Rajasthan is a preferred tourist destination for
people from all over the world not without
reason. The startling mix of colour, image, form
and style that underlines its cultural heritage
makes Rajasthan one of the most exotic
destinations. The desert state arose out of a
merger of twenty-two erstwhile princely states
of Rajputana that were ruled by a warrior
aristocracy called Rajputs. Jaipur, Jodhpur,
Bikaner and Udaipur best exemplify the legendary
valour of Rajputs.
The Rajasthan Exclusive package takes you
through a journey into the past with visits to
battle scarred forts, magnificent palaces,
havelis and museums that display Rajput art and
architectural forms. The natural environment
contrasts from the semi arid areas of Jaipur to
the solitude of the desert lands of Jodhpur,
Bikaner and Jaisalmer and then to idyllic
Udaipur in the South. Threading them together is
a rich cultural heritage.
Jaisalmer with its golden fort, dunes and camel
rides is an unforgettable experience in desert
life. Not far from Jaisalmer are the Sam dunes
where one gets a taste of picture-postcard
desert landscape. Jaisalmer has a desert
festival in spring that showcases the wide range
of culture and artistic traditions of the desert
folk. Bikaner is best known for its
architectural heritage that includes fort,
palaces, museums and temples. The Camel Breeding
farm and the famous Karni mata temple where the
humble rats are venerated are other interesting
places. At Jodhpur the Sun City one can see the
fabulous Mehrangarh Fort. Housed in the fort is
a museum, one of the best in Rajasthan with an
extensive collection of Jodhpur regalia -
palanquins, howdahs, furniture, miniature
paintings, musical instruments, and costumes.
Udaipur with its beautiful lakes, lush green
hills, exotic palaces, forts, gardens and
temples, contrasts deeply with the desert areas.
All in all, an exhilarating experience. |
