I was always fascinated with the thought of traveling to Rajasthan. I grew up with many interesting stories related to it, and was always impressed. The stories of their culture, their forts, people, sand, camels, traditions, food, festivals, sand, etc. Everything seemed so interesting. I have traveled all over India, but never made it to Rajasthan.
