I want to Rajastan
Jaipur
Jaipur is the capital of the state, and one of the most filled with sights of cities. The houses here are mainly built of pink stone, so Jaipur is called the “pink city”. Here you need to take a walk along the streets of the Old City, be sure to see the main symbol of the city-the Palace of the Winds of the Hava-Mahal, look at the Palace of Mahardzhi and the Palace of Jal Mahal, wander among the prefix monkeys in the temple of monkeys (Galta Ji),
To visit the forts of Jaigarch, Nahargar and visit the Ambert fortress, standing on a hill.
Jodhpur
Another “color” city is Jodhpur. In the city itself, this is not felt so much, but if you look at it from the surrounding hills, it instantly becomes clear that it wears the name “Blue City” for a reason. A few kilometers around the houses with blue walls and roofs stretch around and looks amazing. Fortress Meadhranarch is the best place to look at the city from a height of 125 meters, and if you want to see the palace, which is called one of the most beautiful in India, then go to Umaid Bhawan; This, by the way, is the largest private residence in the world.
Jaisalmer
Jiasalmer is a city located in the Tar desert, built of yellow-brown sandstone, for which he received the nickname “Golden”. Jaisalmer is notable for the fact that on its territory there is one of the few populated fortresses in the world, so tourists come there to look at sights, and local residents simply live their usual life. But the main thing that they go to Jaisalmer for is Camel Safari, camel tours in the desert. Moreover, you can just ride a couple of hours among the endless marks, or you can go on a long round for a few days, with nights under the starry sky – the longest route along the desert runs between the Jaisalmer and the bicaner.
Bikaner
Directly in the city you can see several attractions, in particular the old fort, a couple of temples and several ancient havels – mansions decorated with skillful stone and wood carvings, as well as frescoes. But the most unusual place is 30 kilometers from the city – this is the temple of rats of Carney Mata. About 20,000 rodents live in the temple and they are revered as sacred animals; Many Indians come here to make an offer, but tourists in order to look at this exotic. The place, frankly, is ambiguous-it is difficult to express emotions that arise here in a word-this is something between surprise, curiosity, disgust and disgust, but to complete the picture, of course, is worth it.
Udaipur
One of the most picturesque cities in Rajastan, Udaipur is especially popular among the newlyweds, for which he is called the city of lakes, palaces and weddings. Here you need to visit the palaces and just walk along the narrow streets of the city, where life boils from morning to evening – tourists and townspeople, pedestrians and motorcyclists, motiks and cows; All this is in constant movement and does not stop for a second. And if you get tired of the noise, be sure to climb onto the roof of one of the many and popular Rooftop cafes located on the shore of Lake Picula. Here you can take a breath and have lunch, enjoying silence and calm.
These five cities are most popular among tourists, but in addition to them in Rajastan there are still many interesting places – Pushkar, Mandava, Mount Abu, Chittorch, Bundy, Speak, Sanganer and other small towns. So this state is a real storehouse for both India lovers and those who want to get to know the country for the first time.
