The Best Of Adventure & Royalty: Our Epic Family Trip To Rajasthan

With magnificent forts and palaces, Rajasthan is the quintessential land of Maharajas and Maharanis. Yearning to get a taste of this Rajasthani royalty and tradition, Sachin and his family stepped into this Land of the Kings and not only got closer to the history of India’s past but also spent a lovely time on their family Trip to Rajasthan. Here is how you can also plan a lovely vacation to the royal city and indulge in a variety of activities for an adventurous holiday.

Travel for me is an escape from the monotony of life and the perfect excuse to de-stress my mind and body. Traveling to different lands not only lets us explore ourselves but also gives us a chance to explore the beauty around us and unwind in the serene surroundings. Every destination leaves its footprints on the sand of our hearts and every flight back home from our last destination is followed by planning our next vacation and the cycle goes on.

We are doctors catering to sick neonates and children. Most of our days are around suffering, pain, and struggle of life, comes the time we transport ourselves to a whole new world. A world so mesmerizing so breathtaking so full of life that we take it in our stride and pamper ourselves with the best. Having already traveled to many cities of India, this time we decided to explore the deserts and therefore set-on to plan a family trip to Rajasthan. While surfing through the internet looking for folks who could cater to our demands keeping in mind the short time, best places, and great experiences we stumbled upon travel triangle.

11 Jaisalmer Resorts To Stay In 2022 For Experiencing Rajasthani Lifestyle

Experiences on Our Family Trip to Rajasthan

Jaipur: A vibrant amalgamation of Old and New

On our stay in Jaipur, we also visited the majestic Amer Fort. The Amer perched on top of the mountain looks down upon the beautiful Jaipur, watching as we seesaw on elephant back to see the saffron fields and walls protecting this great city. Accompanied by our tour guide we passed through Ganesh pol and paid homage to deity Kali. A beautiful blend of Moghul and Rajput architecture is the grand Amer, millions of shimmering lights greeted us like the stars in sheesh mahal, following which we saw Aukh mahal and Zeenana and we are reminded of the scenes from Jodha Akbar.

We also dedicated our day to the city palace with its well preserved royal collection, still a home for the Royals, we are amazed at the size of the silver container carried by the king to carry Ganga on his voyage to England,the beautiful peacock door catches your eye and the royal robes of one of the kings will blow your mind. We also planned our drive to Jaigarh fort, we made a pit stop at Jal Mahal and Albert Hall. Jaigarh is the home to the world’s largest cannon and you should be there to hear the story of its first and last use.

The kaleidoscopic International Folk Festival

Early morning after a luxurious spa at Indana palace we made our move to the Mehrangarh fort aloft the world’s oldest lift. We were greeted by the Jodhpur RIFF(Rajasthan International Folk Festival). We were amazed by the numerous colors of the RIFF artists, their folklore and varied musical instruments. The courtyard of the fort perched high above the city looks down on the intricate carvings and detailed craftsmanship of the Rajasthani craftsmen. The view from the top of the palace is something you can’t afford to miss and it reminded us of our trip to Santorini in Greece with its white and blue setup.

The Opulence of Jaisalmer!

The Jaisalmer fort is the only fort which allows people to stay in its own guard. The fort itself is just above average with its renovations and bat-infested lobbies, yet an interesting guide and amusing history can grip the history buff in you. Then we moved to Patwon ki haveli, where you can set sight on the life of the Rajsthani traders, we can see the traditional refrigerator, the safest safe and their lifestyle commodities. That evening alongside the brilliant setting sun in the backdrop of the vast desert and fast-moving SUV we passed across the deserted Kuldhara village.

Camping the Royal Way

Our night stay at Le Royale camp was also pretty great. We were greeted as royals with traditional shehnai and aarti. Under the starry sky amidst shimmering lights a performance by Kailashi- A great artist with some brilliant Kartal music and dinner followed by some onstage dance by all of us. The night Safari was the highlight of the tour, very similar to the Dubai dune safari, at the stroke of midnight below the moonlit desert and some ghost stories to follow, sent a chill down our spines.

Riding on the Sands of Time

Our camel’s name was Salman Khan and he took us aback with its signature stunts and made our morning a pleasant experience. Our camel riders informed us that Pakistan was very close from here. We laid down on the cold desert, glided down its hillocks and captured some great pics across the rising sun. Some banjaras entertained us with some songs and music. After a traditional breakfast, we set off to shop in Jaisalmer.

Shopping Our Hearts Out

Shopping in Rajasthan was truly an amazing experience, and we bought a lot of traditional accessories and clothing from the local market. The low priced traditional shopping at the Indana Palace Shop was what we loved the most. Shopping at the International Folk Festival was a win! The local craftsmen designed intricate jewelry and showpieces. In Jaisalmer, we ended up purchasing mojadi and vintage clothing. We purchased some rare artifacts with its famed fossil glass and some rare dresses like patola, shibori, ker, sangri, ke sari and what not!
