Indulge in the land of plenty - Welcome to the Land of the Kings
Wander in the vast wilderness of the sacred sands, where the lost river Saraswati retreated to the mother earth, and harks for us to celebrate her again. Wander in a land of contrast, with relic Aravali splitting the great Thar, and in-between, lives the spirit of the time. As, Mehergarh looms over the azure Jodhpur, Jaisalmer’s sandcastle glows under the blazing Sun, and Udaipur palaces cajole with its pomp, a caravan’s retreat waits in Pushkar, and the stories of epochs still echo in Bikaner Havelis. The canals, reservoirs, wells, and dry fountains will tell you the tale of a city, and how it got vanquished in the layers of time, with no water in its life, how it ran dry. A city that once lived in her bounty had been abandoned eventually, in time, leaving its remnants inside the walls, as, the ghost city – slumbers watching from the distance, the beauty of that tear on the cheek of the world. Stroll through the streets of the city that will take you to the Northwestern Front. Experience the germination of the city that still hangs in the air, from the distant past of the Mahabharata era to the time of Lutyens' city. Experience the seat of power, used from about 2 Millennia BC.
