India offers immense climatic diversity and topographical varieties. Deserts form the backdrop of many a legend in India, and in the present times, are touted as destinations of tourist interest. The Thar or Great Indian Desert is an arid region in North West of India. It is largely a desolate region of shifting sand dunes, broken rocks, and scrub vegetation.
Nothing can prepare the visitor for the sheer magic and brilliance of the desert cities of Rajasthan which still retains an elusive fairy-tale character. It is a land where tales of valour of its medieval Rajput warriors are still sung by its travelling bards. Rajasthan is the 'Land of the King'. Opulent palaces dot the desert landscape and battle-scarred fortresses appear on every hill like sentinels of the past. Here, folk culture still retains all its colour and vivacity with exuberant celebrations of fairs and festivals, a music that echoes across the desert emptiness and a tradition of craftsmanship with a highly developed aesthetic sense. The camel rides on the sand dunes are an unforgettable experience as are the sunsets. These places boast of some very fine reminders of the glorious past - palaces, forts, temples and other elegant monuments of architectural and historical value are unforgettable treat for every visitor.
Explore the enigmatic desert of Rajasthan that will mystify your mind with its beauty and vastness. Enter the Thar Desert through Jodhpur, strewn with forts and palaces that go back to the 15th century. Walk through the lanes of golden city Jaisalmer, which had been on the ancient camel trade route between India and Central Asia. Visit Bikaner, the fortified city world renowned for its riding camels. Experience the rural-traditional Rajasthan at its best at Barmer.
