Majestic forts and places

The name land of kings and palaces suits this state perfectly. I was completely enamored by the beauty and grandeur of these buildings, and I found myself constantly in awe of the intricate details and stunning architecture.

Rajasthan is renowned for its impregnable historical hill forts that dominate crowded cities and vast countryside. There is no doubt as to why these why six locations—Chittorgarh, Kumbhalgarh, Sawai Madhopur, Jhalawar, Jaipur, and Jaisalmer—have been designated as UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Every single one of them offered something fresh and breathtaking, and many of them took many hours to explore.

Delicious and Authentic Rajasthani Cuisine

I had this amazing opportunity to taste the authentic Rajasthani thalis in Rajasthan and let me tell you, it was a true culinary adventure! The first thing that stood out to me was the mix of spicy and sweet flavors, using fresh local ingredients. I tried dishes that I had never even heard of before, and each bite was a flavor explosion in my mouth.

From the spicy laal maas to the sweet ghevar, the food in Rajasthan is truly a delight for the taste buds. I especially loved the traditional thalis, which were an all-in-one meal with a variety of dishes served on a platter. The variety of flavors and textures in each thali was truly amazing. The food was not only delicious, but it was also a true representation of the local culture and heritage.

Natural beauty

From the rolling dunes of the Thar Desert to the serene lakes and rivers, I was constantly in awe of the stunning vistas that surrounded me.

One of my favorite experiences was watching the sunrise over the dunes. The sky turned into a spectrum of oranges, pinks, and purples, and I felt like I was in a dream. It was truly a magical moment that I will never forget.

Another unforgettable experience was my visit to the tranquil waters of Lake Pichola in Udaipur. The lake was surrounded by stunning palaces and temples, and the reflection of these beautiful buildings in the water was a sight to behold.

The Wildlife

One of my highlights of the trip was getting to experience the incredible wildlife that this state has to offer. From the majestic tigers in Ranthambore National Park to the graceful cheetahs in Kuno National Park, I was constantly in awe of the beauty and diversity of the animals I encountered.

Going on a wildlife safari was truly an unforgettable experience. The early morning drives, surrounded by the sounds of nature, were truly peaceful. And then, suddenly, I'd spot a group of spotted deer or a family of monkeys and my heart would race with excitement. But the real highlight of my safari was when I caught a glimpse of a majestic Bengal tiger. I watched in awe as it gracefully walked through the jungle, its orange fur shining in the sun. It was a truly magical moment that I will never forget.

Handicraft shopping

Rajasthan is brilliant for shopping, everything they have is very unique and handpicked. From intricate wood carvings to delicate textiles, each piece is crafted with care and attention to detail. I loved knowing that each item I bought was one-of-a-kind, made by skilled artisans with a passion for their work.

I found that the prices were very reasonable, and I was able to pick up a variety of handmade goods without breaking the bank. I had a lot of fun bargaining with the shopkeepers and finding the best deals on my purchases.
