Jaipur, called
the Pink city because most of its buildings are
of sandstone, was chosen by Maharaja Sawai Jai
Singh II (1693-1743) for his capital. It still
is the vibrant capital of the desert state of
Rajasthan and a major attraction for the first-time
visitor.
Jaipur is surrounded
on all sides by rugged hills, crowned with forts
and enclosed by embattled walls. The Old City,
the actual Pink City, is a great place to wander
around. Maharaja Man Singh II had the whole city
painted pink when the Prince of Wales, later Edward
VII, visited Jaipur in 1876. Today, every home
within the old city is obliged by law to maintain
this facade. Fabulous, tall houses with latticed
windows line the narrow streets of the old city,
their rose pink colour lending enchantment to
a scene which is almost magical at sunset. The
city, which is very well planned, is laid out
in a grid pattern. |

Rajasthani men with bright turbans, women in traditional
jewellery, austere sand dunes, architectural wonders
and the mouth-watering Rajasthani cuisine.

Experience the fascinating desert
life at Bikaner. Located on the
northern point of the triangle of the desert cities
of Rajasthan, the city dates back to over 500
years. Like most of the other cities of the desert
region, Bikaner in Rajasthan has been able to
keep its medieval flavor alive. Water has been
limited here so the customary water places and
gardens are missing.

|
Location
:
Prime Attraction : Jain Temples - Desert Festival
- Jaisalmer Fort - Desert National Park
Jaisalmer, exotic,
remote, and beautiful, is a bit of a paradox.
Set so deep in the heart of the desert that one
would expect barren near-desolation, this frontier
town is today one of Rajasthan's best-loved tourist
destinations. Local colour and warmth prevail
over the inhospitable and forbidding terrain,
imbuing the medieval town with a special magic.
