Places to see

Its people and its history are equally vibrant, whether watching weavers at work in a traditional village or standing on the ramparts of an ancient fort.

From the 'pink city' of Jaipur to the tranquil waters of Udaipur's famed lake, the state is home to some of India's most revered and well-known sites. One day you could be taking tea in a Maharaja's palace, the next you might be tracking tigers through the grassy meadows of the Ranthambore National Park; no two days in Rajasthan are the same.

Beyond Rajasthan lies India's vibrant capital Delhi, where the Red Fort and bustling spice markets tell stories of centuries past, while nearby Agra houses the world's most famous monument of love, the breathtaking Taj Mahal.

Outside the main cities, the countryside is dotted with traditional villages, where a slower pace awaits. Whether exploring local markets, staying in a 17th century fort or taking part in an opium ceremony, Rajasthan and its neighbouring treasures offer a true taste of India.
