Rajasthan Tour Package from Australia
Australian travelers are used to covering long distances to reach anywhere, so a 15-plus hour flight to India rarely puts people off — it just changes how the trip gets planned. Most of our Australian guests book longer stays (2-3 weeks) and often route through Singapore, Kuala Lumpur or Dubai, turning the journey itself into a stopover holiday.
A private Rajasthan tour package from Australia with our own drivers and vehicles means you're not tied to a fixed group itinerary once you land — useful for families managing kids' energy levels or retirees wanting a slower pace.
Why Australian Travelers Choose Rajasthan
- November-February — Australia's summer holiday window — is also Rajasthan's most comfortable season
- Long flight time makes a 2-3 week private, flexible-pace itinerary more appealing than a rigid group tour
- Popular stopover cities (Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Dubai) add easily to the outbound or return leg
- Desert camping in Jaisalmer and wildlife safaris in Ranthambore suit Australians' outdoor travel habits
- Family-sized vehicles (SUVs and vans) available for larger Australian family groups

India e-Visa for Australian Citizens
Australian passport holders need an e-Visa (Tourist) arranged online before departure.
- Apply via the official Indian government e-Visa website only
- Passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your arrival date
- Standard turnaround is 3-5 business days; build in a buffer of 2-3 weeks before travel
- Keep a printed copy of your approval alongside your passport
- Given the long flight, travel insurance with medical evacuation cover is strongly advised
Rajasthan Tour Cost from Australia

Combining Rajasthan with a Southeast Asia Stopover
Since most Australia-India flights already route through Singapore or Kuala Lumpur, many of our Australian clients build in a 2-4 night stopover on the way out or back. We're happy to plan the Rajasthan leg around whatever stopover works best for your flights.
Practical Notes for Australian Visitors

- Stick to bottled or filtered water
- Carry sunscreen — Rajasthan's dry desert sun is intense even in winter
- Check your travel insurance covers the full trip length, including any stopovers
Money & Culture
- Australian cards work at ATMs in Jaipur, Udaipur and Jodhpur; carry cash for smaller towns
- A 10% tip for drivers and guides is customary
- Dress modestly at temples and forts
- Bargaining is expected in markets, done politely
