The Story of Rajasthan

Rajasthan, the "Land of Kings," is India's largest state and a world unto itself. From the pink streets of Jaipur to the blue city of Jodhpur, the white city of Udaipur set on shimmering lakes, and the golden dunes of Jaisalmer ??? every corner tells a different story. This is a land where camels are still the preferred desert transport, where havelis sport intricate frescoes dating back centuries, and where the sound of folk music drifts through the desert air at sunset. Rajasthan offers an experience unlike anywhere else on Earth ??? a living museum of Indian royalty, culture, cuisine, and craftsmanship.
