• An activity oriented rural retreat near Jodhpur like Rohetgarh or Chanwa Luni can be opted for an experience oriented (Village Visits, Horse Safari, Jeep Rides), off-beat itinerary

• Additional night at Manvar, a Desert camp mid-way on Jodhpur-Jaisalmer route can be considered. Manvar is more private desert retreat than ones at Sam and provides a more profound Desert experience than a more touristy Sam.

• Skip Jaisalmer all together and instead visit Khimsar Fort / Khimsar Sand Dunes. It is more private desert retreat than ones at Sam and provides a more profound Desert experience than a more touristy Sam.

• If we choose to fly to Udaipur from Mumbai or Delhi then Mount Abu can be all together removed from the itinerary and 1 additional night at Udaipur can be considered OR same itinerary still can be done with Udaipur being first followed by Mount Abu.

• Give one additional night, Agra can be added to the Itinerary.

• Give Two additional nights, Agra-Bharatpur-Mathura can be added to the Itinerary.
