Rajasthan: The Land of Kings

Known as "The Land of Kings", Rajasthan is India's crown of royal heritage, majestic forts, golden deserts, and vibrant culture. From the pink-hued streets of Jaipur to the blue alleys of Jodhpur, the romantic lakes of Udaipur, the golden dunes of Jaisalmer, and the sacred town of Pushkar, Rajasthan offers a journey into India’s glorious past — a place where history lives in every stone and culture dances in every color.

📅 Best Time to Visit Rajasthan

  • October to March: The ideal time to visit. Pleasant weather makes it perfect for desert safaris, sightseeing, festivals, and exploring cities.

  • Monsoon (July to September): Brings a fresh charm to the Aravallis and heritage sites. Great for off-season travel lovers.

  • Avoid April to June: The summer heat can be intense, especially in the desert regions.

A 7 to 10-day trip is perfect to cover the major highlights of Rajasthan.
