Best Travel Destinations of Rajasthan!

Rajasthan is a place that lures most of the tourists because of its spirited customs and heritage. The state contains so much charisma in itself, from architecture to clothing everything is exotic. Ample Forts, Mansions, Wildlife Sanctuaries, some of which have already been declared as Unesco’s World Heritage Sites. Above all, we can not forget Lakes, Fares and the enigmatic color coding of cities which mesmerizes the visitors very much.

Another thing about Rajasthan is that people there are very hostile. They greet visitors with overwhelming love and kindness that makes every domestic and international traveler fond of them. They also have a welcoming slogan that is  Padharo Mhare Desh which is very cliche all over the country and khamaganni (namaste).
