Understand [ edit ]

Rajasthan literally derives from the Hindustani words meaning "Land of Kings". The state is home to the Thar Desert, a large dry desert that has a wide variety of plants, animals and birds. Part of the Thar Desert is protected and contained in the Desert National Park.

Talk [ edit ]

Most people speak Rajasthani dialects, Hindi and sometimes broken English. In tourist places like Jaipur and Jodhpur, you will find trained English, German and French guides too. You may not be able to understand some people due to the dialect that they speak and at times, they may add words from these dialects while speaking Hindi. This does not mean that they are unable to understand you. In Rajasthan, Hindi is universally understood whereas English is spoken among the educated. Bear in mind that Rajasthani languages are more likely to be spoken by older people rather than younger people.

Get in [ edit ]

By plane [ edit ].

Rajasthan is one of the larger Indian states and distances are long, making planes a fairly good option for getting in. Jaipur , Jodhpur and Udaipur all have airports with direct links to many major cities, though if coming from a smaller city, one has to go via Delhi.

By train [ edit ]

Overnight trains from Delhi and Mumbai reach most of Rajasthan's major cities. For points further out, like Jaisalmer , you'll be looking at a second day on the train as well. Vande Bharat, Shatabdi and Rajdhani Express trains are excellent ones and have premium service.

By car [ edit ]

The National Highway 8 which runs through Rajasthan is excellent and connects Delhi to Mumbai. Though Mumbai may be too far away, this is the most popular way to travel to Jaipur from Delhi as the road is in excellent condition and the drive can easily be completed in under 4 hrs.

Otherwise from Delhi various private travel agencies organise trips to Rajasthan, but they are rather costly. But if you do not travel alone, it is better to hire a car with a driver (for example a car from Delhi International Airport to Neemrana Village costs ₹4000 for five persons).

By bus [ edit ]

Rajasthan Tourism and Rajasthan State Transport operate luxury air conditioned Volvo bus services between Delhi and Jaipur. The first bus departs at 5:25 and the last, at 01:00, with a frequency of approximately every half hour daily. This bus is equipped with personal LCD TV, charger and (in some trips) Wi-Fi. These buses are very comfortable and the most desired travel option between Delhi and Jaipur. Tickets can be booked online on the Rajasthan State Transport website or a visit to Scindhia House New Delhi (near India gate). Buses start and end at Scindia House in Delhi and Sindhi Camp in Jaipur. Private agents generally not allowed to book tickets for this route, so if anybody offers to book a ticket for you, be wary. Rajasthan Tourism and Rajasthan State Transport also operates luxury air conditioned Volvo bus services between Delhi and other cities in Rajasthan, with 2 or 3 trips per day. These buses may depart from any of several different areas of Delhi (Scindia House, Kashmiri Gate ISBT, and Sarai Kale Khan ISBT); a phone call to Rajasthan State Transport office will give you all the information.

By taxi [ edit ]

Taxis (locally called "call-taxis" since they must be pre-arranged) are available by phone. They are most reliable, can be ordered air-conditioned, and have digital fare meters, although time-based hire is also possible with some companies. Most companies charge a minimum fare of ₹150, which is for 5 km (3 mi), and for every subsequent kilometer they charge ₹18. Alternatively, you can hire a car for a full day for around ₹1500/2400. These figures are for essential non-AC Ambassadors, add about 50% if you want a comfier aircon Tata Indica. Waiting charges are included in the meter cost but you are required to pay parking and toll fees in addition to the fare displayed on the meter. If your trip is time-sensitive, booking your taxi a few hours in advance is best, and calling shortly before your trip to confirm.

Most prepaid taxi operators have a choice of vehicles. Innova is the ubiquitous hatchback that can seat 6 passengers, but it is almost impossible to find one of these well-maintained. Opt for a Scorpio or Fortuner instead of the Innova when you book the taxi, these are newer models and likely to be in a better state of maintenance. If you prefer a sedan, the choices are Etios, Maruti Dzire, and Ford Fiesta. SUV models Innova or Xylo have more space and are suitable for small groups (up to 7). Innova has a well-deserved reputation with travelers for airport transfers due to its reliability, spacious seats, and capacity to carry more luggage.

Tourist cabs - These are the best choice if you want to tour the city all day or visit nearby places like Jaipur, and Udaipur. Costs about ₹9 per kilometer and ₹540 per hour as hire charges. Also generally there is a special price if you need to go to Jaipur Railway Station or Jaipur Airport.

Get around [ edit ]

All the cities have public transport in form of buses. Also available are terrain vehicles on hire, but beware of terrain vehicle drivers who overcharge tourists.

Railways can be the better travel mode as it is quick and the service on most trains is excellent. But in Rajasthan, roads may be more enjoyable for short distances as the sights of the desert with the hills are beautiful. A popular drive is from Jodhpur to Jaisalmer, which is because the flight takes longer overall and the road is excellent.

A very popular option is Palace on Wheels which is a week long luxury train ride through interiors of Rajasthan.

See [ edit ]

The journey covers the destinations of Jaipur , also known as Pink City, Jaisalmer , Jodhpur , Ranthambhore National Park, Chittaurgarh, Udaipur , Bharatpur and Agra before ending at Delhi .
• Shop at the bazaars (local markets) located in most cities in narrow alleys and lanes. You can pick up traditional puppets, tie-and-dye clothes/apparel, kota textiles, accessories.

Ranthambore National Park was declared as an Indian Wildlife Sanctuary in 1957 and in 1974 it gained the protection of "Project Tiger". There are many water bodies located all over the park, which provide perfect relief during the extremely hot summer months for the forest inhabitants.

Desert safari [ edit ]

Desert safari is the best way to explore the world famous “Thar Desert”, located in Rajasthan. Tourists can explore the real beauty of Rajasthan villages, their culture, tradition and colours through this amazing ride. Multiple operators run services for Camel Safaris into the Thar desert, which is generally followed by a cultural folk music evening, accompanied by dinner featuring local Rajasthani cuisine. Traveling by Camel was once the norm in Rajasthan. Many older Rajasthanis remember a life without electricity, roads, and trains. If you wanted to travel from Jaisalmer to Jodphur, an 8-day camel ride was the quickest way to go only 60 years ago (now 8 hours by bus).

Nowadays, however, multi-day camel safaris are primarily for the tourists, and a massive industry has been built up around them. With this has come high-pressure tactics and shoddy operators. An amazing, authentic camel safari is possible, but tourists should spend time researching guides, companies, and/or routes. Your best bet is to talk to other tourists who have recently completed a camel safari, and ask their advice.

Camel safaris are often loved or hated. Some people stay an extra day or two in the desert after already being out for 4 days, others find the camel foul-smelling and excruciatingly painful to ride. For those considering a 4-5 day trek, a two-hour ride may answer many questions.

The highlights of a camel safari include amazing desert scenery, the experience (however jarring) of riding a camel, Dal and Chapati cooked over an open fire, incredible star-gazing (no ambient light and no pollution), and a flavor of a different world.

Most of the preparation is in picking the length of safari (ranges from 4 hours to 5 days), the tour operator, and the city to start from (some people feel that smaller cities offer less touristy experiences). Generally, the tour operator arranges transportation, and the Camel Driver chooses your itinerary. Be clear from the beginning, before you pay, if the trip involves stops in handicraft stores.

Because of the importance of tourism upon Rajasthan's economy, tourists are fairly safe on a camel safari in terms of physical safety. Sufficient bottled water, sunscreen, a hat, a flashlight, and warm clothes for the cold night air are important. Solo female travelers should exercise caution when selecting a camel driver/guide, but otherwise should be safe.

If you have problems, or feel you have been cheated, be firm with the tour operator, and if necessary threaten going to the police/tourist office, and be willing to actually go. Many tourist offices, such as Jaisalmer's, make efforts to keep tourists safe and happy.

Buy [ edit ]

Avoid shopping at outlets guided by the local auto/rickshaw drivers or even with the local tour guide you may have hired as these outlets all claim to have some association with the Rajasthan government or the actual artisans which are generally fabricated claims and you end up paying anywhere between 20-40% above the actual price (including a hefty commission parted by the shopkeeper to the guide/auto driver). The guide is more keen to show you all these shops rather than the places you have travelled to see.

Bargain is the key word. If you are buying jewellery, artefacts, handicrafts, etc. definitely bargain. Most tourist shops will bargain up to 30–50%, although some shops, mostly big ones such as National Handloom, India Rugs Exports, Jaipur Rugs, India Crafts, Government organizations, have fixed rates with little or no scope discount on bulk buying.

Eat and drink [ edit ]

Savory food is generally very spicy - to be enjoyed in moderation for first timers. Dairy-based sweets are also very popular in this part of the country. Restaurants are mostly vegetarian. Finding restaurants serving good non-vegetarian food could be difficult, and in general, non-vegetarian fare in road side eateries should be avoided. Bread, both leavened and unleavened, is readily available.

A typical Rajasthani meal would include daal-baati-churma. Daal is lentil curry; baati are round balls made out of wheat flour and baked on a charcoal fire; churma is a dessert made out of crushed wheat balls rolled in jaggery/sugar and topped with ghee.

Stay safe [ edit ]

As always, be cautious of your environment and be vigilant like any other tourist place. Most cities are closed by evening so it is advisable to not roam around unless you feel safe. Beware of touts. One of the safest ways to travel around is by having a driver who knows their way around Rajasthan.

There are many clinics and hospitals in major cities which provide treatment of reasonable quality at relatively inexpensive prices.

Numerous tourist attractions are part of Rajasthan tourism, all of which promise memorable experiences for history lovers, photographers and backpackers. Winter is the best time to explore Rajasthan tourism and we recommend booking your packages between October and February. Rajasthan is also a hidden treasure for luxury travellers. Not only does it give you an opportunity to experience the grandeur of the state, but it also offers a chance to stay in restored havelis and forts. Jaipur   Jaipur is typically the first destination that all travellers explore. Functioning as a gateway and the capital of Rajasthan, the Pink City is home to a plethora of forts and havelis. Promising you the perfect blend of urban comforts and an intriguing historical past, Jaipur is one of the busiest cities in Rajasthan tourism. In the past few years, Jaipur has seen drastic development which has hugely contributed to Rajasthan tourism. Among the best attractions to visit in Jaipur which are a part of Rajasthan tourism, we recommend visiting Amber Fort, Nahargarh Fort, City Palace, Choki Dhani and the many bazaars in the city. Ideal for history lovers and photographers, you can choose to enjoy history walks or even opt for a cycle tour to explore the many monuments in the city. Another big part of Rajasthan tourism is Choki Dhani which is a recreatedethnicvillage that hosts numerous dance performances, music shows and puppet performances. You can head here to enjoy local Rajasthani cuisine and also to complete your souvenir shopping. For those who would like to experience Rajasthan tourism through its bustling shopping streets, we recommend heading to Johari Bazaar, Chandpole Bazaar, Nehru Bazaar, Anokhi museum and Sireh Deori Bazaar. Udaipur Centred around Lake Pichola, Udaipur is one of the most beautiful cities which is a part of Rajasthan tourism. Promising picturesque sunsets, a glimpse into Rajasthan’s royal culture, delicious food and busy markets to keep shopaholics happy, Udaipur is a traveller’s delight. The city hosts thousands of backpackers and budget travellers from across the world and offers a typical Rajasthani experience.

Some of the more notable ones are block print, bandhani and lac jewellery.  Ajmer A big part of Rajasthan tourism for spiritual seekers, Ajmer is a small town which is home to the beautiful Ajmer Sharif. One of the most important places to visit in Rajasthan tourism, Ajmer Sharif is the Sufi shrine of Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti. Known for his secular teachings, Chishti is said to be an important person in Islamic faith. One of the best things about exploring Ajmer in Rajasthan tourism is that you can combine a visit to the city with either a visit to Pushkar or Jaipur. You can start your trip early in the morning, seek blessings in the dargah and carry on with your itinerary. Situated in the midst of a busy market, the dargah attracts peace seekers from across the world. We urge you to look after your belongings here as well as to avoid engaging with flower-sellers and shoe-keepers. For food lovers, Ajmer is a delight to explore. The markets are full of local vendors who offer popular street food including samosa chaat, aloo tikki, bhel puri and gol gappe.  Pushkar   Pushkar is a breath of fresh air for budget travellers and backpackers. Home to one of the few Brahma temples in India, it has slowly become a big part of budget Rajasthan tourism. Home to several hostels and small guesthouses, experiencing the spiritual and laid-back vibe in Pushkar doesn’t cost travellers much but does promise an experience you won’t forget. Besides the archaic Savitri Temple and Brahma Temple, visitors can enjoy trekking and rock climbing in the small hills surrounding the town. While most travellers spend their evening in Pushkar Lake which offers breathtaking views of the sunset, you can also head up to Savitri Temple in Ratnagiri Hill. Among the other beautiful places to visit in Pushkar which are a part of Rajasthan tourism, Man Mahal, Rangji Temple, Mahadeva Temple, Brahma Temple are the most visited. What also surprises travellers in Pushkar are the huge number of cafes. Since non-vegetarian food is restricted in the village, all cafes serve pure vegetarian food. The street food in the city is quite interesting and serves an assortment of falafel rolls, cabbage sandwiches and aubergine burgers. If you are here on a luxurious trip, you can stay at one of the breathtaking properties near Pushkar. Promising comfort, luxury and efficient service, these properties are ideal for those who enjoy a little grandeur on their vacation.  Jodhpur   Jodhpur is an important part of Rajasthan tourism. Touted as the Blue City and Gateway to the Thar Desert, it’s a tourist attraction which sees thousands of history lovers, photographers and art enthusiasts every year. A popular family destination, it’s counted among the most popular cities in Rajasthan tourism. Among the first few sites that travellers visit in Jodhpur, Mehrangarh Fort stands out for its beauty and grandeur. Built by Rao Jodha, it is said to be one of the largest forts in the country. Making an appearance in several Hollywood and Bollywood flicks, the fort has put Rajasthan tourism on the global map. There are seven gates in the fort which were built over time and served different purposes. If this is your first visit here, we highly recommend opting for a historical tour of the fort which includes a visit to Sheesh Mahal and Phool Mahal. At the same time, art lovers should take note of the breathtaking intricate work which is carved in all walls and makes for an inspiring sight. You can also visit the alluring Mehrangarh Museum which is one of the best museums in Rajasthan tourism. Tracing the state’s history, you can learn about the various eras as well as admire some beautiful art. But that’s not all. Jodhpur is also home to the stunning Umaid Bhawan Palace as well as Jaswant Tada. If you want to explore the city in all its glory, we recommend keeping aside at least three to four days here. Also, if you are planning a luxurious trip, you can easily stay at one of the mesmerising resorts in the city. Our favourites include Taj Hari Mahal, RAAS, the Ummed and Ajit Bhawan.  Jaisalmer   Jaisalmer is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful cities which is part of Rajasthan tourism. Popular among locals and tourists alike, it is better known as the Golden City. Unless you are travelling to the interior part of the state, this is one of the main cities where you can enjoy mesmerising views of sand dunes. Jaislamer also contributes to adventure in Rajasthan tourism. You can book luxurious camps in the midst of sand dunes, enjoy an enthralling camel safari as well as folk dances and mesmerising musical performances. If a bumpy camel safari is not what you are looking forward to, you can simply enjoy a luxurious camping experience. Don’t forget to enjoy your lavish Rajasthani meal complete with daal baati churma, mutton saag and laal maas. Visitors must also spend a few hours at Jaisalmer Fort which is in the centre of the city. The alleys of the fort are lined with age-old shops selling handicrafts, food items, vibrant apparel and lac jewellery. Remember, as is with most Indian markets, bargaining is your biggest asset here.  Chittorgarh The mere mention of the name Chittorgarh brings to mind the idea of bravery and valour. The city is home to India's largest fort complex, Chittorgarh Fort, which spans 6km in length and 500 metres in width. The fort and the city stand tall as symbols of Rajput chivalry, bravery and tragedy. Chittorgarh was the capital of the Rajput kingdom of Mewar and witnessed a number of attacks and sieges by rival kingdoms. The fort is most famous for the self-immolation (Jauhar) by Rani Padmani in response to Alauddin Khilji's siege. The city today is an architectural marvel and an unforgettable experience for history lovers while exploring Rajasthan tourism. While Chittorgarh Fort is the most popular, there are other majestic monuments and temples across the city that provide a unique experience to travellers. Tourist sites such as Vijay Stambh, Maha Sati, Gaumukh Kund and Meera Temple are frequented by travellers and locals alike. Apart from the majestic forts and temples, the city is also home to Bhainsrorgarh Wildlife Sanctuary. The sanctuary is located close to the convergence of Chambal and Bemany rivers and is home to antelopes, hyenas, chinkaras, foxes, wild boars, crocodiles, turtles and a number of migratory birds. Chittorgarh is a huge part of Rajasthan tourism and is home to numerous luxurious resorts. Some of these properties are havelis and palaces of the erstwhile kingdom. Bikaner   An oasis amidst the Thar Desert, Bikaner is fast becoming one of the top destinations in Rajasthan tourism. The city has a lot to offer travellers including the brilliant architecture of forts and temples, shopping markets and bustling food streets. The city was established in the 15th century by the Rajput ruler, Rao Bika. He also built the famous Junagadh Fort. Bikaner is one of the few cities in Rajasthan tourism which offers travellers a close tryst with the state’s vibrant culture. The city is famous for a number of festivals that are celebrated with great vigour, among which the Camel Festival is one oaf the most important festivals. The festival involves a procession of beautiful camels and the parade is usually followed by a camel race and folk performances. For travellers exploring Rajasthan tourism, the famous camel safari through the Thar Desert is an awe-inspiring experience. There are a number of other places one can explore including Karni Mata Temple, Gajner Palace and Station Road Market.

Cuisine And Best Places To Eat

Ask a foodie about the best places to eat in Rajasthan and chances are that you will get a long list. An enthralling destination for food lovers, Rajasthan's royal past is indication enough of the kind of local food you can expect. A meal fit for royalty, the local cuisine has abundant vegetarian and non-vegetarian options.

From the world-famous laal maas, daal baati churma to ker sangri, pyaaz kachori and ghee khichdi, there is little that will disappoint foodies in Rajasthan. While some parts only serve vegetarian cuisine, in most major cities, you'll get a wide variety.

While Jaipur, Udaipur and Jodhpur are some of the best places to try Rajasthani cuisine, some of the small towns will surprise you with the variety available.

The best places to eat which are a part of Rajasthan tourism are Laxmi Misthan Bhandar and Cinnamon in Jaipur, Traditional Khana Restaurant in Udaipur and Baradari Restaurant in Jodhpur.

Activities And Things To Do In Rajasthan

Safari in Ranthambore National Park

One of the biggest national parks in India, Ranthambore National Park is a huge attraction in Rajasthan tourism. Thousands of travellers head to this gorgeous national park during peak season and one can’t help but fall in love with the natural beauty the park promises. One of the biggest reasons for the national park’s popularity is its population of tigers. This is one of the few national parks which is part of Rajasthan tourism where you can hope for a tiger sighting.

Visited mostly by wildlife enthusiasts, photographers and nature lovers, the park is surrounded by low hills and deep valleys which is a big change from the usual Rajasthani landscape. Most travellers head here to enjoy the exciting jungle safari which is the best opportunity to spot the majestic tigers. Typically, safaris take place in the morning and during the evenings for a period of three to four hours. It’s best to book the first safari in the morning and the last one in the evening to increase your chances of tiger sightings.

Travellers have two options for a safari – a jeep and a bus. A jeep is definitely the better option since there are fewer people and the chances of a sighting are higher. Another reason why you should opt for a jeep is that it’s much easier to navigate and one can tackle the terrain easily. The most important thing to remember while visiting any forest area is to respect the environment and observe safety rules as told by the authorities. Safari in Sariska National Park

If you are travelling to Sariska National Park, then the best way to explore the sanctuary is by booking a thrilling safari. Home to tigers, deer, elephants, crocodiles and a huge bird population, Sariska National Park has gradually become a safe haven for tigers.

Unfortunately, this has resulted in a huge inflow of tourists which has diminished chances of a tiger sighting. So if you are looking for a sighting of the beautiful animal, you may want to include more than two to three safaris in your itinerary.

There are various resorts around the sanctuary where you can book your stay to ensure you get the best out of your trip. We also recommend booking a tour of the jungle with approved Rajasthan tourism operators. Camping in Jaisalmer

Camping in Jaisalmer is one of the best experiences which is a part of Rajasthan tourism. Offering visitors a chance to experience the warm hospitality of locals as well as the vibrant culture, a camping trip is a must in your Rajasthan itinerary.

Depending on your budget, you can choose from various camping options. From luxury, mid-budget to budget camps, travellers have a lot of choices. Most camping trips include a camel safari, cultural performances and delicious local cuisine. If you'd like to go for more elaborate camping trips, you can plan your itinerary accordingly.

Owing to the harsh temperatures in the desert, the best time to enjoy a camping trip is during winter. But it's important to remember that nights can get quite cold and you must be prepared to brave the chilly winds. Most camp operators also organise bonfires to ensure guests don't face any issues.

Rajasthan Overview

Rajasthan geography.

The state of Rajasthan is located between the Thar Desert and the Aravalli Mountains, making it one of India’s standout geographies. Its capital is Jaipur, which along with six other cities make up its main provinces. These are then further divided into thirty-three districts. Geography has played a big part in shaping the state in almost all spheres of life, as you’ll discover to your delight on a Rajasthan tour.

Head out to the sand dunes and you can do everything from camel riding or dune surfing by day and camping under the stars at night. Visit the jungles and you’ll see beautiful creatures big and small. Look up craggy hillsides and you’ll see beautiful forts clinging on. And discover reflections of this colourful state, no matter which of its lakes you peer into.

As the largest state in India, Rajasthan has more physically diverse areas than any other state. There are rolling dunes in the west rocky mountains in the middle and fertile plains in the east. Tourism in Rajasthan capitalizes on these geographical features.

In the state, surface water resources are only about 1% of the total surface water resources in the country, making it one of the driest states in the nation. A system of rain-fed rivers in the state comprises 14 significant basins subdivided into 59 sub-basins.

Luni River, which derives from the western slopes of the Aravalli Range at Ajmer, flows through semi-arid transitional plains into the Rann of Kutch and the Indian Ocean, and Banas and other streams rise on the eastern slopes of the Aravalli range and join the Chambal.

Rajasthan Climate

As India’s desert state, climatic conditions can get quite extreme at different times of the year in Rajasthan. There’s the blistering heat of summer, with temperatures reaching as high as 50 degrees. Though early mornings and late evenings can still be pleasant, this is still one of the shoulder seasons for Rajasthan tourism. Though you can always head up to the cooler climes of Mount Abu, if this is your preferred time of visit.

Meanwhile July to September sees the much-needed arrival of the monsoon, breathing fresh life into this usually semi-arid land. If you’re looking to go birding, this is the best time to visit Rajasthan . Winters arrive by mid-October and stay till around March, offering ideal day temperatures and expectedly cold nights — but with a few layers you’ll be fine! This is also when most outdoor activities and festivals come to life, promising a fulfilling getaway.

The summer season in Rajasthan begins in March. The climate remains dry and hot during the summer months, and temperatures gradually rise in April, May, and June. A few regions of Rajasthan, such as the western and eastern Aravalli Range, and other areas, such as Bikaner, Phalodi, Jaisalmer, and Barmer, experience temperatures of levels. It even reaches a maximum temperature of 49°C during the summer. Winter nights in Rajasthan are cold, with temperatures ranging from 20°C to 29°C.

Fortunately, Rajasthan has a few places like Udaipur and Mount Abu, which are great places to escape in summer to avoid the hot, blazing sun. The summer temperatures at these destinations are 38°C and 31.5°C, respectively. As night falls, temperatures drop down to 25°C or 22°C.

The most severe heat is experienced in the state's arid west and semi-arid midwest parts in June.

Rajasthan Culture

Culture has just the same appeal as any other facet of Rajasthan tourism. Arguably the country’s most vibrant and welcoming society, with roots that travel back to ancient times, the Rajasthani people are a mix of communities, beliefs and backgrounds. There are royal descendants on one hand and wandering nomads on the other. There’s growing urban districts within the same cities that hold the most antiquated landmarks. There are folk arts, crafts, dance, music — you name it! This is a place that cherishes its heritage, displays it with pride and offers experiences of it in the most intimate ways. And rest assured that all age groups will be greatly entertained throughout.

Pushkar, Teej, Makar Sankranti, with their many kite festivals, Diwali, Diwali, Teej, and Makar Sankranti are all places to savor in terms of culture. Jaipur's bazaars provide a window into the state's rich handicraft tradition, such as bandhani (tie and dye). Besides attracting big names in publishing, the Jaipur Literature Festival has also made its mark in literature. Dance and folk music are essential aspects of the culture here. Daal Baati Churma, the lentil dish with an explosion of flavors, and Laal Maas, a mutton specialty, are popular dishes.

Natraj guest house.

This beautiful 120 year-old Rajasthani building is a wonderful place to stay in Ajmer. It's very clean, the beds are incredibly comfortable (perhaps the most comfortable I've slept in in India), and the hosts are so friendly and helpful. I didn't try to the shower but everything else worked. The location is a relatively short walk to the bus stand and not far from the train station. It's also easy to walk to the market area and many restaurants from there. They also have a lovely, plant-filled terrace facing a courtyard.

Baijoo Niwas

The accomodation is lovely, with our room being really comfortable and the shared spaces were perfect escapes from the busyness of Jodhpur. The staff were excellent in providing great service at breakfast and dinner (the food is fantastic as well), and they also provided such great recommendations of what to do in the city during the day. We spent our first days in India at Baijoo Niwas, and it was the perfect introduction to the excitingness of Rajasthan. It was also easy to catch a ride on a tuktuk from outside the accomodation.

Raj Palace Resort

Sawāi Mādhopur

We stayed at Raj Palace Hotel for 1 night to do the tiger safari at Ranthambhore (which we pre-booked). The room was lovely and comfortable, we really enjoyed having cocktails by the pool and the delicious Rajasthani food cooked in the restaurant and the staff were very professional and attentive. They also organised a driver for us to visit Ranthambhore fort and allowed us to check out late as our train wasn't until the evening. We had a wonderful relaxing stay at Raj Palace Hotel and would highly recommend it.

The Elite Castle

Book into The Elite Castle. Here’s what you’ll get: A gracious welcome from Dheeraj the owner, a calm clean room (my bathroom a little less clean, a little leaky, hot water iffy, though Rajasthan in early October is still blazing) good a/c, very good rooftop restaurant, a safe, quiet sleep in a good bed, and really kind, attentive, employees. And Bruno. Go there. Meet Bruno. Stay for the good feeling all around. Five minutes from the fort. For me, best hotel in my range, two months in India.

The Ajit Bhawan - A Palace Resort

The fact that it is India's first heritage hotel. It is seeping in Rajasthani culture, heritage and hospitality. The amenities are very good. The decor and design is awesome 💯 The garden is beautiful and the trees and garden landscape, the trees and the chirping birds are just soothing. We went there for our anniversary and they treated us with a midnight cake which was presented to us in a way that took us by surprise (pleasant and mind-blowing) i will not disclose the surprise here :)

Dev Kothi - Boutique Heritage Stay

Dev Kothi is our favorite place in India so far. Manu, Mahi, Vasu, and the rest of the boys have us a warm welcome and we're always there for us throughout our stay. The room was exceptional in every way. Meals made in house can be taken on the rooftop with incredible views of the old Jodhpur and Mehrangarh Fort. 10 minutes walking up the hill to the fort. We've already decided that Jodhpur is our favorite city in Rajasthan and we'll stay here again when we return.

The Birder's Inn

I have been taking my son to places in Rajasthan, everytimr we come to India from USA. We found Birders Inn on the net and liked its rates and proximity to the National Park. We just fell in love with the ambiance, courteousness of the staff, beautiful decor, and delicious meals. Our room was large, beautifully decorated, and very comfortable. They even arranged a guide for us for a tour of the park. I highly recommend this little gem of Bharatpur.

Deeraj, Anaa, Manu and the whole family where exceptional and my stay here was the best in India to date. Great food, spacious rooms, comfy mattress, and authentic decor. Thank you 🙏

Doctor Alone

Location, views, patio, and chai are the best part. Only Hotel Bharatpur Palace is closer to the ghats. Their chai IS THE BEST EVER. Far better than any I found in Delhi, Agra, or any other city in Rajasthan. Really incredible - if you stay elsewhere, you simply must visit just for the chai - you instantly know that it tastes the way it should. Sweet, but heavy in spice and flavor. Much more concentrated flavor than most.

The cottages are great , facing the mountains and it is the right place for a relaxed holiday away from the crowd . Good food , especially the Rajasthani and North Indian food .

I visited frequently Jaipur and other places of Rajasthan near Delhi. But except Siliserh lake, I did not find any other good location except the location of Wow Hotel. The said place is adjacent to a River and natural location. Walking and sitting on the Riverside was a fantastic experience because of lake view, fresh air, scenic surrounding and peaceful serenity.

Exquisite boutique Villa, This is our favourite place to stay so far in India, high quality room services with all modern facilities, the rooms are well maintained with neat and clean, The Breakfast was sumptuous.

Also the hotel gives a feeling like a local stay enriching the Rajasthan's lifesyle . The hotel roof top offers a good view of the fort and the town.

India Ramps Up Its Promotion as a Wedding Destination – India Report

Bulbul Dhawan , Skift

May 6th, 2024 at 11:00 PM EDT

Indian weddings mean big money. The Indian government is aiming to harness India's cultural diversity and vast offerings to promote the country as the preferred domestic and international wedding destination.

Bulbul Dhawan

The Skift India Newsletter is your go-to platform for all news related to travel, tourism, airlines, and hospitality in India.

India is actively promoting itself as the next big wedding destination. At the first “Wed in India” Expo ongoing in Jaipur till Wednesday, tourism ministry official Manisha Saxena said that the rapid infrastructure development across India is aiding destination weddings. 

PM Modi’s Call: The call for Wed In India was first made by Indian Prime Minister Modi in November last year. According to Modi “wed in India” would help boost the economy if Indians hosted their weddings within their country. Skift Research’s survey reveals that Indian destination weddings have created a thriving market, estimated at $1.9 billion (INR 159.6 billion) in outbound travel spending.

“Indians, both in the country and the diaspora globally, are getting more prosperous. Better to spend more in our own country to benefit our own people and economy. That’s why ‘Wed in India’ is a great initiative,” said SK Pathak, FICCI secretary general at the first-ever Wed in India expo.

The expo was hosted not just to encourage Indians to host their weddings within the country but to make India the “world’s wedding destination.”

Who are participating: Policymakers, stakeholders from the tourism and hospitality industry and tour operators from over 50 countries are participating in the “Wed in India” expo.

Wedding venue: Saxena spoke about states like Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Orissa, Haryana, Kerala, and Goa which are already popular destinations for Wed-in-India. She also spoke about the Northeast emerging as a preferred destination.

Why Rajasthan: Rajasthan, where the expo is currently ongoing, has long been a preferred destination for celebrity weddings due to its luxurious and opulent settings. The state’s magnificent palaces forts and havelis converted into luxury heritage hotels provide a regal backdrop for extravagant celebrations.

Hotel infrastructure: Fairmont Jaipur and Raffles Udaipur in Rajasthan are known to be among the most prominent luxury wedding venues in India. Accor is now also bringing a Raffles to Jaipur and a Fairmont to Udaipur. Hilton has also selected Jaipur as the city for the launch of its Waldorf Astoria brand in India due to the city’s ability to attract high-end weddings .

Speakers also spoke about the readiness of India’s wedding ecosystem, the dynamics of wedding tourism and its impact on India’s larger tourism industry.

India, a 365-day destination: Underlining that India is 365-day destination, Saxena said, “India is not just a six-month destination from October to March. It is actually a 365-day destination. We have just launched an initiative called ‘Coolcation’ to dispel the myth that summers are hot in India. There are some cool pockets in India too.”

The business of Indian weddings: Skift earlier reported that in the November-December wedding season of 2023, 3.5 million couples got married in India, spending a cumulative amount of $57 billion. There is an emerging trend of booking luxury hotels and resorts to host extravagant weddings.

Its IPO prospectus, however, reveals that its platform allows agents to access over 750 airlines and more than a million hotels globally. 

The prospectus also reveals that B2B rates and commissions are the two main sources of revenue for the IPO-bound company. The company has several business verticals, including an online learning platform for travel agents, a booker rewards program, and a mobile-first corporate travel platform.

Air India to Start Direct Delhi-Zurich Flights in June

Air India is set to commence direct flights between Delhi and Zurich starting June 16. The carrier will operate on the route four times a week. This marks Air India’s entry into Switzerland, and with this, the airline now flies to seven destinations in mainland Europe. 

Air India CEO Campbell Wilson said, “With over 250 Swiss companies operating in India, hundreds of Indian companies in Switzerland,  and a growing Indian diaspora of nearly 18,000, these flights will cater to a strong demand for business  and leisure travel in both directions. Switzerland, a consistently top-ranking European destination for Indian tourists, will now be even more accessible.”

The airline is attempting an overhaul as it prepares for its merger with sister carrier Vistara. Wilson aims to restore Air India into a “top-tier and world-class airline”. As part of this, it is planning international expansion. The airline will operate direct flights from Delhi to Ho Chi Minh City from June, and is planning to add more destinations to its network. 

Sarovar Hotels Opens V Sarovar Portico in Jaipur

Sarovar Hotels has announced the opening of V Sarovar Portico Jaipur in Rajasthan. The 106-key property is Sarovar’s sixth property in the city. 

For Sarovar, Bangalore, Lucknow, and Jaipur are focus areas in India after emerging as hubs in the past few years, managing director Ajay Bakaya told Skift .

It also has 70 to 80 hotels in its pipeline, and by the end of 2025, it is looking at 150 operational hotels in its India portfolio. 

IndiGo Doubles Frequency of Delhi-Phuket Direct Flights

Budget carrier IndiGo has doubled its frequency of direct flights between Delhi and Thailand’s Phuket. Starting June 1, the airline will operate 14 weekly flights between the two cities instead of the current seven flights a week. 

These are in addition to the seven weekly flights that the airline operates between Delhi and Bangkok, said IndiGo global sales head Vinay Malhotra.
