Travel Experiences
Desert, Lakes and Castles (North India – Rajasthan)
If we do meet again, we’ll smile indeed; If not, ’tis true this parting was well made.
William Shakespeare
Beauty amid Barrenness
A long, golden stretch of sand, shifting sand dunes, salty marshlands, rocks and hillocks and sporadic shrubbery…the magic of Rajasthan’s desert lies in its diverse and varied landscape. Picture yourself amid the hauntingly barren landscape of this region, awaiting sunset on the sand dunes; as the amber sun dips into a slumber, the surprise lakes, the royal stories that are part of a castle lore, the rustic strains of powerfully beautiful folk music greet your ears, serenading you as you bite into the savory delights of traditional cuisine.
What could be more divine than this desert experience?
