Jaisalmer It is just like Arabian Nights. The golden city of Jaisalmer looms into view suddenly amidst the flat expanses of the Thar Desert. Inside the fort is a maze of narrow streets lined with elaborately carved havelis and other buildings, and a walking tour gives an excellent insight into a way of life seemingly unchanged for centuries. The cries of hawkers sell vibrantly coloured Rajasthani wall hangings as their voice echoes through the fort. A camel ride under the desert stars is desert safari of the most romantic experiences.

The sprawling fort stands 1,100 metres up in the Aravalli Hills with 36 kilometres of walls encompassing 365 temples, palaces, gardens and 700 cannon bunkers.

A local highlight are the ‘havelis’ as the Marwari merchants’ homes are known which are protected by large wooden gates with walls frescoed with folk tales and local legends.

Kota Famous for its sarees, Kota was the main industrial centre since it was founded in 1264.

Osian One of the final provisioning stops for travellers crossing the Thar Desert by camel, Osian is a frontier town. But the frontier town of Osian is very unlike any frontier outposts. It boasts 23 temples - Hindu and Jain. The Jain temples built between the eighth and 10th centuries are still in use. A Hindu temple dedicated to Surya (the Sun) stand magnificent against the desert.

Luni If handicrafts attract you, walk into the busy little village of Luni. It is full of artisans working with metal clay or wood. You can actually see and enjoy hoe things are made. Located beneath the walls of Chanwa Fort, a converted heritage hotel, Luni has generations of these artisans living and working here. While the old sit and gossip under the shade of a tree in the midday Sun, the kids play in the dust. Women in bright saris with water pots on their heads bring home the dear stuff- water. Be there to experience it.
Pushkar Famous for its annual ‘Mela ‘or festival, Pushkar is one of the few places in India with a temple dedicated to Lord Brahma. Every November in accordance with the lunar cycle, the normally tranquil lakeside town of Pushkar changes as thousands of colourful Rajasthanis come to trade and race camels or to enjoy the annual celebrations as the desert transforms into a huge tented city. The festivities are concentrated during a one week period but the days preceeding the fair are just as exciting as the participants arrive from all corners of Rajasthan. At other times of the year the character is very different when the small town welcomes pilgrims who come to pay their respects by the sacred lake at the heart of the town, reputed to have been formed by a lotus thrown by the god Brahma.
