Set in Jaipur, the film not only shows India in all its beauty but also manages to capture some of the essence of the country: the noise, the dirt, the contrasting images – cows competing with cars in streets – creating an effect which of the star of
the film, Judy Dench, summed up as “I find it a complete assault of the senses.”

Royal Rajasthan is the land of the Maharajas. So if you like historic forts and marble palaces rising from idyllic lakes this is the holiday for you.

The capital of Rajasthan, Jaipur, the Pink City, has numerous forts and palaces but perhaps at the forefront is the 17th century Amber Fort Palace. You can explore the Maharajah’s apartments marvel at the opulence and understand what it was like to “live like a Maharaja”.

Get back down to earth, head out to the Old City visit the markets and purchase some of the unique handicrafts available.
Or take a ride on an elephant.

If you’re traveling in November, a massive event is the Pushkar Camel Fair which draws farmers and traders from all
over Rajasthan. And it’s not just about camels. It’s an exotic fair par excellence.

Before saying goodbye to Rajasthan you must visit Jodhpur. With the majestic Mehrangarh Fort towering over opulent palaces, colourful bazaars and the sands of the Thar Desert Jodhpur epitomizes all the romance and feudal splendour
of Rajasthan.
