Rajasthan is the land of desert, the land of palaces, colourful people, the home of warriors. Immensely rich in culture, history and natural beauty it attracts tourists from all parts of the worked.
Its a land of contrast with desert and lakes, gardens and hilly regions which are a pleasure to the eye.

Each city of this magnificent state has still kept alive its rich and vibrant culture which are echoed by the colourful and lively people, festivals and dance and music and the bazaars that are held in the city, also its past glory is experienced through the impressive forts and palaces.

Another exciting experience for a traveller is camel, horse or elephant rides which are very native to this place. Apart form this the state has many beautiful temples and monuments, and also some of the finest parks and sanctuaries are located here. It is a Shopper and Gourmet paradise with lovely and ethnic handicrafts and mouth watering delicacies it has to offer.

The setting sun showers a golden light upon the fine sands of the desert. And this is about time when Rajasthani folklore is out to captivate the tourist's attention with some gorgeous traditional wear accompanied by soul stirring Maand or the like (variety of ragas in the Rajasthani music). All this leaves the visitor in complete tranquil and a state of fulfillment.
