The first thing that comes to mind when one says Rajasthan is fort and palaces. A stroll by the palatial courtyards echoes nostalgia and respect of the glorious regime of the Rajputanas. No wonder, it is for its palatial and celestial mansions that Rajasthan is one of the favourite destinations in the list of India travel from USA. However, this massive state can never be defined with forts and palaces. There are also Reserve Forest (Ranthambore), Hill station (Mount Abu), and undulating dunes of the Thar Desert and age old temple in Pushkar.
Thar Desert
