Make the most out of your Rajasthan Tour this winter!

This princely state is always bursting with life with its vast array of forts, magical deserts and splendid palaces. It is advisable not to take too much at one go, but visit a few popular places and really enjoy them.

Visiting the “Pink City” Jaipur is a must in Rajasthan Tour. Not just because it is the capital but there is a lot to see here including the Hawa Mahal, Jantar Mantar, City Palace and Govind devji’s Mandir; all located within walking distance of each other. Don’t miss out the Amer Fort, elegantly built of red sandstone with white marble domes. The interiors are equally exquisite and portray a combination of Islamic and Rajput architectural styles.

Next you can travel to Pushkar; a famous pilgrimage site and Ajmer and then proceed towards Jodhpur. The Dargah of Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti in Ajmer Sharif attracts millions of tourists from all over the world and must be included in your itinerary. Not be missed in Jodhpur is the Mehrangarh Fort, one of the largest forts in India with an amazing collection of weapons, paintings, princely clothes, Palanquins and howdahs. While here, you must watch the traditional agile dance of the Kalbeliya tribe that can put Shakira to shame.

Rajasthan tour is incomplete without visiting the desert and incredible sand dunes; only at Jaisalmer. Sunset over the sand dunes is a spectacular view, and by getting hold of the right tour operators you can spend your night at the desert. For a thrilling experience you can enjoy “dune bashing” and then a rustic camel tour. Sightseeing should also include the “Golden Fort”, Patwon Ki Haveli and Nathmal Ji Ki Haveli. Next move on to Udaipur; tour the Umaid Bhawan Palace and witness the charismatic lakes and the Kumbhalgarh Fort; perhaps the most splendid fort in Rajasthan!

Mount Abu, the only hill station in Rajasthan is just three hours’ drive from Udaipur and is famous for the Dilwara Jain Temples; the Nakki Lake, an artificial water body and beautiful wildlife sanctuary. Most of the places can be covered in 1 or 2 days and the whole Rajasthan tour can be covered in a span of 9-12 days.
