beauty and contrast, massive forts and magnificent palaces are found in even
the remotest part of the state. Rajasthan Epitomizes all that dreams are made

after the vestiges of the royals has turned sepia. here tradition blends
seamlessly with the modern , resonating exuberance. from the sun kissed sand
dunes in Jaisalmer to shimmering lakes in Udaipur, Magnificent forts and
palaces dot the state's picturesque landscape. Rajasthan is one of India's brightest
Jewels, a vast desert province where Rajput princes ruled for
centuries in extravagant pomp and splendor. Each city
of Rajasthan has a unique character, camel ride is possible only in the
desert. It is famous for its handicrafts, the markets of Jaipur,
Jodhpur, Bikaner, Jaisalmer have a fascinating array of goods on
display. Rajasthan is a destination that enchants the visitors
with every little discovery that is made , because the more one
discovers, the more is the urge to stay on or come back. For
Rajasthan Thar is peopled by a proud race where the dull
landscape bursts into brilliant Kodachrome hues: Multi- coloured
clothes, jewellery that begins from the toes and anklets and
mounts upwards from waist to hands to face and forehead. The men
sport turbans and luxuriant moustaches that they carry with
aplomb, and rings for their ears. The important cities include

Tour to Rajasthan represents the ultimate confluence of history,
chivalry, romance, rugged natural beauty and colour.
Today, long years after the last bugle was sounded, and after
the warring kingdoms of erstwhile Rajputana, sheathed their
swords, the desert appears romantic, its arts, the expression of
a brave yet sensitive race, its architecture the embodiment of
strength and grace.
It is as if, in celebration of life itself. While an age has
come to pass, cities flourish and contemporary Rajasthan is an
explosion of colour and pageantry. It is the ultimate destination
offering something to suit the tastes of every single different
traveller.
