Tweet

India is a subcontinental country (land touching water bodies on three sides), easily recognizable on the world map. India holds virtually every kind of landscape one can imagine about. From th highest chain of mountains in the world, Himalayas to the deserts and forts of Rajasthan and stretching down further to the kush greens of Kerala, it is one of the most beautiful and unique tourist spots in the world. The cultural diversity of India only adds to its beauty. Now there is so much about India that It might take a life time to write about it so I will round up to the main motive behind this discussion. I will try and bring out one particular area of India as a tourist spot and explain about its beauty, places to visit and cons too. To start of Let's begin with the princely state of India and home to all the desert lands in the country. Yes ladies & gentleman, we are going on a trip to Rajasthan. Area wise, Rajasthan is one of the largest state in the country. The state accounts for a majority of Thar desert in terms of area. Its capital city is Jaipur which is better known as the Pink City due to the colour of the old buildings in there. Rajasthan has a rich and colourful history which makes it one of the most popular tourist destinations in India. The rich and varied folk culture from villages is fascinating and mesmerizing. The Ghoomar and Kalbeliya dance have already gained international recognition. The state houses the highest number of forts and palaces in India. When in Rajasthan one should make sure to visit the following cities to see the major and largest forts and palaces with astonishing architecture. Jaipur - Places to visit- Amber fort(famous for its glass house and a maze), Jaigarh fort (houses the world's largest cannon), Nahargarg (highest fort overlooking the entire city), City Palace (Its got two mobile water pots large enough to cater to an entire army for days), Hawa Mahal. Jaisalmer - Places to visit- Jaisalmer fort (simply huge. Till date 1/4 of the entire city's population resides inside the fort. Yes its that big)In addition you can enjoy the desert surroundings and sand dunes around the city. Udaipur - Places to visit- Known as the city of lakes it is one of the most beautiful cities to visit in India. City Palace, Nehru Garden. Bikaner - Places to visit- Junagarh Fort, Lalgarh Palace, Karni Mata Temple, Shiv Bari Temple. Cons- The only major negative about this area is that its hot and hot and scorching hot during summers. So be prepared for that. There's a lot more but this is all I can manage in one go. In case people who are planning for an international vacation want to know more about India, I will be glad to help out.
