Colours of Rajasthan!

Royal and exquisite is what best describes a Rajasthan tour. Sprawled languidly in ancient grandeur, the state of Rajasthan is a vibrant and exotic land where you will see perfect mixing of tradition and royal splendor merged together in a riot of colors set against the vast background of sand and desert. Being bejeweled with invincible forts, rich culture and magnificent palaces; this abode of yesteryear maharajas is truly a melting-pot of people, culture, costumes, music, customs, manners, dialects and cuisines.

One of the best ways to experience royal Rajasthan during your Rajasthan tour is by visiting the several majestic forts that can be found all around in Rajasthan-on the rocky Aravalis hills, over the ridge, in dense forests and even in the middle of the Thar Desert. You should definitely visit some of the most popular forts present here like the Jaisalmer Fort, the Chittaurgarh Fort, the Kumbhalgarh Fort, the Mehrangarh Fort and the Amber & Jaigarh Fort.

Like its topological variations the culture of Rajasthan is also a wide spectrum of brilliant hues fondled by the waves of a large variety of settlers. Due to this, you will come across colorful costumes, culture, fairs & festivals, folk dance & music and art & craft; all of which reflects enviable heritage. You will experience the most vibrancy of your trip during the time of colorful fairs & festivals when the entire desert land glitters with the colors of joyous celebration be it on a religious occasion or change of season or growth of harvest.

Moving on, Rajasthan is not only about the Thar Desert. It also has scrub-thorn arid forests, rocks & ravines, wetlands and lush green forests. All of these make Rajasthan a haven for a wide variety of wildlife. The state boasts of three national parks and over a dozen sanctuaries out of which the Ranthambhor National Park, Bharatpur Bird Sanctuary and the Sariska Tiger Reserve are the most popular. You can visit these places round the year except for a brief period during monsoon when they remain closed. All the wildlife sanctuaries of Rajasthan will offer you some of the greatest wildlife tours in India that you can explore either on an elephant back or by a jeep.
Rajasthan is one of the most colorful states of India that always attracts the millions of tourists from all over the world.
