Rajasthan - the royal Indian state is well connected with other parts of the country. Also being a popular destination in the world tourism map, Rajasthan is well accessible by air, rail and road. Jaipur is the main airport to enter Rajasthan. Serviced by all the domestic airlines of India , Jaipur has connections to Delhi , Mumbai, Udaipur , Aurangabad , Jodhpur and few more cities in India . Other major airports in Rajasthan are in Udaipur and Jodhpur .

Rajasthan is bounded on the west and northwest by Pakistan , on the north and northeast by the states of Punjab, Haryana, and Uttar Pradesh, on the east and southeast by the states of Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh, and on the southwest by the state of Gujarat . The land of massive forts, grand palaces, bustling bazaars, endless desert sands, dense forests, teeming wildlife. A land that never ceases to intrigue and enchant...all aptly sum up the enchantment called Rajasthan. A land of striking contrast with its serene lakes, secluded village settlements which are inhabited with friendly and colorful people. The fairs and festivals of Rajasthan attract tourists from all over the world.

Thar, the Great Indian Desert, immortalised in song and folklore as Marusthali (The land of Death ) lies in north-west Rajasthan, but not all of this state is wasteland. The Arawali hills, the oldest geographical feature of the Indian-subcontinent, is a rocky spine that divides Rajasthan into two regions of startling contrasts: one is barren while the other has lakes, forests and fertile land.

The desert region comprises Jodhpur , Jaisalmer and Bikaner . The land here is unyielding, rainfall is scanty and vegetation comprises patches of grassland, dry shrubs and stunted trees. Crops cultivated are hardy cereals like Millet (Bajra) and barley (jowar). It's hostile, harsh and merciless region yet culturally the more interesting side of Rajasthan.
