About this guide

This is an independent traveller's guide to the real places of Rajasthan — the forts and palaces of the Rajput courts, living temples and dargahs, the lakes of Mewar, the painted havelis of Shekhawati, and the tiger reserves and bird sanctuaries that protect the state's wildlife.

Every entry is factual and drawn from the state's known heritage. We cover 108 places across 5 regions and 72 events and festivals.

Entry fees and opening hours change over time — always confirm current details with the official Rajasthan Tourism before you travel.
