The
History of Rajasthan goes back 5000 years and boasts a heritage as rich as its
landscape, from the grand palaces and rugged forts to its tranquil and camel
safaris to trekking. Those looking for taste of royal lifestyle just need to
check into one of the several palace hotels or heritage hotels that will make
it possible for them to be treated like royal guests.
Whether you are visiting Rajasthan's big cities with a fast-moving westernised
lifestyle, or exploring historic towns or quaint villages, you will always find
the people warm and friendly. And if you want to move away from the regular
tourist beat, it is very easy to organise your own tour.
The mood and the rhythm of the country side changes from one region to another,
and from season to season. It is a land of surprises; it is a land of amazing
natural beauty that can fascinate even the most seasoned traveller.
Accommodation could be a palace hotel, a smaller heritage hotel in the country,
a guesthouse, a tent or a village hut- the choice is yours. But whatever you
choose, you holiday in Rajasthan will be an unforgettable experience and we
hope this publication will help you make the most of your time here. Rajasthan
