Any traveler looking for mesmerizing history and culture, alongside opulent resorts that can’t be surpassed, should consider visiting the region of Rajasthan. You’ll be surrounded by the regal grandeur of historical palaces with the choice to embark on exclusive wildlife adventures, master authentic Rajasthani food, and discover the craft heritage of Jaipur’s bazaars.
Rajasthan is a jewel of Bharat (a traditional name for the country), and luxury vacations to India promise an experience like no other. There is a reason why the state has been nicknamed the ‘Land of Kings’. Here is how Rajasthan’s royal background will permeate every part of your getaway.
Stay In Royal Palaces
You’ll get a taste of regal living while staying in Rajasthan’s palace hotels. The region was home to more than 18 royal families, including the Rajputs. They built many forts and palaces as personal residences during their rule and now we get to stay in them too!
The Umaid Palace in Jodhpur is one of the world’s largest private homes and is a majestic blend of marble courtyards, grand ballrooms, and landscaped gardens. Meanwhile, the Lake Palace in Udiapur floats serenely on Lake Pichola and provides an unmatched romantic ambiance at sunset.
Explore Rajasthan’s Forts and Monuments
There is no shortage of grand forts and monuments in Rajasthan, each one telling a story of heroic kinds, epic battles, and architectural brilliance.
The Amber Fort in Jaipur is a fusion of Hindu and Mughal styles and private tours through its mirrored halls and intricate courtyards reveal the opulence that defined Rajasthan’s ruling dynasties.
The Bhainsrorgarth Fort is nearly 300 years old and still run by descendants of the original family, who not only act as hosts but as guides around the local area.
Located on the busy streets of Jaipur is the Hawa Mahal, a breathtaking palace built out of red and pink sandstone and one of the most visited monuments in the entire state.
Private Safaris in Ranthambore
If you’re looking to venture into Rajasthan’s lush forests and grasslands, the Ranthambore National Park offers some of the best wildlife encounters in India. This 1334 square km of former royal hunting grounds gives you the chance to encounter water buffalos, wild boars, tigers, and leopards.
