Shekhawati from Jaipur: Mandawa and Nawalgarh

Shekhawati is a historic region in northeastern Rajasthan, noted for painted havelis, merchant towns and fresco traditions. Rajasthan Tourism highlights Mandawa, Nawalgarh and the region's heritage sites. The towns are spread out, so this route is better planned over more than one day than treated as a quick city excursion.

What to know

Shekhawati offers a distinctive architectural journey through smaller towns and historic homes. It is especially rewarding for visitors interested in wall painting, merchant history and conservation.

Good to Know

Many havelis are privately owned or may have limited access. Ask before entering, respect residents and verify opening arrangements. Plan transport between towns and confirm accommodation before travelling.
