Rajasthan To the land of Royals, Desert and more|F5

TOUR OVERVIEW

Rajasthan has evoked very elaborate, colorful and majestic images of heritage and grandiose in the collective imagination of everyone. The largest state of India, Rajasthan has always been associated with the royalty and hence with sturdy forts, lavish palaces and exquisitely carved monuments.

However, this vast expanse of land has so much more to offer. One of the world’s largest Camel Fairs at Pushkar draws the most curious from all over the world. The sand dunes of the Thar desert form the unbelievably romantic setting on a full moon night. Camp under the stars with nothing but slippery, silken sand beneath your tents in Jaisalmer.

The folk music and tales of this state has travelled far and wide, being adapted with time and tastes. But hear them on the soil they were born, is a priceless experience. Get mesmerized with the Kalbelia dance resembling the movements of the King Cobra or lose all worries humming with the sarangi.

Get sucked into the old world of kings and queens visiting the lavish palaces of Jaipur and Jodhpur. Visit the painted havelis of Shekhawati region and take village walks to get a peek of rural Rajasthan. Witness the rural empowerment activities across the state while you get overwhelmed and overfed by the Rajasthani hospitality.
