Rajasthan is home to one of the oldest mountain ranges in the world, known as the Aravallis.
The hill town of Mount Abu, near Udaipur, set on a high rocky plateau in the Aravalli Ranges and surrounded by forest is famous for the Dilwara Jain Temples that are located here.
To enjoy the best that Rajasthan offers discerning visitors, it is ideal to plan a trip of around 12 days. The period from October to March is the best time to visit Rajasthan.
Rajasthan conjures up romantic images of daring warriors and flamboyant kings, zealously guarding their fairy-tale palaces and rugged fortresses from covetous invaders and each other. The state is situated in the Northern part of India and is dotted with alluring palaces and magnificent forts that tell tales of a rich and royal cultural heritage. The capital city of Jaipur has a regal past of its own that stretches all of 260 years.
The Great Indian Desert or the Thar Desert, as it is known locally, cuts a wide swathe across the length and breadth of the state shaping the lives of a tough and hardy breed of people that call it home. What Rajasthan lacks in the color of its topography, it makes up for in the colourful attire, culture, festivals and traditions of its simple, enterprising people.
Jaisalmer is known as the 'Golden city' and bears the proud status of a World Heritage Site. This medieval town sits atop a ridge of yellowish sandstone that is crowned by the ancient Jaisalmer Fort. The fort comprises a royal palace and several ornate Jain temples.
The 15th-century Mehrangarh Fort, was formerly a palace, now converted into a museum. It stands proudly tall, as it looks out protectively over the walled city of Jodhpur from its perch, high on a neighboring rocky outcrop that juts out of the Thar Desert.
Udaipur was founded as the capital by Maharana Udai Singh II of the Kingdom of Mewar in 1559. The City Palace is a spacious complex of 11 imposing palaces, impressive courtyards and manicured gardens, that look out over the soothing expanse of Lake Pichola.
