Mandawa – Famous for its forts and havelis
Mandawa is a small town located in the heart of the Shekhawati region of Rajasthan, famous for its distinctive type of forts and havelis. It was once an important social and cultural hub in its heyday.
Bikaner – A Handicraft lover’s haven
Bikaner is perfect for handicraft lovers, and two of the most important features of the city are its Usta and Chadwa art forms using floral and geometric patterns.
Jaisalmer – The ‘Golden City’
Jaisalmer is known as the “Golden City” because of its beautiful sand dunes, stunning forts, and rich culture and traditions. It is a real juxtaposition of old vs new and it inherited its name from Maharaja Jaisal Singh.
Jodhpur – The ‘Sun City’
Jodhpur is known as the “Sun City” because of its sunny weather, as well as the “Blue City” because of the blue houses which can be found near the Mehrangarh Fort, which is a must see. This fascinating city is protected by a 10 km long stone wall. Other attractions include the Umaid Bhavan Palace, the Mandore Gardens, the Jaswant Thada, the Kalyana Lake and Garden, the Ghanta Ghar, Sardar Samand Lake and Masuria Hills.
Ranakpur
Built in the 15th century in milk-white marble, the main temple of Ranakpur, Chaumukha Mandir (Four-Faced Temple), is dedicated to Adinath, the first Jain tirthankar (depicted in the many Buddha-like images in the temple). An incredible feat of Jain devotion, the temple is an intricate series of 29 halls, 80 domes and 1444 individually engraved pillars. The interior is covered in knotted carvings and exude tranquility.
Udaipur – The Venice of the East
Known as “The Venice of the East,” Udaipur is a cool oasis in the dry heart of Rajasthan. There are beautiful attractions to see such as the Lake Palace, City Palace, Jagdish Temple, Lake Pichola, Fateh Sagar Lake and Kumbhalgarh Fort.
Pushkar – Home to the world-famous Camel Fair
Pushkar is one of the most ancient cities of India and you can find a rare Brahma Temple here. The Pushkar Lake is also a popular Hindu pilgrimage site and is thought to be created by the tears of Lord Shiva.
Jaipur – The Pink City
Known as the “Pink City of India” due to its distinctive pink and saffron colored buildings, Jaipur, is the largest city in the state of Rajasthan and one of India’s most beautiful cities. It was founded in 1727 by the Kachwaha Rajput Ruler Sawai Jaisingh II, who was the ruler of Amber at the time.
Agra – the majesty of the Taj
The magical allure of the Taj Mahal draws tourists to Agra all year round. And despite the hype, it’s every bit as good as you’ve heard. But the Taj is not a stand-alone attraction. The legacy of the Mughal Empire has left a magnificent fort and a liberal sprinkling of fascinating tombs and mausoleums; and there’s also fun to be had in the bustling chowks (marketplaces). The downside comes in the form of hordes of rickshaw-wallahs, touts, unofficial guides and souvenir vendors, whose persistence can be infuriating at times.
