Mount Abu is Rajasthan’s cool, forested outpost—a granite island rising from desert plains, where leopards prowl, orchids bloom, and Jain temples glow white as moonlight. It’s also a walker’s paradise: a mesh of old forest paths and village trails weaving through one of India’s oldest mountain systems, the Aravalli Range.

Nestled on the outskirts of Jaisalmer in western Rajasthan, the Sam Sand Dunes are a mesmerizing expanse of golden sands that radiate under the desert sun. Dotted with rolling dunes up to 150 feet high, this sweeping landscape has become synonymous with desert adventure and cultural immersion. Offering an authentic desert safari experience, Sam beckons travelers to ride camels across sculpted dunes, witness spellbinding sunsets, sleep under the Milky Way, and absorb the traditions of nomadic Rajasthan.

Nestled on the outskirts of Jaipur, along Tonk Road, lies Sisodia Rani Ka Bagh, literally “Sisodia Queen’s Garden” — a verdant oasis imbued with history, romance, artistry, and spirituality.

When most travelers think of Rajasthan, grand palaces and sun-baked forts come to mind. Yet beyond the pink city of Jaipur and the blue lanes of Jodhpur lies a mosaic of protected parks, reserves, and wetlands where tigers prowl, leopards lurk, and flocks of migratory birds blanket the skies. The term Rajasthan Wildlife Sanctuaries captures this thrilling network of ecosystems—from the dense teak forests of the Ranthambore plateau to the shimmering lakes of Bharatpur.
