    Rajasthan is full of vibrant colors. The exotic forts are the prime attraction of this place. I went to Rajasthan couple of months back. I visited all the forts; the moment you step into these forts you feel like you have stepped into a chapter of bygone era. The festivals especially the camel festival is worth a visit.

  3. Rajasthan has so much to see, with long travel distances between top sites, that a trip here requires careful planning. First off, I suggest you take a look at the area,suing Google maps.You will get some idea about the locations. Try to draw up a logical sequence of places to start with. I’m sure others on this topic will also give you useful ideas.
