Of all the princely states of yore in India, Rajputana (the region around
Jaipur) is undoubtedly the one with the most martial record. It was a state
of warring factions locked in deadly warfare, thousands of royal ladies
consigning themselves to flames, preferring death to dishonor. In this land,
towering forts were built not only for ostentation, but also to intimidate
the enemy. Stranger was the life of some of its warrior kings, who fought
great battles on one hand and were great patrons of arts on the other.
Today, Jaipur is the personification of the old order influencing the new.
An inherent feel for color and design percolated every stratum of society,
and jewellery, crafts and architecture became objects of delight equally
between prince and peasant. Overnight in a magnificent Palace Hotel.

UDAIPUR : Located around the shimmering clear blue-water lakes,
Udaipur also know as the "City of Lakes". It is a delightful blend
of sights, sounds and experiences. Carrying a distinct identity of being a
romantic city, Udaipur is an inspiration for the imagination of the poets,
painters and writers....." The exquisitely carved marble palaces,
impressively laid out gardens and the beautiful blue lakes make Udaipur seem
almost like a mirage in the desert". Established by Maharana Udai
Singh, who on the advice of a holy man, shifted his capital to the banks of
Lake Pichola, and named it after his name - Udaipur. Udaipur not only offers
