Rajasthan tour | Best place in Rajasthan to explore
You are also thinking to explore Rajasthan. So here some tip
and knowledge about that tour. Read fully than your trip become happily and
satisfies. Let’s start
Keeps the festive fervor going with a quick trip to Bikaner, the city of golden sands, starry skies, delish regional fare and a glorious past!
Overshadowed by its celebrity cousins – Udaipur, Jaipur, this remains fairly unexplored as a holiday destination. The red hues of Bikaner are somewhat lost amid the neighboring hues of blue pink and gold. With a genuine untrammeled vied and certain rustic charm, the city of Bikaner has a unique flavor of it.
Art and Architecture

| Junagarh Fort |
To delve deeper into Bikaner’s history, we start our royal
exploration at the strikingly clean and well-preserved Junagarh Fort. The imposing red stand stone façade
of the 15th century fort boasts of Italian marble courtyards,
beautiful fresco paintings, glass mosaic, gold leaf decoration and pearl-white
stucco work. We spend almost two hours admiring its various mahals.
What particularly
catches our attention is the Badal Mahal painted all over in blue and white to
depict clouds and lighting. A small tank is constructed to produce rain shower!
The fort museum is a treasure house of medals, dresses, headgear and other
items of the bygone era. The extensive collection of weapons and swords is must
see for anyone with a fetish for weaponry. The highlight is the DH-9DE
Havilland fighter plane form World War 1.
We move on for a rendezvous with Rampuria havelis, the most
famous cluster of havelis in Joshiwara or Old Bikaner. Constructed from red
dulmera sandstone for the wealthy merchant clan of Rampuria, these aristocratic
homes boast of latticed windows, intricate jharokhas and exquisite wood
carving.
Swarna mahal at Laxmi Niwas Palace serves a dauntingly elaborate thali! For lovers of literature and gastronomy, the seven-course Literary Lunch curated by Narandra Bhawan is unmissable. With each course, you read out a passage from a novel before its representative dish is presented. Every dish is inspired by descriptions of food in fiction and beautifully garnished.
Another must
visit is Narendra Bhawan, the townhouse where the last reining Maharaja of Bikaner,
Narendra Singh, lived until his passing in 2003. Here modern Indian furniture
effortlessly blends with Portuguese tiles and tribal artworks to create an
eclectic setting, while tasteful designs and decor elements narrate stories of
Singh's fashionable life and frequent trips abroad.
Street Binge

| kachori |
The whiff of freshly-fried bhujia and mithai vendors at every corner. Skip mass bhujia producers for more local, hole-in-the-wall shops like Bishanlal Babulal and Bhikharam chandmal. We also sample khasta kachori and lassi at Chotu Motu Joshi. Stuffed with potato with yoghurt, chutney, onion, pomrgranate, sev and coriander, the deep-fried kachori is simply delicious. Wind up your meal with lovely ghevar.
TRY: Khasta Kachori – deep fried, puffed pastry with spicy moong dal
stuffing and topped with chutneys, onion, yogurt and sev. Great for break-fast
Most evening
in Bikaner is spent watching the sky changing its colors with setting sun.
However, one of the most ethereal and intimate experiences is the sundowner at
Darbari village, around 22 km from city. A stretch of soft green pastures and
lush oasis, Darbari Lake was once the favorite game hunting spot for the
maharajas of Bikaner. Post hunting, they would dine here in style and feast on
glass of wine and traditional game meat like quail and goat amid a mesmerizing
ambience of white shamianas, surrounded by lanterns and candles. With a
flautist serenading us under the star-lit sky, we recreate the enchanting “White
Night of Rajputs”.
Must-do
§ Take a day trip to the camel Research Farm, located on the Jodhpur bypass road about 8 km from Bikaner city. Make sure to be there by 3 pm when all 400 camels, with their young ones, return to their shelter after a session of grazing. Learn to distinguish between Bikaneri, Jaisalmeri, Kutchi and Marwari breeds of camel. At the milk parlour, enjoy ice-creams and kuifis made from salty camel milk.

My suggestion is that the Rajasthan is nice place to travel
and its fantastic forts to explore. But it was better to go in winters because
you can’t explore fully in summer because it is too hot.
If you can follow that tips so it can be remember-able trip
for you. If you really like this so comment guys.
