A Majestic Experience

… The king and his army fought a valiant battle till their dying breath as the queen and the women flung themselves into the glowing embers to save their honour …

Such tales of valour and sacrifice are rampant in this desert land of Rajasthan. Today, the numerous forts and palaces stand mute testimony to these events. Each fort boasts its own story and each city its own heritage. But the spirit of Rajasthan lies in its people who have braved the hardships of climate and politics. Their colourful garbs and customs reflect their gay interiors.

And as one traverses through Rajasthan, one can feel this warmth and spirit reverberate through – be it in the idle smile of a passer by or the respectful bow of the doorman!

Rajasthan has a lot to offer to a tourist, besides its heritage hospitality. The unique fairs and festivals, formidable forts and palaces, wildlife parks and sanctuaries and romantic locales, make it one of the most popular destinations in India. One can breathe in the regal charm, witness the splendour of Rajput architecture, indulge in royal games like polo, go on safaris or feast on the numerous handicrafts, so typical to Rajasthan.
