Plan your magical experiences thoughtfully designed by Bhramonik.
We often vouch for a calm and serene destination for taking a break. But a land like ours, which is so breathtaking, so ancient and diverse that we can not ignore the spirit of that shared heritage which resonates vividly through the sights, sounds, colours, festivities, and the common people on the streets. Taking a break to unplug or unwind do not have to be always in the serene solitude. For instance, take a look at the charming old alleys in the ancient cities of Rajasthan.Warm and welcoming and full of life, you will never have a dull moment as they say 'Khamma ghani' or 'Padharo mhare desh'.
A land with vibrant history and culture dating back to as early as the Indus Valley isn't something to be visited in a hurry. Everything in Rajasthan, from art, music, architechture, cuisine, traditions, festivals, dresses, fabric, jewellery, handicrafts have a rich, vivid and long story to tell. A synopsis is a hard nut to crack here.
Do you know, the pugdi or safa worn by Rajasthani men are colour coded? Different tribes wear different coloured pugdi, some bandhni or leheriya printed, that vary for different occasions, festivals, and seasons as well as moments of grief or joy. The length of a pugdi is generally 9 to 11m but in areas with lower water table, men use longer turban cloth, as long as 20m, so as to use it as a rope to draw water from wells on the way! And there are more than 1000 ways to tie a pugdi. Women also have jewellery, dress and even embroidery coded for each tribe. And the stories are as exciting as ever.
Winter (October to March) is the ideal season to have a tete a tete with Rajasthan as the weather gets cooler and a number of festivals lined are up in Jaipur, Bikaner, Jaisalmer, Puskar etc. The national parks also welcome the migratory avians in winter. As this is the peak tourist season, prices for hotels, transport, and attractions surge. Reserve in advance!
Palaces, havelis, forts, lakes, stepwells, sand dunes, food, music, art and crafts..there's royal exuberance everywhere. Surprise yourself in the land of the kings... Rajasthan that is!
With its pleasant climate, vibrant culture, and timeless landscapes, winter truly is the best season to explore Rajasthan. Whether you are visiting with your family, as a couple or are on a solo excursion, we offers an ideal base for a refined yet soulful escape with exclusive packages. This winter, let your winter vacation in Rajasthan be one of quiet luxury, heritage discoveries, and unforgettable moments by the lake.
