Amazing legends of heroism and romance still resound from its
equally amazing architecture, that still stands to narrate its
tale of a bygone era. The magic of Rajasthan is unequalled in
the world for its heritage, culture, safaris, sand dunes and
lush green forests with its wildlife. |

Jodhpur |
| |
This bustling
desert city is the second largest city in Rajasthan
after Jaipur and has landscape dominated by the massive
Meherangarh Fort topping a sheer rocky ridge.
The old
city is fenced by 10 km long wall with eight Gates
leading out of it. The new city is outside the walled
city. Rao Jodha, a chief of the Rathore clan, founded
the city in 1459 and it is named after
him.
Jodhpur has two railway stations, City and
Rai ka Bagh both are outside the walled city. The bus
stand is right outside the Rai ka Bagh Station. The High
Court is a while from the bus stand after the Umed
Gardens, after which is located the tourist reception
centre and RTDC Hotel Ghoomer. Ahead is the main market
and entry in to the wall from Sojati Gate. This area
also has many hotels. Jodhpur is also military and air
force station and has a large cantonment and airbase.

Udaipur |
| |
Udaipur is known as the
Venice of the east. It is also called the city of lakes.
The Lake Palace on Jag Niwas Island in the middle of
Pichola Lakes is the finest example of its architectural
and cultural explosion. The grand City Palace on the
banks of the lake compliments the palace along with the
Monsoon Palace (Sajjan Garh) on the hill above. Udaipur
is also the centre for performing arts, craft and its
famed miniature paintings.The Shilp Gram festival is a
center of attraction during the season.
Maharana
Udai Singh II founded Udaipur in 1568 after his citadel
Chittorgarh was sacked by Mughal Emperor Akbar. The
legends says that Udai Singh was guided by a holy man
meditating on the hill near Pichola Lake to establish
his capital on this very spot. Surrounded by Aravali
Ranges, forests and lakes this place was less vulnerable
than Chittorgarh. Maharana Udai Singh died in 1572 and
was succeeded by Maharana Pratap who valiantly defended
Udaipur from subsequent Mughal attacks. Maharana Pratap
is the most revered Rajput icon and gallantly fought the
Mughal at the Haldighati in 1576. Mewar continuously
defied foreign invaders and has a history of bloody
battles until the British intervention in the nineteenth
when a treaty was signed to protect Udaipur. Upon
independence Udaipur merged in the union of India. |

Jaisalmer |
| |
Its like straight out of an
Arabian Nights fable. The name Jaisalmer induces a
dramatic picture of utter magic and brilliance of the
desert. The hostile terrain not with standing the warmth
and colour of people is simply over whelming. One of the
main draws is the daunting 12th century Jaisalmer Fort.
The beautiful havelis which were built by wealthy
merchants of Jaisalmer are yet another interesting
aspect of the desert city. And you can let your eyes
caress the sloppy sand dunes while you ramble your way
in a camel safari. The desert citadel is truly a golden
fantasy in Thar Desert. Bhatti Rajput ruler Rawal
Jaisal, after whom the city finds its name, founded
Jaisalmer in 1156.
On advice of a local hermit
Eesaal he chose the Tricut Hills as his new abode
abandoning his vulnerable old fort at Luderwa just 16
kilometres northwest. In Medieval times, its prosperity
was due to its location on the main trade route linking
India to Egypt, Arabia, Persia, Africa and the West. The
Bhatti Rajput rulers lined their coffer with gains from
traditional taxes on passing by caravans and sometimes
through illicit gains by rustling cattle. |

Bikaner |
| |
Lying in the north of the
desert state, the city is dotted with scores of sand
dunes. Bikaner retains the medieval grandeur that
permeates the city's lifestyle. More readily called the
camel country, the city is distinguished for the best
riding camels in the world and hence boasts of having
one of the largest Camel research and breeading farm in
the world. The ship of the desert is an inseparable part
of life here. A camel besides doing transportation
duties, also works on wells. These are built on high
plinths with slender minarets on each of the four
corners and can be noticed even from a distance.
The history of Bikaner dates back to 1488 when a
Rathore prince, Rao Bikaji founded his kingdom. Bikaji
was one the five sons of Rao Jodhaji the illustrious
founder of Jodhpur. But Rao Bikaji was the most
adventurous of them. It is said that an insensitive
remark from his father about his whispering in the
Durbar provoked Bikaji to set up his own kingdom towards
the north of Jodhpur. The barren wilderness called
Jangladesh became his focus point and he transformed it
to an impressive city. He accomplished his task with 100
cavalry horses and 500 soldiers, and established his
kingdom on 84 villages abandoned by the 'Shankhlas'.
When Bikaji died in 1504 his rule had extended to over
3000 villages. |
