The Seven Uses of the Turban
Review of Rajastan (India) by
torr
Advantages: Colourful, characterful, cheerful, chockfull of history
Disadvantages: Dry and dusty, dirty too
It was, I think, at Chhatra Sagar that we were told about the seven uses of the turban, which seemed to me to illustrate so much that is of interest in this part of India.
Unlike its Sikh equivalent, the Rajasthani turban - properly known as the safa - has no religious role, though it can have social significance. But it is first and foremost a practical garment. Among its practical applications are that it can:
* 1. Be worn as a hat. *

Rajastan - The Land of the Kings!
Review of Rajastan (India) by
Rp200
Advantages: Beautiful Scenary, so much culture and great food
Disadvantages: None,
Rajastan means 'King of the land', three/four centuries ago this part of Rajastan used to be one of the most richest and opulant parts of India.
I visited Rajastan about three years ago, it wasn't the first time, it was actually my third, once when I was one and again when I was ten, so I couldn't remember much and was really looking forward to it.
Rajastan has many wonderful places to visit, but unfortunately due to the lack of time we was ...

Tiger Tiger
Review of Rajastan (India) by
AndrewPo
Advantages: Wonderful setting, scenery, flora fauna and accommodation
Disadvantages: Didn't see any tigers
Ranthambore National Park sounded perfect in the brochure. It has been a tiger reserve since Project Tiger started in 1972 and was formerly the hunting ground of the Maharajas of Jaipur in Eastern Rajasthan. I have been on several safaris and there is nothing I enjoy more than sharing a drink with wildlife, with a gin and tonic in my sticky hand sitting in a lodge, watching large cats partaking in their equivalent of tiffin at a water hole. I have, ...

The most Majestic area of India
Review of Rajastan (India) by
Deef11
Advantages: Beautful area, Cheap to travel around
Disadvantages: Street sellers can be a bit pushy
Rajahstan translates to Kings Country. It has the most beautiful scenery and ancient architecture in the whole of India.
Anyone I know going to India I tell them to go to Rajahstan. The people are the very friendly and keen to talk to any travellers they meet.
The best time of year to go is August - beginning October.
If you are going, take a lonely planet. It has very useful information and maps. Altough ignore the prices for hotels and ...

Welcome to the city for all you romantics!!!!
Review of Rajastan (India) by
kamfisa
Advantages: land of royality, a truley colourful city with lots of history
Disadvantages: none, well maybe the temperature if I have to choose
...ceromonies.
The forts and palaces in Rajastan have still managed to keep alive the magic of this historical culture.
The fairs and festivals like Pushkar and Desert festival and dances like Kalbelia are not to be missed as these are really the best part of the visit. You can see all the colourful costumes and everyone enjoying themselves.
AND if your really adventurous, then you need to try out the camel safari, in Jaisalmer which is in ...

Rajasthan...land of Folktales -------(I)
Review of Rajastan (India) by
manasray
Advantages: Heritage
Disadvantages: Temprate and arid zones
The call of unknown and unseen lands casts a magic spell in the mind of a tourist and drags him there.
The geographical diversity of Rajasthan,
an Indian state,and the folktales associated
with it attains the dimensions of dreamland
for the state.
The varied landscape is from the towns built by the rulers of the erstwhile princely
states, obviously dotted by palaces and forts,in the midst of the rugged Aravalli range of hills to the barren terrain ...

Review of Rajastan (India) by
chrisrameti
Advantages: Best way to Travel in India
Disadvantages: Nothing
This is a trip report about India. My husband and I just returned from a month trip to Rajasthan and loved every minute of it. It was our dream to be there at least once but finally we found this country so different and interesting to come back again some time.
I did a search for our trip via the internet and came up with a variety of in-country travel specialists. After reading all info and checking prices etc, decided to go with Mr. Raju www.rajuindia.com ...
