· Jaipur: One of the three anchor cities of Golden Triangle Tours of North India, the Pink City Jaipur is also the capital of Rajasthan and hence, also the flagship city for several Rajasthan tour packages, including Royal Rajasthan Tours. It was the first planned city in India that was laid on the dictats of Shilpa Shastra, or the Indian Town Planning and Architectural System. High walls to fortify the city from enemies, and wide straight avenues to allow royal elephants to march easily through the markets that divided the city into nine parts or chokris to house nine different kind of skill pool in the city made it a trendsetter for some of the best Indian cities. Amber Fort, the former palace of Maharajas of Kachchwaha clan, on the outskirts of the city and the delightful Samode Palace nearby are popular excursion points of the city. The sightseeing destinations of the city include the ingenious Jantar Mantar or Royal Observatory, Hawa Mahal or Palace of Winds, and City Palace that still houses royal descendents in one part.

Its heavenly palaces and temples are situated near the shores or on islands in beautiful lakes and offer a visual treat for those who crave for space and peace. Free from crowds, Udaipur was once the capital of mighty Mewar that resisted Mughal rule to its last breath. Legendary warriors such as Maharana Pratap lived and ruled here. The Lake Palace is the first choice for Royal Rajasthani Weddings and the City Palace on the shores of Lake Pichola retains the charm of a 16th-century Rajput stronghold.
