Among the Indian states, Rajasthan is considered as the perfect potpourri of a rich cultural heritage, offering glimpse of modernity, Kartik Sharma and Ahmad Shariq Khan of Elets News Network (ENN) take a close look at what makes this State one of the most preferred tourist destinations.
Home to numerous attractive destinations, coupled with a world-class hospitality ecosystem favouring tourism, being actively promoted by the State Government, Rajasthan today tops any domestic or international tourist’s wish list.
Since time immemorial, Rajasthan, the land of majestic Aravali Hills, has been regarded as the land of kings, palaces, valour and sacrifices.
Rajasthan derives its name from “Rajah” “Sthana”, which literally means home of Kings, and it truly is. Tales of battles fought and romance of the riches adorn every wall, folklore or literature of the state. The present state of Rajasthan today comprises 33 districts, which is effectively a union of 22 former princely states.
Located in the northwestern part of India, the State is spread over 3,42,239 sq.km area, making it geographically the largest State in the country, encompassing around 11 per cent of the total geographical area of the country.
One could gauge the sheer vastness of its size if its area is looked at in comparison to that of some of the western countries such as that of Italy (3, 01,200 sq. km.), Norway (3, 24,200 sq. km) or of Poland (3, 12,600 sq. km.)
The State’s topography is such that it mainly comprises three regions, namely, the Aravali hills range, the Great Indian Thar Desert and the Eastern part of the state. It can be said that Rajasthan’s topography is a potpourri of the sandy deserts and abundant flora and fauna.
Rajasthan – A Unique Tourism Landscape
Rajasthan is a land of great beauty and diversity. From the Thar Desert in the west to the fertile southeastern plains, Rajasthan’s topography too shares this diversity.
