From the semi-green forests of Mount Abu to the dry grasslands of the
desert, from the dry, deciduous thorn forest of Aravali to the
wetlands of Bharatpur, Rajasthan is vast and has an enormously varied
vegetation and terrain, some of it, though quite hostile, is home to a
surprising number of mammals and birds. Tiger and leopard, as well as
many endangered species, find a haven here. Though known as the Desert
State, Rajasthan, situated in the northwestern part of India, has a
number of exotic palaces with beautiful gardens, fountains, temples
and forts constructed and decorated with amazing artistry, including
mirrored walls and galleries, painted streets and secret passages and
dungeons.
One of the most magnificent is Kuchaman Fort, which sits on top of a
steep hill 300 metres high, in the Nagaur district, along what was
once part of the Central Asian trade route. A symbol of Rajasthan's
glorious history, it was built by the Gujjar Pratihara dynasty as far
back as 760AD. Once the site of great battles, Kuchaman Fort was known
for being impregnable: its five gates are arranged in such a way that
is impossible to enter without being attacked from every direction.
The Fort is now a 34-room hotel, where rooms cost from
���£46 per
night.
Jaisalmer, another former princely state, is a desert city nestling in
the foothills of Trikuta, boasting colossal forts, palaces and havelis
(private residences, often converted into mi-range or luxury hotels).
Its 12th-century citadel, rising like a golden sandcastle from the
desert, is a masterpiece of the stonecarver�¯�¿�½s
art. The town,
though no
longer an isolated place but rimmed with hotels and crammed with
tourists, is also well worth a visit.

For a different experience in Rajasthan, step aboard the Palace on
Wheels, formerly the personal railway coaches of the rulers of the
princely states of Gujrat and Rajputana. For one glorious week, you
can recapture the pomp and ceremony of the royal past on one of the
most luxurious trains in the world. A journey on the Palace on Wheels
takes you to the pink state capital, Jaipur, the golden citadel of
Jaisalmer, the blue city of Jodhpur, the National Park Ramthambhor,
the nine-storey Tower of Victory of Chittorgarh, the romantic city of
lakes. Udaipur, the bird sanctuary at Bharatpur and the Mughal
capital, Agra.
Its not all history in Rajasthan. If you want to get out and about,
there are water sports, horse, camel and other safaris, bird-watching
trips, trekking, ballooning and parasailing adventures to tempt you.
Rajasthan has the best reputation for law and order of any state in
India and is safe and secure to travel in, as well as being easily
accessible by air, train and road from Delhi (260 km away), Agra and
Mumbai.
