Rajasthan or “Land of Kings” when translated in English is India’s largest state in terms of land area. A region once ruled by kings with remnants of palaces and forts that remind you of its imperial history. Having a vast assortment of restored heritage hotels brings an exotic experience of modern and traditional feel.
If you plan to spend your vacation here, be sure to visit the following sites when in Rajasthan.
