How to plan your Rajasthan Tour – Places to Visit & Things to do

Rajasthan, often known as Rajputana or the Land of the Kings, is a wonderful illustration of India’s grandeur and beauty, spanning back millennia. Rajasthan is suitable for all types of travellers due to its majestic palaces, white and golden-sand deserts, traditional crafts, and unique cuisine.

THINGS YOU MUST SEE IN RAJASTHAN

1. Amber Fort (Jaipur)

Amber (pronounced Amer) fort, the ancient bastion of the Kachhawa tribe, lies around 11 kilometres from Jaipur. The fort is a beautiful structure in red sandstone and white marble, with a great blend of Mughal and Hindu architecture. The Maota Lake adds to the allure of the fort, providing tourists with crystal clear reflections.

2. Lake Palace (Udaipur)

The Aravalli Mountains provide the ideal setting for this gem in the heart of Lake Pichola. The Taj Group of Hotels has taken over the summer palace that was built by the royal family of Udaipur. Sculpted marble columns, beautiful gild mouldings, and, of course, a magical view have earned it recognition as one of India’s and the world’s most romantic hotels.

3. Umaid Bhawan Palace (Jodhpur)

The Umaid Bhawan Palace, one of the world’s largest private mansions, is best described as a perfect blend of Indian and Art Deco aesthetics. When the royal family was still in power, the palace employed more than 3000 people with its 347 rooms.

In truth, the royal family of Jodhpur still has a private apartment in a wing of the palace. The ITC Group of Hotels has purchased another portion, which serves the needs of many travellers throughout the year.

4. Dilwara temples (Near Mount Abu)

Dilwara’s Jain temples are regarded as India’s best examples of marble stone sculptures. The temples, which are a few kilometres from Mount Abu (Rajasthan’s lone hill station), are known for its exquisite marble construction, notably the detailed carving on the ceilings and pillars. It is one of the world’s most popular Jain pilgrimage places.

THINGS YOU MUST DO IN RAJASTHAN

1. At the Pushkar Fair, get up close and personal with camels.

The Pushkar Camel Fair, which takes place every November around Kartik Poornima, is a massive event that attracts over 11,000 camels, cattle, and horses. It attracts approximately 400,000 visitors from all over the world over the course of 14 days and is the ideal way to experience the chaos and colour of Rajasthan. 

2. Visit Ajmer Sharif and tie a mannat.

Those who visit the Hazrat Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti dargah in Ajmer are said to be blessed by Allah, and their mannats (wishes) are always granted, according to legend. Your visit to the dargah will be enhanced with colourful chadars, soulful qawwalis, and traditional Mughlai cuisine.

3. Visit Ranthambore and take a ride on the wild side.

Ranthambore is one of the country’s largest national parks. The Park is about 130 kilometres from Jaipur and is located in the Sawai Madhopur district. Ranthambore National Park, once the favourite hunting grounds of the Maharajas of Jaipur, is now a famous tourist attraction for wildlife enthusiasts. The park’s opening hours vary depending on the season, and safaris are held twice daily (morning and evening).

4. Visit Jaisalmer and go on a desert safari.

A desert safari in Jaisalmer paints an incredible picture of the desert’s splendour and desolation. Rajasthan’s golden city (called after the city’s famed yellow sandstone) is well-known for its camel safaris into the Thar desert. Spend the night in the desert beneath a bright sky with millions of stars shining down on you for a really unforgettable experience.
