Udaipur

Regarded as both the “City of Lakes” and “Romantic City”, Udaipur is an ideal place if you are seeking a calm and tranquil atmosphere. Founded by Sisodia Rajput Ruler Maharana Udai Singh, Udaipur hosts some of the beautiful palaces in India that attract the overseas tourists. With Palaces and Lakes that are connected, this gives delight to the photographers in clicking some picturesque photos.

Jodhpur

The walls of Mehrangarh fort surround the second-largest city of Rajasthan, which is also known as the “blue city”. Visiting the Mehrangarh fort gives you the par anomic view of the Jodhpur city. Founded by Rao Jodha Singh of Marwar in the year 1459, Jodhpur is listed in various popular travel magazines of being one of the best places to visit in India. In addition, Jodhpur is called the Sun City, where it enjoys a pleasant and sunny climate throughout the year, thereby helping you to visit Jodhpur any time of the year.

Pushkar

One of the most underrated cities in both Rajasthan and the rest of India; Pushkar is famous for being the only temple in India that worship the Hindu creator: Lord Bhrama. Pushkar is best visited in October and November for watching Camel fair and Shopping.

Even though Puskar is famous for being a Pilgrimage site, Puskar has become one of the trending destinations for foreign tourists. Coming back to the Pushkar camel fair, it is held for five consecutive days where you can see merchants buying and selling camels, hosting Camel races and selling handicrafts and textiles.

Ranthambore.

Ranthambore is famous for two things, one is the Ranthambore Fort, which is considered as UNESCO World heritage and the other is Ranthambore national park, which serves as a habitat to the Bengal tigers. With October to April being the best time to spot Bengal tigers, the Ranthambore national park highlights the conservation of India’s national animal from the poachers. 

Taking a safari ride to the national park to view tigers in their natural habitat is exciting for the children and wildlife photographers. It would take a minimum of 3 days to explore both the fort and the national park. If you are looking to take a break from historical places in Rajasthan, then Ranthambore is an ideal gateway.

Bikaner

Yet the famous Rajput ruler, Rao Bika in 1488, founded another underrated tourist destination in Rajasthan, Bikaner. The city of Bikaner is famous for its sweets and snacks thereby attracting many food lovers in India. Despite being a hotspot of ancient wars, the city never stops itself to attract many tourists from all over the world. The famous camel safari and the Karni Mata Rat festival (where the locals worship rats) shows that Bikaner is a unique spot to visit with your family.
