Do the desert lands and forts and palaces set your imagination on fire? Do the stories of valor of the warrior princes of India keep you mesmerized? And more significantly, if you are tired of visiting the same old beaches and mountains for any planned or unplanned vacation, then its time to make a change and set your foot in Rajasthan.

The desert land on the north western part of India is the ideal location to get a true feel of the country and enjoy the vivid colors and culture of the land. Jaipur is the state capital and any visit to this state is incomplete without visiting the famed pink city of India. So when you charter out on the unknown territory, it is advisable to book your travel tickets and hotels in Jaipur and the other cities where you are planning a stopover to avoid any inconvenience during your journey.

Hotels in Jaipur are the best place to get a true look and feel of the Rajput hospitality. While you enjoy the royal treatment meted out to your by the staff, you can also get a first hand experience of authentic Rajasthani cuisine. Rajasthani folk music is also quite popular in the outside world and the accommodations in Jaipur often organize shows for their esteemed guests. You can also take the advice and guidance of the hotel staff about the important places to visit in this pink city and such advice comes in especially handy in sorting out the numerous forts and palaces in the city. However, the city is very well planned and one the most architecturally sound cities in India, so you would not have much trouble in finding your way around the place.

Rajasthan and especially Jaipur, is also famed for its popular tie and dye art of coloring clothes. The rich colorful garments are very eye catchy and form the ideal gift to carry back home for friends and family. Another reason why many tourists make a definite stopover in Jaipur is the availability of genuine precious and semi precious stones. Many of the astrologers and jewelers get their stones from this part of the country, as it is a sure way to get authentic stones at good value for money. Many of the hotels have a gem stone shop either within the premises or can guide their guests to an authentic shop in the city.

Some of the main attractions in Jaipur are the Hawa Mahal, Amber fort, Gaitore and the Anokhi museum of hand painting. So if you are visiting, make sure that you plan your itinerary much in advance as the tourist season makes it difficult to find good accommodations. Many online sites provide the facility of planning out your entire trip from the comfort of your home or office without having to venture out at all. You can not only plan ahead for a great trip but also get the bookings done once you are ready to explore the myths and adventures of Rajasthan.
