Overview

Why travellers love Rajasthan

Royal palaces, hilltop forts, colourful bazaars and nights under desert stars — Rajasthan is India's grand storybook. Plan around October – March for the best weather, and allow 6 – 10 days to see it properly.

Rajasthan, the "Land of Kings", is India's largest state and its most colourful. Hilltop forts, marble palaces, lake cities, desert dunes and a living tradition of folk music, textiles and royal cuisine are all part of the journey.
