R ajasthan is famous all over the world for its stunning
forts and palaces that have been gloriously standing since
decades in this princely state. It is the most colorful
region in India exhibiting splendor and royalty in every

chivalry,’ which is endowed with invincible forts,
magnificent palaces, waves of sand dunes and serene
lakes.

of Rajasthan. The reminders of rich history of this eternal
land are one of the major attractions of the state as well

travelers come back here again and again to enjoy the
majestic blend of royal past and modern comforts. Built on
high hilltops, amidst endless desert and on the islands in
lake the monuments vary from each other having their own
individual charm and charisma.
There is romance in Rajasthan’s forts and palaces and arts
of gallantry retold in ballads and legends. Then there are
sanctuaries sheltering rich and varied species of flora and
fauna. And the shimmering Thar desert belt charms with a
rare and amazing sight.
Rajasthan overwhelms with color found in bustling bazaars;
in wide ranging costumes of its people; in streets where
elephants and camels vie with buses and cars. The
irresistible gamut of art and handicraft souvenirs will
bewitch you. An exciting variety of Rajasthani delicacies
will pamper your palate with a never-before gastronomic
delight. Rajasthan with a treasure of history, picturesque
architecture and bewitching landscape is an unparalleled
