Udaipur, Jodhpur, Jaisalmer, Jaipur and Ranthambore - A diamond in the desert
Rajasthan
Rajasthan means “Land of Kings” and the palaces, fortresses and temples of this desert state back up the claim. Once ruled by Maharajas of unimaginable wealth, the opulent legacies remain.

Why Rajasthan?
Rajasthan is an Indian fairytale come to life. Until 1947 the area was a patchwork of princely states, each with their own unique characteristics. Jaipur, the Pink City, falls within India’s Golden Triangle. Touring the City Palace and the Palace of the Wind will give you a sense of royal life. In Jodhpur, the Blue City, you can see the imposing Mehrangarh Fort perched atop a rock in the city centre, overlooking the Bhawan Palace and Jaswant Thada.
In the Thar Desert you’ll find Jaisalmer and its impressive namesake fort. The city walls and havelis within are made from golden yellow sandstone, blending nicely with surroundings. Jaisalmer is a natural starting point for desert adventures and camel safaris.
