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,

with 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.

Location
:
Prime Attractio : Lalgarh Palace - The Gajner
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. |
