BIKANER - JAISALMER
- JODHPUR - UDAIPUR
Rajasthan still retains an elusive fairy-tale character.
A land where the tales of valour of its medieval Rajput
warriors are still sung by its travelling bards.
Rajasthan is the `Land
of the Kings'. Where opulent palaces dot the desert
landscape and battle-scarred fortresses appear on every
hill like sentinels of the past. Here folk culture still
retains its entire colour and vivacity. With exuberant
celebrations of fairs and festivals in Rajasthan. A
music that echoes across the desert emptiness tradition
of craftsmanship with a highly developed aesthetic sense.
Begin your desert adventure at Jodhpur, a fortress-city
at the edge of the Thar Desert festival. Then travel
to Jaisalmer to see its unforgettable golden fortress.
The trade route outpost of Bikaner still retains a medieval
flavour. While the route to Barmer will take you through
typical Rajasthani Villages. The four cities on your
itinerary will create a perfect portrait of this exotically
