About the State

Rajasthan — Beyond the Imagination

Rajasthan, meaning "Land of Kings," is India's largest state by area and one of its most captivating destinations. From the Thar Desert in the west to the Aravalli ranges in the east, it is a state of staggering contrasts — ancient fort cities, shimmering lakes, tiger reserves, and some of the world's most opulent palace hotels.

Each city in Rajasthan wears a colour: Jaipur is the Pink City, Jodhpur the Blue City, Jaisalmer the Golden City, and Udaipur — the White City of Lakes. A post-congress journey through Rajasthan is a journey through living history.

Must-See

Highlights of Rajasthan

From the Pink City to golden sand dunes — Rajasthan offers an extraordinary tapestry of history, wildlife, and culture just beyond Udaipur.

3 hrs from Udaipur

Jaipur — The Pink City

Rajasthan's capital and a UNESCO World Heritage City. Home to the Amber Fort, Hawa Mahal, Jantar Mantar observatory, and a vibrant old bazaar teeming with gems, textiles, and handicrafts.

2.5 hrs from Udaipur

Jodhpur — The Blue City

Crowned by the mighty Mehrangarh Fort, Jodhpur's blue-painted old city is one of India's most photogenic. Explore its spice markets, step wells, and rooftop cafes with fort views.

6 hrs from Udaipur

Jaisalmer — The Golden City

A living fort city rising from the Thar Desert, Jaisalmer dazzles with intricately carved havelis, camel safaris into the dunes, and magical desert sunsets under a canopy of stars.

5 hrs from Udaipur

Ranthambore National Park

One of India's premier tiger reserves, set against dramatic ruined forts. October is an excellent time for wildlife safaris — tigers, leopards, crocodiles, and rich birdlife await.

4 hrs from Udaipur

Pushkar

One of India's holiest towns, built around a sacred lake and the world's only Brahma temple. October evenings glow with temple lamps reflected on the ghats — a deeply spiritual experience.

3.5 hrs from Udaipur

Chittorgarh Fort

The largest fort in India and a symbol of Rajput honour and sacrifice. Spread over 700 acres, its towers, temples, and reservoirs tell epic tales of medieval Rajasthan.

Local Tips

Make the Most of Rajasthan

Plan a Heritage Circuit

Udaipur–Jodhpur–Jaisalmer or Udaipur–Jaipur are classic routes — either can be covered comfortably in 4–5 days post-congress.

Stay in a Palace Hotel

Rajasthan's converted palace hotels (havelis and forts-turned-resorts) offer an unparalleled experience — book well in advance during peak October season.

Taste Rajasthani Cuisine

Dal Baati Churma, Laal Maas, Ghevar, and Mirchi Bada are must-tries. Each city has its own speciality — ask locals for their favourite dhabas.

Shop for Handicrafts

Rajasthan is famous for block-print textiles, blue pottery, leatherwork, and miniature paintings. Fixed-price government emporiums are reliable for quality purchases.
