Prime Attraction : Hawa Mahal - Nahargarh Fort -
City Palace - Jantar Mantar
Jaipur, called the Pink city because most of its
buildings are of sandstone, was chosen by Maharaja
Sawai Jai Singh II (1693-1743) for his capital.
It still is the vibrant capital of the desert state
of Rajasthan and a major attraction for the first-time
visitor. Jaipur is surrounded on all sides by
rugged hills, crowned with forts and enclosed
by embattled walls. The Old City, the actual Pink
City, is a great place to wander around. Maharaja
Man Singh II had the whole city painted pink when
the Prince of Wales, later Edward VII, visited
Jaipur in 1876. Today, every home within the old
city is obliged by law to maintain this facade.
Fabulous, tall houses with latticed windows line
the narrow streets of the old city, their rose
pink colour lending enchantment to a scene which
is almost magical at sunset. The city, which is
very well planned, is laid out in a grid pattern.

On the edge of the Thar Desert stands Jodhpur,

eight gates and the new city is built around the
wall.
The people of Jodhpur are hospitable and their
personalities are as colorful as their attires.
Jodhpur is an amalgamation of camel-driven carts,
Rajasthani men with bright turbans, women in traditional
jewellery, austere sand dunes, architectural wonders
and the mouth-watering Rajasthani cuisine.

Wildlife Sanctuary - Karnimata Temple
Junagarh Fort - Devi Kund - Kalibanga
Experience the fascinating desert life at Bikaner.
Located on the northern point of the triangle
of the desert cities of Rajasthan, the city dates
back to over 500 years. Like most of the other
cities of the desert region, Bikaner in Rajasthan
has been able to keep its medieval flavor alive.
Water has been limited here so the customary water
places and gardens are missing.

| Jaisalmer
Tours |
|
Location
:
Prime Attraction : Jain Temples - Desert Festival
- Jaisalmer Fort - Desert National Park
Jaisalmer, exotic, remote, and beautiful, is a bit
of a paradox. Set so deep in the heart of the desert
that one would expect barren near-desolation, this
frontier town is today one of Rajasthan's best-loved
tourist destinations. Local colour and warmth prevail
over the inhospitable and forbidding terrain, imbuing
the medieval town with a special magic. |
