Rajasthan, the land of the Kings, in India at its
exotic and colourful best with its bettle-scarred forts, its palaces of
breathtaking grandeur and whimsical charm, its riotous colours and even
its romantic sense of pride and honour. The state is diagonally divided
into the hilly and rugged south-eastern region and the barren
north-western Thar desert, which extends across the border into
Pakistan. There are also a number of centres which attract travellers
from far and wide, such as Pushkar with its holy lake, and the desert
city of Jaisalmer which resembles a fantasy from the The Thousand & One
Nights. Rajasthan is one of India's prime tourist destinations. Nobody
leaves here without priceless memories, a bundle of souvenirs, and an
address book full of friends.
