Here are 10 awesome things to do and places to visit on your next tour to Rajasthan:

Camel ride into the picturesque Bikaner

Among the most popular activities in Rajasthan is a camel safari, which is something that many companies and tour operators in Bikaner provide. You can choose to go on an overnight safari, stopping at a camp in a desert village. You should expect to pay between Rs. 2000 and Rs. 2500 per person, each day, for a safari. This includes the famous camel ride, stay, food and entertainment. A typical route includes a brief jeep trip to the camels, a camel excursion to the camp (en route you will see magnificent palaces and ancient temples), and an overnight stop with delicious cuisine and some traditional music, highlight of every Rajasthan tour.

Jaisalmer trip

The Jaisalmer Fort, which was the setting for Satyajit Ray's Bengali classic Sonar Kella, is still home to over 3000 people, and can be the perfect sightseeing stop for every Rajasthan tour. The Rajput king Rawal Jaisal, from whom the city derives its name, constructed it in 1156 AD. You enter the fort close to Gopa Chowk and navigate your way through its narrow passageways filled with temples, shops selling handmade goods, restaurants, and even guesthouses.

Go ghost hunting

Ghosts, spirits and their mysteries! Numerous unknown facts and unsolved mysteries abound in Rajasthan. The historic havelis and palaces of Jodhpur, Jaisalmer, Jaipur, and other places contain a wealth of information. Scary tales from the past are inscribed on the antique walls and towering ceilings. The tales from the ancient ruins of Kuldhara, Brijraj Bhavan, Jagatpura, and Bhangarh are among those that are terrifying yet amazing to hear. These are accompanied by some spooky legends that many still hold true, and why not? They have justifications.

Like the Bhangarh Ruins , the fort, which was once a joyful royal abode, is now in ruins after being allegedly cursed by a wicked sorcerer. Visitors to the fort report hearing unusual noises, hearing women scream, and smelling strange scents. Make sure to add this adventurous activity to your luxurious trip to Rajasthan.

Night camping in the vast deserts of Rajasthan

Imagine doing the same while lying on your back in the stillness of the desert, staring at the stars and the boundless sky, if that is your favorite pastime. The Golden City of Rajasthan, Jaisalmer, is renowned for providing such life-changing events.

Visit the shrine to Bullet Baba

This is now very bizarre! Near Jodhpur, on National Highway 65, in the village of Chotila, in the Pali district, lies the shrine of Bullet Baba, where Royal Enfield motorcycles are revered. The history of this religious activity dates back to 1991 and is also pretty peculiar.
Make sure to pencil this spot in your coming Rajasthan vacation trip and get to know the story behind it.

Explore the grand Kumbhalgarh Fort

The Kumbhalgarh Fort in Rajasthan's Mewar area, which is more than seven centuries old, was constructed in the 15th century by Rana Kumbha. Since the birth of Maharana Pratap, the well-known monarch of Mewar, this location has resisted all attempts by foreign invaders to conquer it. This fort is filled with splendor, and the locals are incredibly happy about the fact that enemy forces have never managed to take it over!

Hot air ballooning

Nothing compares to the beautiful view of Rajasthan from up in the air!
Numerous spots in Udaipur, and Jaisalmer provide the facility to add another memory to your luxurious Rajasthan trip.

Explore the world-famous Mehrangarh Fort

“The work of Giants”, as rightfully described by author Rudyard Kipling, Mehrangarh Fort towers 120 meters above Jodhpur's skyline, and was constructed about 1420. There are numerous palaces with elaborate sculptures and sizable courtyards inside its bounds. From the ancient city, you can either walk 300 meters or ride a short rickshaw to get to the fort. Only if you intend to enter the museum inside do you need a ticket.

Visit the Sariska Tiger Reserve

The Sariska Tiger Reserve is a photographer's paradise for those interested in wildlife photography and can be the ultimate haven for every nature lover planning their coming Rajasthan trip. Sambar deer, tiger, wild boars, monkeys, and jackals are among the many animal species that call the Aravalli Hills in the Alwar area home. If you go there during the monsoon, you might be fortunate enough to see peafowls dance. The location's lush woodlands and assortment of animals will mesmerize you.

Zip Lining

Zip lining, or Flying Fox as it is more generally known, is one of the most popular tourist attractions in Rajasthan. As you soar from one cliff or building to another, you may take in the breathtaking vistas of forts along the way. Neemrana Fort and Mehrangarh Fort are good places to try zip lining in Rajasthan. Both places have beautiful vistas, but Neemrana is a great tourist place near Delhi, while Mehrangarh is extremely close to Udaipur.
