Rajasthan,
the Land of Maharajahs, lies in the northwestern part of the Indian
subcontinent. The state abounds with colourful cities and towns, not to
forget its villages that have a unique rustic charm about them. From one
corner of the state to the other, tourist attractions and lures are
aplenty and the unique culture is a huge draw for tourists. Forts,
palaces, havelis, cenotaphs, fairs, festivals, adventure, pilgrimage,
handicrafts, folk music, dance and sociable people Rajasthan is an
appealing mix of it all. Choose a colour and you'll find a city matching
it. Infused with history and legends, Rajasthan arouses curiosity even
in the most jaded traveller. Hordes of tourists and vacationers keep
flocking to the state all throughout the year to leave with memories and
recollection of a lifespan. Such imposing palaces as the City Palace (Udaipur) and the Palace of Winds (Jaipur) are renowned all across the world. An elephant ride at the Amber Fort takes the visitors by storm. The Jaisalmer Fort, the Kumbhalgarh Fort, the Nahargarh Fort, the Lalgarh Fort and the Lohargarh Fort are just a few of the names that would make you aware of the royal lifestyle of the bygone years. The legends associated with them are even more interesting. Visiting villages of the Shekhawati region is an experience in itself. Talking to people, observing their lifestyle and enjoying the folk dance and music could mean a hell lot of fun and experience. Pilgrimages to places like Pushkar and Dilwara are held in high regard both by tourists and locals. Hindus believe that taking a dip in the holy Pushkar Lake rids one of the sinister and darkness of the past. Embarking on a camel safari across the desert, getting to the sand dunes, enjoying a bonfire, spending a night under the star studded desert sky and delighting your taste buds with the special Rajasthani cuisines is pure fun and sheer experience. Wildlife of the region is also astounding. Wildlife havens like the Ranthambore National Park and the Bharatpur Wildlife Sanctuary sport a huge variety of exclusive Indian wildlife.
