Explore Rajasthan

Nine extraordinary kingdoms, each with its own colour, soul, and story.

Jaipur
The Pink City

Capital of Rajasthan

Jaipur

Jaipur, the capital of Rajasthan, earned its 'Pink City' nickname from the rose-tinted buildings of the walled old city — a UNESCO Creative City of Crafts and Folk Arts. Its skyline is crowned by the formidable Amber Fort, while the old city's bazaars overflow with gems, block prints, and the scent of spice.

🗓️Best Time:October – March

Udaipur
City of Lakes

Southern Rajasthan

Udaipur

Cradled between seven lakes and the Aravalli hills, Udaipur is the most romantic city in India. The Lake Palace, seemingly floating on Lake Pichola, and the sprawling City Palace complex — built over four centuries — have made this the 'Venice of the East'. Sunsets here are otherworldly.

🗓️Best Time:September – March

Jaisalmer
The Golden City

Western Rajasthan

Jaisalmer

Rising from the heart of the Thar Desert like a golden mirage, Jaisalmer's 12th-century sandstone fort is one of the world's few living fortresses — still inhabited by thousands. Beyond the city walls, the Sam Sand Dunes roll towards the Pakistani border, where camel safaris and desert camps offer an experience unlike anything else on earth.

Jodhpur
The Blue City

Western Rajasthan

Jodhpur

The colossal Mehrangarh Fort rises 122 metres above Jodhpur on a sheer rock cliff, commanding views over a sea of indigo-blue rooftops that give the city its unforgettable nickname. The old city below is a labyrinth of spice markets, antique shops, and ancient temples — one of Rajasthan's most rewarding places to simply wander.

Pushkar
The Holy Lake City

Central Rajasthan

Pushkar

One of Hinduism's five sacred dhams, Pushkar is a town of deep spiritual energy — its 52 ghats perpetually alive with prayer and its streets lined with marigold sellers. Home to the world's only major Brahma Temple, Pushkar comes alive each November for the legendary Camel Fair, when 200,000 visitors gather on the dunes outside town.

Ranthambore
Tiger Country

Eastern Rajasthan

Ranthambore

Ranthambore is India's most celebrated tiger reserve — a dramatic landscape of ancient ruins, dense forest, and glittering lakes where Bengal tigers hunt in broad daylight. Sighting chances here are among the best in Asia. Within the park stands the haunting 10th-century Ranthambore Fort, its ramparts slowly being reclaimed by jungle.

🗓️Best Time:October – June (Closed July–Sept)

Bikaner
Camel Country

Northern Rajasthan

Bikaner

Bikaner is a city of extraordinary contrasts — the impregnable Junagarh Fort (never conquered in 500 years), the ornate Rampuria Havelis, and the remarkable Karni Mata Rat Temple, where thousands of holy rats roam freely. Its Camel Festival each January is one of Rajasthan's most colourful spectacles.

Stepwell Village

Dausa District · 95 km from Jaipur

Abhaneri

Hidden 95 km east of Jaipur, the village of Abhaneri harbours one of India's most breathtaking architectural secrets — Chand Baori, a 1,200-year-old stepwell with 3,500 perfectly geometric steps plunging 30 metres into the earth. Featured in major Hollywood films, it remains relatively uncrowded and unforgettable.
