3. Feel the tranquillity at Mount Abu

The only hill station in the desert state of Rajasthan. The mountain is a part of the Aravalli Range, which is a mountain range that runs through western India and eastern Pakistan.

The mountain has a long and complex history. It is first mentioned in a 9th century text, as Mount Abu. The mountain was an important centre of the Gurjara-Pratihara dynasty. The 11th century text, the Prabandha-Kosha, states that the mountain is named after Aboo, a grandson of the Hindu god Vishnu. The mountain was also an important centre of the Chaulukya dynasty.

The Mughal emperor Akbar conquered the region in the 16th century. The Mughal emperor Jahangir built a palace on the mountain. The palace was later destroyed by the British. The Rajput ruler of Jodhpur, Rao Jodha, founded the city of Mount Abu in the 15th century. The city was initially known as Rajputana ki Dhani, or the "village of the Rajputs". The mountain was an important centre of the Jodhpur kingdom. The area was known as the Hill Station of Rajputana. After India's independence in 1947, the government of Rajasthan established Mount Abu as a reserve forest. The hill station was transferred to the Rajasthan Tourism Development Corporation in 1974.

The mountain is a popular tourist destination, and is also home to a wildlife sanctuary, Dilwara Temples, and Nakki Lake.

4. Feel the royalty at Jaisalmer

Located in the heart of the Thar Desert. Jaisalmer is also known as the "Golden City" because of the yellow sandstone from which most of the city is built.

The city of Jaisalmer was founded in 1156 by Jaisal, a Rajput chief of the Bhatti clan. The city was located on the trade route from the ports of Gujarat to the cities of Central Asia and was strategically important because of its location on the camel caravan route. The city was originally built in the form of a fort and was known as Jaisalmer Fort. The fort was built with yellow sandstone, which gives the city its characteristic appearance. The city grew in importance and became a major centre of trade. The city was also a centre of Rajput culture, and many of the Rajput princes were born and raised in Jaisalmer.

The city was ruled by the Bhatti clan until the early 19th century, when it was annexed by the British. The British used the city as a military base to control the surrounding areas. In 1947, when India gained independence, Jaisalmer was transferred to the state of Rajasthan. The city has continued to grow in importance and is now a major tourist destination.

While you are here in Jaisalmer, places like Jaisalmer Fort, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Jain Temples, Gadisar Lake, Desert National Park and Sand Dunes like the Sam Sand Dunes are some of the most popular attractions in Jaisalmer.
