Welcome to the Land of Kings, where you can explore huge palaces, magnificent forts, and ancient monuments. These monuments reflect interesting stories of war, victory, romance, and more, making Rajasthan one of the most visited states in India. Rajasthan cuisine, traditional attires, art, and lifestyle, are all remarkable! Apart from that, Rajasthan is home to the world-famous Thar Desert, wildlife sanctuaries, and a beautiful hill station. When in Rajasthan, you must visit these incredible places in the state to experience the true grandeur of the Indian monarchy.
The Pink City of Jaipur – Presently the capital of Rajasthan
Jaipur is enchanting with its pink color. The city is well prepared to welcome you royally, greeting guests with garlands and tilak. At the same time, ornate elephants are ready to ride at the hilltop Amber Fort.
Step back to the City Palace Museum, which exhibits the weapons and belongings of the Maharajas and Maharanis, or travel to the 983-balcony Hawa Mahal.
The Jal Mahal fascinates passionate hearts while the Jantar Mantar unravels the scientific mind of the Rajput monarchies. Nights are full of entertainment in Jaipur with exciting activities like puppet shows and shopping for unique handicrafts, costume jewelry, clothing boutique, and leather shoes.
As part of the “Golden Triangle” and the capital of Rajasthan, traveling in Jaipur will be different than you thought it could be.
Famous as the ‘pink city’ and its beautiful palaces, it had developed a somewhat romanticized view of Jaipur. The reality is a dusty, noisy and crowded city used by tourists with a lot of money and little time to negotiate. The hustle and bustle begin on arrival at the train station, where you can expect persistent transportation offers from the moment you set foot off the train.
But this does not mean that you can skip Jaipur!
It means that you are off-keeping your purchases until later during your trip, or if you shop at The Pink City Bazaars, be prepared to haggle real hard. It’s also a great idea to pre-arrange pick-ups from your hotel/guesthouse from the train station, especially if your train arrives after dark.
Udaipur
The “City of Lakes” is marked as the most romantic city in India. It is the most touristic city in Rajasthan. The city center around the lake has been established almost entirely around tourism (with most of the buildings being travel agencies, hotels, shops, and restaurants), but that doesn’t mean Udaipur should be overlooked.
Seeing the morning mist over the mountains beyond Lake Pichola from the battlements of the City Palace is a memorable sight. Our best advice is to get up before everyone else to enjoy a few moments of solitude. Beautiful scenes of the Aravalli Hills surround this city, and the wildlife here has given it another beautiful name, ‘Venice of the East.
Jodhpur
The Blue City of India’s exquisite charm leaves many travelers in love. Don’t go to Jodhpur with any particular expectations, but you will find that there is something special about this place. Mehrangarh Fort is as dramatic as the forts, even in Rajasthan. Towering over the city, it is visible from anywhere, and many hotels and guesthouses in Jodhpur have wonderful views of the fort. However, Jodhpur’s charms extend beyond its fortress.
Once you’ve seen as many blue houses as you can manage in the old blue city of Jodhpur or reached your shopping limit in the bazaars, there’s much more to see outside of Jodhpur. An hour’s drive away is the remote town of Osiyan, which boasts some magnificent Jain temples and the opportunity to experience the Thar Desert away from the crowds of Jaisalmer.
The Ajmer Pilgrimage
Ajmer is a pilgrimage for both Hindus and Muslims; this city is known for the tomb of Durgah Sharif by Khwaja Moinuddin Chisti. This city is also a route to Pushkar, which has only the Brahma temple worldwide. This city adds a spiritual atmosphere to your trip to Rajasthan.
Chittorgarh
Chittorgarh is a city with unique attractions. Incorporated in the 7th century, the Chittorgarh Fort is the largest in India, guarded by seven gates. It is the largest fort in India, so exploring it on a day tour may not be possible.
Mount Abu
Not to be forgotten is the only hill station in Rajasthan, which is Mount Abu. The relaxed and friendly atmosphere here starkly contrasts with what you will witness in the major cities of Rajasthan. The Dilwara temples located at Mount Abu are impressive pieces of architecture that one must stop to visit.
Jaisalmer
Jaisalmer is a prominent tourist spot here in Rajasthan. So many international visitors visit this city every year. The honey-golden sandstone-clad castle and massive golden dunes here have given it the name ‘golden city. The lakes, the Jain temples, and the Havelis add to the beauty of the city of Jaisalmer.
