Jaisalmer

An impressive resident of Rajasthan nicknamed as the Golden City; the enthralling town of Jaisalmer stands on a ridge of yellowish sandstone which is best known for housing the age-old Jaisalmer Fort. It could truly be called the world's largest inhabitable sandcastle, and it's hard not to be charmed by the sandstone mansions, Jain temples, and colorful quilts that fill Jaisalmer's twisted streets. This Phenomenal town of grace resides in the Heart of the Thar Desert which is blessed with some of the appealing tourist attractions and fun-packed activities. Make the most of the thrill-driven activities like Camel Ride, Jeep Safari, Overnight Camping, Folk dance, and music performances, etc.

Jodhpur

In the eastern fringe of the Thar Desert, Jodhpur, dubbed “the Blue City” after the color-wash of its old townhouses, huddles below the mighty Mehrangarh Fort, the most spectacular citadel in Rajasthan, which brightens the cityscape from its huge sandstone plinth. The blue color resulted from the addition of indigo to lime-based whitewash, which was thought to protect buildings from insects and to keep them cool in summer. Over time the color caught on – there’s now even a blue-wash mosque on the road from the Jalori Gate, south of the fort.

Bikaner

The medieval territory of Bikaner was drawn out by Rao Bika, a prince of Jodhpur. Supposedly provoked by something his father said, he left home to set up his own kingdom. Bikaner thrived because of its prime location along the caravan routes between India and Western/Central Asia. It was very much enriched by trade, and therefore the merchants of Bikaner built palaces, mansions, and temples in red sandstone. Today Bikaner is that the fifth largest city in Rajasthan. Bikaner is an important defense outpost and is also known as 'camel country' since it boasts the best riding camels in all of India.

Pushkar

Located within the state of Rajasthan in India, Pushkar pilgrimage site is one among the holiest in India. This small town has around 500 temples and is taken into account to be very sacred by the Hindus. The town of Pushkar is additionally called as City of Temples. One of the foremost important Hindu temples in Pushkar is the  Temple of Brahma, which is one of its kinds in India. The small quiet town springs to life and buzzing activity every year during the famous Camel Fair that's held in Pushkar usually within the month of October.
