Rajasthan Travel Destinations
Rajasthan is a kaleidoscope of majestic hues, sprawled languidly in the vast Thar Desert. Known as the Desert Jewel of India, Rajasthan tourism evokes a sense of wonderment and quaint feeling as you discover it. The landscape is dotted with island palaces shimmering on idyllic blue lakes, temples and fortresses situated on hilltops of the rugged and rocky Aravali, gardens with pavilions and kiosks and always a few dancing peacocks. Folklore, legend and local history - many an episode of romance, knightly prowess and chivalry connected with the 'Land of Kings' still lingers on.

Rajasthan is the most colorful region in India exhibiting splendor and royalty in every walk of life. It is truly said "a land of valiance and chivalry," which is endowed with invincible forts, magnificent palaces, waves of sand dunes and serene lakes. The state represents an unusual diversity in all of its forms - its people, culture, customs, costumes, cuisine, dialects and rustic music.

The saga of Rajasthan is a story of bloodshed as much as heroism and sacrifice. And the desert, the numerous forts & palaces, mystical cities & obscure hamlets, stand testimony to Rajasthan's royal and glorious past. Vacationers in Rajasthan can still ride painted and caparisoned elephants that recall the regalia of the royal courts and live in fabulous heritage hotels of Rajasthan built by the descendants of the sun and the moon.
