"Rajasthan is a tapestry of royal stone and vast sands. In Jaipur, the Amber Fort is a masterpiece of Rajput architecture—visit early to witness the sun illuminating the red sandstone. Udaipur, the city of lakes, is best appreciated from a boat on Lake Pichola at sunset as the Lake Palace glows golden. In Jaisalmer, spending a night at a luxury tent in the Sam sand dunes under a canopy of stars brings the vastness of the desert to life."
