Why Rajasthan ?

Rajasthan is known for its vivid colors. The royal splendor, affluence, and power of the Rajputs made them synonymous with the land they ruled, even though they were just handful in number. The rich architectural inheritance of Rajasthan includes most highly wrought palaces that have now been turned into museums or luxury heritage hotels and lure tourists with their delicate and unique features. Some of the most luxurious and well-preserved palaces that you can live in now include Lake Palace, Udai Vilas, Raj Vilas palace, and Samode Palace.
