure does matter: Check the duration of the various Rajasthan holiday packages. Since Rajasthan is a big state, in fact the largest state in India area wise, it takes a week at the minimum to explore this vast state. Anything less than a week, you shouldn't be considering at all. Some tour operators have a five or a six days package. This spoils the fun and leaves you dissatisfied.

2. Food: Most tour operators include the cost of food in the ticket price whereas some tour operators exclude the food cost. It is advisable to check with your tour operator offering Rajasthan holiday packages about food cost beforehand rather than facing surprises, later, in the tour. Some tour operators offer only Indian vegetarian meals. Make sure you look at the menu also before deciding on the tour operator offering Rajasthan holiday packages.

3. Places to visit: Rajasthan has many places of interest. From the scenic Mount Abu, to the dangerous Ranthambore and from beautiful Jaipur to royal Jodhpur, the state boasts of some of the most beautiful cities, forts and palaces in the country. But not all tour operators operating Rajasthan holiday packages would travel to all the attractions in the state. Compare which operator serves the maximum destinations. Moreover, check the duration of stay at these places. Most tour operators try to cram as many attractions as possible in the tour and in the bargain, you get enough time just to click a family photo and move on to the next destination. Avoid such tour operators. Prefer those who have allotted enough time to each attraction so that you can really enjoy the history and culture of the place.

4. Accommodation: Since you would be spending a major part of holiday on the road, it is important that you select a tour operator who has arranged for a decent accommodation for resting your tired souls. Compare the various amenities offered by the hotels and which ones you really want. Compare the prices as well.

5. Side trips: Most tour operators operating Rajasthan holiday packages include side trips to Delhi, Agra and Fatehpur Sikri. These are bonus attractions. Check if your tour includes these in the itinerary.

6. Visit to the fairs: The Pushkar Fair organised every year in November and the Mewar fair organised in March are important events in the tourist calendar. The events are scheduled to coincide with peak tourist seasons. Check which all Rajasthan holiday packages offer a visit to these two festivals. The ones which don't offer either of these two need to be taken off the list immediately.

7. Value for money: Not all Rajasthan holiday packages are meant for the budget traveller. The prices of a holiday can range from moderate to exorbitant rates, depending upon the tour operator. Before opting for any a tour operator, invest some time in getting detailed information about all the above mentioned points and see if the cost is justified.

Once you have compiled a list of all the tour operators providing Rajasthan holiday packages weigh them against the above points. Compare the duration, food, itinerary, accommodation of the tours and check if they provide value for money. Once you have compared them and arrived at a decision based on your judgement and viola, you are all set to enjoy your Rajasthan holiday packages.
