Mandawa & Shekhawati Tour
An open-air gallery of frescoed havelis across the painted Shekhawati region
Mandawa is the jewel of Shekhawati, a region often called the world's largest open-air art gallery. Its streets are lined with grand merchant havelis, their walls covered in vivid frescoes of gods, trains and colonial life. Quieter than Rajasthan's big cities, it offers an atmospheric, artistic and authentically rural escape. Our Mandawa and Shekhawati tours are ideal October to March, and pair well with Jaipur or Bikaner.

Why visit Shekhawati
Shekhawati offers a completely different side of Rajasthan, trading forts and lakes for streets full of extraordinary painted havelis. It is quieter, rural and richly rewarding for lovers of art and heritage. Mandawa makes the perfect, atmospheric base.
The painted havelis
The region's frescoes are its glory:
- Walls depicting mythology, trains and colonial scenes
- Restored havelis open as museums and hotels
- Towns like Nawalgarh, Fatehpur and Mandawa to compare
- A superb subject for photographers
How to reach Mandawa
Mandawa is reached most easily by road from Jaipur, around three to four hours away, which is also the nearest major airport. It also links well with Bikaner across the desert. We arrange comfortable transfers for you.
Best time to visit
October to March is ideal, with cool weather perfect for strolling the haveli-lined lanes. Summers are hot and dusty across the region. Autumn and winter make exploration far more comfortable.
Where to stay
Mandawa is famed for heritage haveli and fort hotels that let you sleep amid the frescoes. These atmospheric stays are a highlight of any visit. We confirm the best available option with your quote.

Real stories from real journeys
Thousands of families and couples across South India have travelled with us — here's what a few of them had to say.
Travelling with my parents and two kids, I was nervous. Holiday Vibez planned every single day perfectly, and the Alleppey houseboat was the highlight. We are already planning our next trip with them.
Best price I found anywhere, and the desert safari and Burj Khalifa tickets were all sorted before we even landed. The team was on WhatsApp whenever I had a question.
The Gulmarg gondola, the shikara ride on Dal Lake — exactly like the photos, no surprises at all. By the end of the trip our driver felt like family.
Booked a fairly last-minute Phuket trip and they still got me a great deal with visa help included. Honest, smooth and genuinely helpful people.
Scuba at Havelock was a dream come true. Every transfer and every hotel was exactly as promised. Worth every rupee, and I have already recommended them to friends.
