Top Attractions in Rajasthan
Jaisalmer:
Said to be right out of an Arabian Nights fable, Jaisalmer is a remarkable sandstone city that rises magically from the sand dunes of the Rajasthan desert. Jaisalmer's mesmerizing ancient fort, built in 1156, is perched high on a pedestal overlooking the city. Inside, the fort is alive and spellbinding. It houses five palaces, several temples, and some exquisite havelis (mansions), as well as shops and other residences. Jaisalmer is a giant sandcastle with a town attached with emblem of honor in a land of rough and tumble.
Jodhpur:
Beyond the 16th-century border, but it's the immediacy and grandeur of the old city, once a stop on a vital trade route, that has more and more travelers raving lies proper Jodhpur. The charming, walled old part of the city is presided over by the looming Mehrangarh Fort. The sprawling Umaid Bhawan Palace, the graceful cenotaph of Jaswant Thada and the alluring Madore Garden are the pride of Rajasthan.
Ranthambore National Park:
This national park is 1334 sq km of wild jungle scrub hemmed in by rock-strewn ridges. The landscape is dominated by the formidable 10th century Ranthambore Fort. It's a huge structure that contains ruined pavilions, splendid monuments, and dotted close are ancient temples and mosques, crocodile-filled lakes, chhatris (cenotaphs) and hides. The park was a maharajas' hunting ground till 1970 - a curious 15 years after it had become a sanctuary.

The chances of spotting a tiger in the wild at Ranthambore are amongst the best in India. In contrast with many national parks in India, Ranthambore is very accessible and easy to get to.
Pushkar:
Brahma dropped a lotus flower on the earth - so say the epics - and Pushkar floated to the surface. This pond-sized Hindu pilgrimage town is a magical desert-edged place, with one of the world's few Brahma temples. Rows of sacred Ghats front a mystically compelling lake, where hundreds of milky-coloured temples and weather-touched domes sit under an irregular, pale grey sky. For most of the year, Pushkar is a heavy-eyed little holy town that attracts a lot of backpackers and hippie types. Pushkar really comes alive for a couple of weeks in October/November, when the Pushkar Camel Fair comes to town. It's a fascinating and peculiar sight, and a great opportunity to witness an old traditional style Indian festival. Pushkar is worth a visit at any time of year though if you want to chill out
Jaipur:
