Rajasthan Tourism Guide For Your Family Trip To Rajasthan
Posted: Nov 03, 2018
Rajasthan means ‘The Land of Kings’, and rightly so. It is the largest state in India by area and offers a royal experience to all visitors. Known for its hospitality and the generous, welcoming nature of the locals, Rajasthan has become a favoured holiday destination for people worldwide.
Read on for ideas to help you plan your perfect trip to Rajasthan. Top 5 Mesmerizing Places to Visit in Rajasthan
1. Jaipur – Pink City
The ‘White City’ of Udaipur is known for its enchanting, serene lakes and the stark contrast it makes with the Aravalli Hills and adjacent plains. Its romantic atmosphere makes it a much-loved spot for destination weddings. Many sight-seeing locations in Udaipur are surrounded by artificial lakes built by erstwhile maharajas. Definitely visit Lake Palace and Jaisamand Lake at some point during your trip.
3. Jodhpur – Blue City
Known as the ‘Golden city’ of Rajasthan, Jaisalmer rises like a phoenix from within the majestic Thar Desert. It is called the Golden City because of the burnished colour of the sandstone used in most of the buildings. Jaisalmer is also a World Heritage Site. The major tourist attractions here are the sand dunes, desert safaris, and the sprawling, magnificent forts.
5. Pushkar
Pushkar is a comparatively traditional city and is host to some big festivals, the most popular being Holi. It is a colourful city and sprawls around a beautiful lake. In fact, this lake is said to have been formed when Lord Brahma struck a demon with his weapon, a lotus flower. The demon was killed and three lotus petals fell to earth, one on Pushkar, giving it its name. You might want to plan a visit to Pushkar during the annual camel fair. This falls every November and is sure to be a unique experience. Rajasthan tourism is incomplete without visiting these places.

How to reach Rajasthan
Rajasthan, being a hot desert state, is at its most pleasant during October-February, when the heat abates a little. Keep in mind the climatic conditions – in the warmer months of the year (say, June) temperatures could rise up to 46 degrees Celsius.
Rainfall in Rajasthan is a beautiful sight, although it is rare. However, if your heart is set on watching the rains while you are there, consider planning a trip between July and September. The temperature isn’t extremely hot or cold at this time, but you can expect days to be much warmer compared to the nights.
