Bravery and romance resound from the formidable monuments that majestically stand to tell the tale of a bygone era. The magic of vibrant Rajasthan - its rich heritage, colorful culture, exciting desert safaris, shining sand-dunes, amazing variety lush forests and varied wildlife - makes it a destination having no match. Rajasthan is often portrayed as one vast open-air museum, with its relics so well preserved that it delights even the most skeptical traveler.
MY ITINERARY:
Day1: Jaipur
When you plan to travel Rajasthan for the first time, Jaipur is the city you would like to start. So I arrived at Jaipur International airport in Sanganer at around 8.30 am and took a cab from airport to my stay at my relative's place. Not too far from city center, post breakfast I proceeded for local sightseeing of Pink City, aka Old Jaipur.
Places visited : Hawa Mahal, Jantar Mantar, City Palace and later in the evening was my shopping time in Johari Bazaar. I shopped some printed cotton dresses, Lac bangles, Jaipuri Quilts, Minakari Jewels and Mojris. You get good stuff and must have bargaining skills.
Day02 : Jaipur
Today my stay was at Chokhi Dhani Village Resort. I checked in and all set to visit Raja's Palaces, to feel their luxurious life.
Places visited : Jal Mahal, Amer Fort and Palace, Panna Meena Ka kundh, Jaigarh Fort and Nahargarh Palace.
My day got over by some entertainment and delicious Dal bati and gatte ki sabzi at Chokhi Dhani.
Day 3 : Jaipur - Pushkar
Relaxed day in Pushkar. I left from Jaipur pretty early by 8.00 am for Pushkar. I chose a night stay in Pushkar and the journey from Jaipur to Pushkar was about 3-4 hrs.
Places visited : Brahma temple, Pushkar lake.
Day 4 : Pushkar to Udaipur
From Pushkar, Chittorgarh was somewhere are 210 kms which I covered within 5 hrs. One of the largest fort and UNESCO heritage site. It was my dream to visit Chittorgarh and Kumbhalgarh. Being a Jain and one who love temples, how can I miss Jain temples in Ranakpur. My stay was in Udaipur for another 2 nights.
Places visited : Chittorgarh Fort and Ranakpur temples.
Day 5 : Udaipur
Today my trip is to Kumbhalgarh which is 80-90 kms far. Kumbhalgarh Fortress very well known as Great Wall of India.
Places visited : Kumbhalgarh Fortress, Eklingji Temple, City palace, Lake Pichola, Jagdish temple and Jag mandir in Udaipur city.
Day 06: Udaipur
For me, Udaipur is fascinating city known as Çity of Lakes.
Places visited : Gulab Baugh Zoo, Bharatiyan Lok Kala Mandal, Ahar Museum, Vintage Classic cars museum,
Day07: Its time to say good bye to Rajasthan. Will definitely visit again to explore some more.
Concluding: There is always something new to explore and that new, is centuries old here.
