Rajasthan Cultural Tour

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 beautiful desert land.
