Top 10 Best Places to Explore in Rajasthan

Rajasthan, an Indian state near to Pakistan's border, is located in northern India. Because of its stunning terrain, which includes the vast Thar Desert and the majestic Aravallis Mountains, this amazing state is a favorite tourist destination. Rajasthan is a wonderful place to visit if you want to learn about Rajput culture and see palaces and temples built by Rajput monarchs in the past. As you travel around Rajasthan, try to include as many of these great spots to visit as possible on your itinerary.

 

• Mount Abu

Mount Abu is a hill station with breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside. A summit with a rocky plateau means there's a lot of room to explore, not to mention a lot of things to do. Nakki Lake is a must-see attraction near Mount Abu, and you can rent a paddle boat for a reasonable price to get out on the water and see the surrounding slopes. The Dilwara Temples near Mount Abu will also be of interest. These Jain temples, which date from around the 12th century, are fashioned from magnificent white marble.

 

 

• Bikaner

Although Bikaner has a palace, an ancient fort, and even a camel research center, it is best known among Indians as a sweet-toothed foodie's paradise. Kesar Kulfi, a sweet and iced dessert that is wonderful and refreshing on a hot afternoon, is one of the local specialties that you should absolutely try. Bikaner is known for its desert safaris, where visitors can ride a camel into the desert to learn about the local culture and nature. Junagarh Fort, erected in the 16th century and now housing a large museum about the region, is impossible to miss when visiting Bikaner.

 

 

• Chittorgarh

The Chittorgarh Fort, located on the banks of the Berach River, is a particularly impressive site in the city of Chittorgarh. The fort, which was built in the seventh century and is guarded by seven gates, is one of India's largest. Because the fort is so huge, viewing it all in one day can be difficult. Begin with the 15th-century Victory Tower, which is magnificently illuminated each night. Make time to visit Rana Kumbha's Palace, the fort's oldest structure, as well as the Meera Temple, which celebrates Vishnu and houses a significant collection of statues.

 

 

• Ranthambhore National Park

This national park is also a wildlife sanctuary, and it is one of the best places in the world to see wild tigers. To tour the park and see the creatures up close, you can schedule a wildlife safari. For adventurous guests, a smaller open-top vehicle known as a gypsy is recommended, while larger open-top cars known as canters provide a bit more protection. Ranthambhore National Park is home to tigers, as well as leopards, hyenas, sloth bears, and a variety of other animals. A safari will also provide you the opportunity to visit Ranthambhore Fort, which dates from the 10th century.

 

 

• Bundi

Bundi is a one-of-a-kind location famous for its step wells. Despite the fact that this method of water collection is no longer employed in the city, Bundi still has over 50 step wells visible. The Queen's Step Well is the most well-known, with over 200 steps dating back to the 15th century. The Taragarh Fort, built in the 16th century and now housing a massive art collection, is also worth visiting in Bundi. At one of the lakes surrounding Bundi, you may easily escape the city, or go on a wildlife safari at the Ramgarh Vishdhari Sanctuary.

 

 

• Pushkar

Pushkar is a sacred city well known for its Brahma temple and yearly camel fair. Brahma is one-third of Hindu religion's sacred trinity, and Pushkar is supposed to be Brahma's residence. The Brahma temple at Pushkar is tough to miss, especially with the numerous chanting ceremonies that take place throughout the day. There are also temples dedicated to Vishnu, Savitri, and Shiva in Pushkar. Pushkar comes alive every November with a camel fair and Hindu pilgrimage.

 

 

• Jodhpur

On the edge of the Thar Desert stands Jodhpur, often known as the Blue City. It gets its bright moniker from the city's many blue residences, which give it a blue appearance when viewed from above. Jodhpur, a historic city full with forts and temples, is a popular tourist destination. A visit to the Mehrangarh Fort, Rajasthan's greatest fort, would be incomplete without a tour of the 15th century fort. A beautiful mirrored hall, elaborate sandstone screens in the Zenana Deodi, the Chamunda Mataji Temple, and even a handful of costumed persons bring the fort to life are all found within the fort complex.

 

 

• Jaipur

Rajasthan's capital, Jaipur, is a lively city with a plethora of interesting sights and things to do. Jaipur is one of the Golden Triangle's three corners, and it's an excellent starting point for exploring Rajasthan's lesser-known locations. Amber Fort, Nahargarh Fort, and Jaigarh Fort are the three most important forts in Jaipur. The City Palace, a spectacular blend of Mughal and Rajput design that is so large that most visitors won't be able to see it all in a single day, is well worth visiting. There are a number of temples in Jaipur, as well as a large bazaar that comes alive each night as the sun sets.

 

 

• Jaisalmer

Jaisalmer, often known as the Golden City, is a fascinating city on the Thar Desert's outskirts. The Jaisalmer Fort, or Sonar Qila, which is still inhabited, is one of the city's most prominent attractions. Jaisalmer, unlike almost every other fort in India, is fully operational, with private apartments, stores, and even restaurants. Souvenir shopping in the fort is a delightful activity, with bronze statues and silver jewellery among the most popular items. A number of temples can also be seen within the fort's walls. Most of these Jain temples are available to the public in the morning and date back to the 12th century.

 

 

• Udaipur

The lakes are a major attraction of Udaipur, which is known as the City of Lakes. Fateh Sagar and Pichola, two of the largest lakes, are man-made, but their beauty is undeniable. Udaipur City Palace, a collection of palaces, museums, and gardens in a variety of architectural styles, is the major reason to visit. Within the City Palace, you can see shrines, temples, royal apartments, and art collections. Jagdish Shrine, Udaipur's most well-known temple, is located just north of the palace. The temple, which is dedicated to Lord Vishnu and features beautiful carvings, has become a municipal landmark.
