Music comes from every temple, and proud parent’s ask for me to photograph their children. It’s impossible not to fall in love with Jaipur.

The next day we head to the Amber Fort–an ancient place situated high above the city that is among the most spectacular historical sights we’ve visited thus far. As old as it is, the protection from the mountain and maze-like corridoors built to confuse invaders has helped to keep it almost entirely intact.

At the base, we pay a gentleman to take us around on a painted elephant. Normally one can ride up to the fort itself but, because of the festival, doing so wasn’t possible. The elephants are both majestic and sad. I’m glad to have done it, but never again will I contribute to the captivity of such beautiful animals.

Ajecent to the City Palace, still home to the former royal family, is Jantar Mantar, an observatory built in 1728 with elaborate marble instruments that can still accurately measure the time of day, placement of the sun, and the passing of the constellations. I plan to returns to the Pink City one day–a promise made to the countless vendors I didn’t have time to visit with.

Majestic palaces and rugged forts, spectacular deserts, wooded hills and tranquil lakes, bustling towns and quiet villages, amazing flora and fauna and of course, the colorful and vibrant people of Rajasthan form an intricate tapestry of mysticism, grandeur and rusticity. Behind the breathtaking beautiful facade, expect to find contradictions to the ordinary and mundane aspects of vacationing. Wherever you travel, particularly when you escape from the popular tourist destinations, you will come across the unexpected, whether it is a local fair or a bustling bazaar or mind-blowing architectural wonders. The mood and the rhythm of the countryside changes from one region to another, and from season to season. Rajasthan tourism creates a land of magical fantasies that remain a lifetime memory.

Rajasthan is situated in the north-western part of India. It covers 342,239 square kilometres (132,139 square miles). Rajasthan lies between latitudes 23 degree 3′and 30 degree 12′, north and longitudes 69 degree 30′ and 78 degree 17′, east. Compared to many countries that are located in a similar latitudinal belt, such as in northern Arabia, Rajasthan has a less harsh climate. The State’s scorching and dry summers and its parched landscape is undergoing significant changes because of the developmental effort that have led to the spread of the Indira Gandhi Nahar.

The southern part of Rajasthan is about 225 km from the Gulf of Kutch and about 400 km from the Arabian Sea. Rajasthan is bounded by Pakistan in the west and north-west; by the State of Punjab in the north; by Haryana in the north-east; by Uttar Pradesh in the east, by Madhya Pradesh in the south-east and Gujarat in the south-west.

The Aravali mountain ranges that run from Delhi to Gujarat cut through the State almost vertically. The Aravali ranges divide the State through south-east and north-west. The north-west region covering two-thirds of the state consist mostly of a series of sand dunes. Bikaner, Jaisalmer, Jodhpur and part of the Jhunjhunu districts form part of this region. The eastern region has large fertile tracts.
