Royal Rajasthan: Forts, Palaces & Desert Nights
Free · open it in the app and customise every day.
No Indian state does grandeur like Rajasthan. Its cities each wear a colour — Jaipur's pink, Jodhpur's blue, Udaipur's white — and between them lie some of the most spectacular forts on earth.
The desert triangle
- Jaipur — Amber Fort at sunrise, the honeycomb Hawa Mahal, bazaars stacked with block-print.
- Jodhpur — mighty Mehrangarh towering over a sea of blue houses.
- Udaipur — lake palaces and the most romantic evenings in India.
Start early to beat heat and crowds, dress modestly for temples, and leave room in your bag — you will buy things.
