Rajasthan, with its distinctive cultural regions and rich heritage makes a great tourist destination. Among the most striking and unique of these is Mewar, lying to the south and home to the brilliant and valourous capitals of Chittaur and Udaipur. The Magic of Mewar lies in its picturesque towns and villages surrounded by hills, shimmering lakes and valleys dotted with palaces, historic forts and beautiful gardens.

One of the most romantic cities of world, Udaipur with its beautiful lakes, lush green hills, exotic palaces, forts, gardens and temples, appears straight out of a fairy-tale. Not far from Udaipur is Ranakpur, situated on the Udaipur - Jodhpur highway and renowned for its Jain Temple complex built in 15th century. Nestling in the wooded hills of the Aravali ranges, and celebrated for its intricate – even ostentatious - marble relief work, Ranakpur is among the five most important pilgrimages of the Jain faith.

The fortress town of Chittaurgarh has a glorious history of heroic battles and legendary heroes. Along with its celebrated – and ornate -Victory Tower, a major tourist attraction is the palace of Rani Padmini. The incredibly tragic story of the beautiful Princess Padmini, of the battle fought between her Sire and the Sultan of Delhi – the mighty Allaudin Khilji - her Lord’s defeat and the subsequent jauhar or mass suicide committed by her entire entourage to avoid being taken by marauding Khilji forms the childhood tapestry of local cultural pride.

The Mewar package also includes a trip to Pushkar and Bundi. Pushkar is among the holiest of the holies in the pantheon of Hindu pilgrimages. Epigraphic evidences indicate that by the turn of the Christian Era Pushkar had already become one of the great pilgrimages and centers of religious devotion. Apart from its temples and its sacred lake, Pushkar is also well known for its huge camel fair, when pastoralists from all parts bring their animals to sell. During the Pushkar fair this small town becomes a cultural hub with people coming in from all over India and across the globe. Indeed in many ways the Pushkar Mela is a festival where local and world cultures meet and intermingle.

The tiny town of Bundi was capital to a small Muslim kingdom, and is rather well known for its murals, monuments, waterworks and exquisite paintings, forming what is known as the Bundi School of Art. The Bundi Palace presents a fine blend of Rajput and Islamic architecture with its carved brackets, pillars and balconies. The step wells in the Bundi palace are in themselves worth a visit.
Delhi, India’s capital gives you a feel of ancient, medieval and modern India through the various monuments built at different points in history. In Jaipur the capital of Rajasthan, one can see forts and palaces representative of a royal past. Its colourful bazaars are also a treat for the visitors
