Amazing
legends of heroism and romance still resound from its equally amazing
architecture, that still stands to narrate its tale of a bygone era. The
magic of Rajasthan is unequalled in the world for its heritage, culture,
safaris, sand dunes and lush green forests with its wildlife. Rajasthan is
often expressed as huge open-air museum with relic so well preserved for the
travellers and the curious of the day.
It is action-packed with
outdoors too; take a safari on horses, camels, elephants or even jeeps with
the Aravalis - India's oldest mountain range in the backdrop, or caress your
eyes on the sloppy sand dunes, or trail a tiger or just watch birds on
wetland. Or you can choose to pamper yourself in the lavish heritage
properties. Rajasthan has something for everyone, just choose your activity.
Rajasthan
is an ancient land with centuries of accumulated culture, tradition, history
and mythology. This desert landscape was once a sea bed and the sand on the
surface of the desert ripples as if in memory of the shimmery waters that
once lay here. Even centuries ago man journeyed to its heartland and built
civilizations that have left modern archaeologists confounded. Rajasthan was
also India's first important link to Europe with trade caravans carrying all
manner of exotic goods all the way to China passing through the Thar desert
and beyond. Its kings were the Rajputs of the brave kshatriya clan, they
built its towns and cities with great dedication and fought bravely to
protect them. Their legacy still lives on in every facade of each beautiful
palace and fort that stands proud in this land.
