The magical land set amidst the desolate desert beauty. The land synonymous with romance and chivalry. Immensely rich in culture, history and natural beauty. That's Rajasthan… Everything about Rajasthan fascinates from miles of golden stretches of sand to the kaleidoscope of magnificent forts, opulent palaces and marvelous havelis, each a splendid architectural creation having a legend of its own.
The beautifully laid out gardens and lakes contrasting perfectly with the hilly ranges are a sight to gladden your eyes.
The cities of Rajasthan still remain the medieval flavour keeping alive the timeless traditions in their rich art & crafts, colourful bazars and vibrant people wearing multi-hued costumes and a bright smile. Camels, oxen and elephants are among the common modes of transport besides buses and cars - a true blend of modernity and tradition!

The land comes alive with exuberant folk dances and music, ballads and spectacular festivities that are an inseparable part of Rajasthan's culture. Especially enchanting are the evenings here, when melodious tunes echoing through the solitude of shimmering sands, fill the air.
Rajasthan is also renowned for exquisite paintings and frescos, not forgetting the incredibly fabulous Rajasthani fabrics and jewellery along with a wide range of beautiful handicrafts.
