Rajasthan Maharaja Tour
Think about Rajasthan and the picture of people clad in brightly colored clothes,
riding camels through the ever-lasting stretches of sand seem to invite you
to the land of Kings. A stay at any of the magnificent forts and splendid palaces
of the Maharajas of the bygone centuries, now a part of the India heritage will
for sure turn you into a prince or princess for a day. The royal families of
Rajasthan are world renowned for their chivalry, tragedy and romance. The rulers
of the land have been exemplary in their wars and the ranis have been epitomes
of beauty. The painted wall and the beautiful decorations of the houses leave
their own mark amidst the huge castles of the rulers. It is the colors of the
people and their costumes that break the dullness caused by the yellow sand
and the cloudless sky.
