Rajasthan
Majestic forts, opulent palaces, vibrant culture, and endless desert. Rajasthan is where every stone tells a story of valor, romance, and royal splendor.
Why Rajasthan?
Rajasthan is India's most colorful state - literally and figuratively. From the pink walls of Jaipur to the blue houses of Jodhpur, from golden Jaisalmer rising from the desert to white Udaipur floating on lakes, every city has its own character. The Rajput heritage lives on in magnificent forts, lavish palaces, and warm hospitality.
Whether you're seeking history, romance, adventure, or cultural immersion, Rajasthan delivers in abundance. It's no wonder this state attracts millions of tourists from around the world.
