India > popular all-time > The state of Rajasthan is located in the Western part of India. Sand dunes, wooded hills, and amazing lakes & palaces come together with men & women in colourful turbans & skits to make a visit enchanting. The mood & rhythm changes from one region to the other but what hits you most is the warm and friendly smiles across the region. Some of the major tourists destinations of Pushkar, Jaisalmer, Jodhpur & Jaipur are located in this State as also some of the best wildlife sanctuaries. The history of Rajasthan dates back to 5,000 years and the heritage & rich landscape reflects the past glories of the Rajas and their palaces. While the big cities are fast moving towards a westernized life-style, its the villages and outskirts that have still retained the traditional ways. Definately worth a visit. Best time is around Aug to Oct. Time it with one of the major fairs (such as Pushkar Mela in Feb) and you will have a unique and unforgettable experience for sure.
