Raj Travels offers its
Planning a trip beyond the usual Jaipur circuit? A Shekhawati tour from Jaipur by car takes you north to the painted towns of Nawalgarh, Mandawa and Fatehpur, and on to Jhunjhunu, with a private AC car, a driver who knows the roads and a fixed plan agreed before you leave.
Shekhawati sits about 150 to 180 km from Jaipur, and its sights are spread across many small towns with limited public transport. Havelis, forts, stepwells, chhatris and temples are often a 20 to 40 minute drive apart. Travelling in your own car means you decide where to linger, where to eat and when to move on, without worrying about bus timings or finding a local ride in each town.
We arrange a Shekhawati tour from Jaipur by car with driver as a one-day trip, a 2-day heritage circuit or a relaxed 3-day plan. Pick-up is from your Jaipur hotel, the airport or the railway station, and the same driver stays with you until you are dropped back. Families, couples, photographers and small groups all use these plans, and we adjust the stops to suit your interests.
Every quote depends on the car you choose, total distance and number of days. This page is for car hire with a driver. Hotels, entry tickets, meals and guides are not part of the car hire, so mention them in your enquiry if you want help planning around them.

Shekhawati covers parts of Jhunjhunu, Sikar and Churu districts, and it is known for merchant mansions, forts and temples painted with frescoes. Most visitors treat it as an open-air gallery and plan their Shekhawati tour from Jaipur by car around two or three base towns. A car with a driver lets you reach lesser-known stops like Mahansar and Dundlod, which are hard to cover on public transport in a short trip.
The region is wide and the sights are scattered, so a private tour saves time and effort:
Pick stops from this list based on how many days you have:
Some havelis are locked or under repair, and ticketed ones usually charge a small entry fee. Your driver checks what is open before you reach each town.
A same-day trip works best when you keep it to two towns:
A 2 day Shekhawati tour from Jaipur by car is the most popular option because it removes the rush:
For a 3-day plan, we add Dundlod, Mahansar and Ramgarh, and keep each drive short so the trip stays relaxed. Hotels are not part of the car hire, and we can plan your halt around the stay you book.
A Swift Dzire or Etios suits 2 to 3 guests on a same-day trip. For a family of 4 to 6 with luggage, an Ertiga, Kia Carens or Innova Crysta is more comfortable on a multi-day tour. Groups of 9 to 17 can take a Tempo Traveller or Force Urbania, and larger groups can look at our Volvo and MG Glider coaches. Tell us about senior members, young children or anyone who finds stairs difficult, and we plan shorter walks and extra rest stops.
October to March is the best season, with cool mornings that suit walking tours. April to June is very hot, so start early and keep afternoons light. Carry some cash for haveli tickets and for the caretaker who unlocks a courtyard, and ask before photographing people or private spaces. Book 5 to 7 days ahead in the cooler months, and 2 to 3 days ahead in other months.

Q1: What is a Shekhawati tour from Jaipur by car?
Answer: It is a private, chauffeur-driven trip from Jaipur to the towns of Shekhawati in north-east Rajasthan. Most plans cover Nawalgarh, Mandawa and Fatehpur for their painted havelis, and longer plans add Jhunjhunu, Dundlod and Mahansar. The same car and driver stay with you from pick-up to drop.
Q2: How much does a Shekhawati tour from Jaipur by car cost?
Answer: The cost depends on the car, total distance, number of days and halts. Our approximate rates are ₹10–12 per km for a sedan, ₹18–20 per km for an Ertiga or Innova Crysta and ₹25–28 per km for a Tempo Traveller. Share your plan and we send a written quote with no hidden charges.
Q3: How far is Shekhawati from Jaipur?
Answer: Mandawa is about 150 to 180 km from Jaipur and Jhunjhunu is about 180 km. The drive usually takes 3.5 to 4 hours, depending on traffic and the route you take.
Q4: Can I cover Shekhawati in one day from Jaipur?
Answer: Yes, but keep the plan short. A same-day trip normally covers Nawalgarh and Mandawa, and takes 12 to 14 hours with the drive. If you also want Jhunjhunu or Fatehpur, a 2-day plan is more comfortable.
Q5: How many days are enough for a Shekhawati tour?
Answer: Two days suit most travellers, with a night in Mandawa or Jhunjhunu. Take 3 days if you want to add Dundlod, Mahansar, Ramgarh and Sikar, or if you prefer shorter drives and more time in each town.
Q6: Which places are covered on a Shekhawati tour?
Answer: The core stops are the Podar Haveli Museum and Morarka Haveli in Nawalgarh, the Chokhani Double Haveli and fort in Mandawa, and the havelis of Fatehpur. Longer plans add Khetri Mahal and Rani Sati Temple in Jhunjhunu, Dundlod Fort, and the golden frescoes of Mahansar.
Q7: What is the best time for a Shekhawati tour?
Answer: October to March is the best season, with cool mornings and comfortable afternoons for walking. April to June is very hot, so start early and keep the afternoons light if you travel in summer.
Q8: Is a Shekhawati tour from Jaipur by car good for family and senior citizens?
Answer: Yes. A private AC car lets you rest whenever needed and avoids bus changes. Haveli visits involve some walking and stairs, so tell us the ages in your group and we plan shorter stops and easy halts.
Q9: What is included in the price, and what is extra?
Answer: The car hire covers the car, a professional driver, fuel and air conditioning. Entry tickets, meals, hotels and guides are separate. Your written quote states clearly how tolls, parking and driver night charges are handled.
Q10: Which car should I choose for a Shekhawati tour?
Answer: A Swift Dzire or Etios suits 2 to 3 guests. An Ertiga, Kia Carens or Innova Crysta is better for a family of 4 to 6 with luggage. Groups of 9 to 17 can take a Tempo Traveller or Force Urbania.
