thanks Archana..
I haven’t been to India but these are compelling reasons to book a trip there! The structures look unbelievable especially the Pink City. I will surely visit these places when I get the chance.
Hey Jen these are just the FEW reasons, India is a place wherein every state or city has it’s own amazing story. i really suggest you to come and explore the Incredible India once..
We’ll spend a few days in Delhi while traveling to Himachal this October so this is going to be very helpful. I love all these places but mostly Jaipur. The architecture is just stunning and detail oriented. I’ve lately seen many foreign bloggers being romanticizing these parts of India which I tend to dislike.
I hope you’ll enjoy visiting these amazing places..my good wishes to you Zinara
This is wow blog and especially for the cities you picked. Being from India I can say that these are definitely the cities worth visiting while in India. i
you are right Swati.. that’s why Rajasthan is one the state of India that has maximum number for tourist (Indian as well as foreigners)

Thanks Jamie, Rajasthan is also termed as the Land of King and that’s why this is the perfect place to experience the royal culture..
It is the classic tour. Most foreigners I know end up making it their first trip to India. Of these, Jaipur is my favourite. Not only is it rich in culture and heritage, but the food there is to die for. I can have many kachoris in a day. Yum!
