Rajasthan is perhaps one of the most visited destinations in India. There is a certain magic about traveling through this place. Everything is beautiful, impressive and fascinating. Packed with history, art and culture dating back to several centuries, the whole place has been well preserved as can be seen in the ancient forts, monuments, palaces of the region which all regale with tales of the rich cultural heritage of this place.
