“It is always sad to leave a place to which one knows one will never return. Such are the melancolies du voyage: perhaps they are one of the most rewarding things about traveling.” It seems as if Gustave Flaubert wrote these lines about the north India Tour. Full of history and heritage and tales that speak of pride, valour, and amusements, this tour won’t leave you alone, even after days. The one state in India that houses a spectacular miscellany of Heritage, wildlife, cultural mazes, scenic beauties and more is Rajasthan.
Jaipur. The capital of Rajasthan and one of the earliest planned cities in India, the pink city of Jaipur is still preserved as it was years ago. The few heritage wonders that the city has are the Hawa Mahal, City Palace, Nahargarh Fort, Jaigarh, Amer Fort and the Jantar Mantar. Hotels in Jaipur resemble these structures and are 7-star luxury accommodations that the luxury travel India strives on. While you are here visit the Bapu bazaar and get yourself a dress made with the local hand block printing technique. The leheriya and bandhej prints are also native to the land and can be found in abundance.
Jaisalmer. Highly famous among the tourists for its sand dunes and camping spots outside of the city, right in the heart of the desert, the Golden Fort situated in the city cannot be missed if you doing the Rajasthan Heritage Tour. It is World’s only living fort and the streets that surround the fort are as lively and enchanting. Explore the city on foot, do a desert safari and a camel ride, enjoy the cultural program and tent stay at the camps. Jeep safari is an additional activity that you can include in your trip.
Jodhpur. Also known as the Sun City, the old city Jodhpur has been painted blue to keep the sun’s heat away. Rajasthan Tour Packages include Jodhpur because of the mighty Meherangarh Fort that is living proof of all the battles the Rajput kings fought. An evening stroll outside the fort turns into a cultural fest when a Ravanhatha player begins singing ‘Padharo Mahare Desh’ which translates to ‘Visit my land’ and you will be awestruck with the city’s hospitality.
Udaipur. Known to the city of lakes and the land of the brave, it has a mesmerizing City Palace, which is like no other palace in the country. It will take at least 4 hours to cover each part of the palace but every detail of it is worth watching and learning from. The Lake Palace stands in the middle of Lake Pichola and can be accessed through a boat ride. Enjoy the food and the view from cafés alongside the Fatehsagar lake. Visit the Saheliyo ki Badi, Dudh Talai, Gulab Bagh in the evening and the Ambrai Ghat at night. This will be your city in all of the India Trip.
Pushkar. One of the most unexplored places in Rajasthan, Pushkar gets left out because most tour operators don’t deem the town worthy of foreign attention. But they couldn’t be more wrong. With its aarti at the ghats, the mountain trail to the savatri devi temple, Isreali cafes and the overall hippie culture, Pushkar is one of the best spots for locals and foreigners likewise. Visit the Brahma temple and then set foot into the market around the lake to explore the mini Isreal of India, buy patent leather bags and other handmade items from artisans. Visit the camel fair, which happens during the last week of November.
