Mandawa Tourism

Take the first step to getting there!

What makes Mandawa a must-visit destination?

Mandawa is a small town in the state of Rajasthan and lies in the Shekhawati region. It lies approximately 190 kilometers away from the capital of Rajasthan, Jaipur, and approximately 240 kilometers from the National Capital, New Delhi. The town was essentially occupied by traders in the late 18th and the early 19th Century, which has now been transformed into a tourist attraction due to its beautiful history.

The town of Mandawa is also known as the open-air art gallery due to the numerous architecturally and artistically beautiful historical structures in the town. Most of the Havelis of Mandawa are famous for their paintings, murals, and various other beautiful artifacts. This amazing town is a must-visit for all the history, architecture, as well as art lovers out there.

The major attractions of the city are its iconic Havelis, most of which have now been restored into Heritage Hotels. Some of the Havelis that you can not miss out on your visit to Mandawa include the Murmuria Haveli, Chokhani Double Haveli, and the Hanuman Prasad Goenka Haveli. Some other beautiful attractions of Mandawa are the Harlalka Well, Saraf Haveli, and the Bansidhar Newatia Haveli.

There are a whole lot of amazing and exciting activities in Mandawa that a tourist can indulge in. The first and foremost thing that one needs to do is take a walking tour of the historical lanes of this small town and explore its ancient palatial residences, some of which have been restored, whereas, others still remain unattended. Tourists can also try out making a wish at the Harlalka Well, which is believed to come true by the local residents.

The city experiences hot and dry weather, which does not make it comfortable to be visited during the summers or monsoons. The best time to visit this art hub is during the winter season that starts from the months of October and stretches till March.

I decided to take my cousins on a trip to some of the most interesting places in the country a few weeks ago, and while looking for suitable travel packages, I came across thrillophilia……... I decided to book my trip with them after much deliberation……... We had an incredible experience thanks to thrillophilia, and we would recommend it to anyone looking to plan a fantastic trip……..During our trip, we saw some of the most beautiful places in the country, such as the royal havelis and palaces in Mandawa, as well as the shekhawati paintings…….. In Jaisalmer, we also went to the sand dunes and the beautiful Gadisar lake.... The trip concluded with an unforgettable boat ride on Nakki Lake in Abu……….

a wonderful job done by the thrillophilia team……. it was a friend’s trip, and this team planned it in such a way that it turned out to be a memorable one…... our driver drove us comfortably to all the beautiful locations of delhi, agra and rajasthan included in our itinerary…….. from sightseeing in delhi, mandawa, bikaner, jaisalmer, jodhpur, mount abu, udaipur, and jaipur to witnessing the incredible beauty of the taj mahal, every place included in the itinerary was ultimate. the food served throughout the tour was tasty and the hotel rooms were clean and spacious.…… we loved desert safari, trekking to guru sikhar, night camping in jaisalmer, and trying local dishes of rajasthan and agra. all in all, we had a great time throughout the trip, clicked so many beautiful pics, and tasted lovely food…….

Last winter, I took a trip to the golden triangle of Rajasthan and fulfilled our most awaited vacation. Our trip started with our arrival in Delhi where we explored the capital. We visited the India gate, lotus temple and rashtrapati bhawan. On the following day we travelled to mandawa. Mandawa houses a plethora of beautiful forts and palaces with intricate architecture marvels. Our trip to Jaisalmer started on the following day, then we visited where we explored many havelis and learnt about their rich history. As a solo traveller I enjoyed the city of Bikaner, for its impeccable ambience and amiable people. I travelled to Mount Abu and visited the local tourist attractions. My last stoppage was in the city of Agra. I had a great time exploring the famous Taj Mahal and admiring its unbeatable beauty and extravagant history. I am extremely grateful to thrillophilia for its amazing travel itinerary.

A few weeks ago, I decided to plan a surprise trip for my partner, taking her to some of the country's "hidden gems." While looking for suitable packages, I came across thrillophilia and felt like booking my trip with them. Because of thrillophilia, it was a fantastic experience…………… During our trip, we went to the Jama Masjid, ate some street food, and shopped at the stalls in Chandni Chowk. We also went to Qutub Minar and Bikaner, where we saw Asia's largest camel breeding farm……...It was an incredible experience made possible by thrillophilia. Thus, I would recommend Thrillophilia to anyone looking to plan an exciting trip………..

It was a good experience but, I feel it’s a bit too hyped. It may be good if you're a member of the club. They treat you nicely then,but otherwise the staff just doesn't listen. I had fun but, the hospitality was not upto the mark.
