Rajasthan has seen the grandeur of the Rajputs, the gallantry of the Mughals, and the extravagance of Jat monarchs.

  • SOUTHERN RAJASTHAN 221 Kota Bundi Chittorgarh Udaipur Kumbalgarh Ranakpur Mt Abu
    © Lonely Planet Publications 220 lonelyplanet.com 221 Southern Rajasthan Southern Rajasthan holds arguably Rajasthan’s most enchanting city, Udaipur, a milk-white confection meandering around several lakes. The city is the ultimate in Rajput fantasy with its cream-coloured havelis (traditional mansions) and palaces, one of which, floating in Pichola Lake, is among the world’s most famous hotels, the Lake Palace. In the south of the region are Rajasthan’s two finest forts, Chittorgarh (Chittor), sprawl- ing over an enormous hilltop plateau, and remote Kumbalgarh, perched at 1100m, with breathtaking views over the dense Aravalli Hills fading into a pale blue horizon. Here, too, are two Jain temple complexes where artistic virtuosity reached dizzy peaks. Ranakpur, deep in an Aravalli valley, has a hall of 1444 pillars, each one different; Dilwara, on a hilltop near Mt Abu, sports marble carving so delicate that it’s almost transparent. Mt Abu is Ra- jasthan’s only hill station; a cool holiday destination for locals, it’s still largely undiscovered by foreign tourists. If you’re keen to get off the well-beaten track, Bundi, though definitely discovered, is an enchanting town, painted Brahmin blue and overlooked by a palace; nearby Kota holds another fine palace. Jhalawar, meanwhile, is really off the trail, with its mighty, forgotten fort and nearby city of temples. Serene Jaisamand, a vast blue-reflecting hill-ringed expanse, is Asia’s biggest artificial lake. The region offers some exhilarating activities too. You can trek or ride the beautiful countryside near Udaipur, Mt Abu or Kumbalgarh, cycle about Bundi, or take a boat trip down the crocodile habitats of the Chambal River.

  • RAJASTHAN (14 Giorni)
    INDIA RAJASTHAN (14 giorni) Probabilmente è lo Stato più conosciuto di tutta l'India, perchè in Rajasthan si possono trovare riuniti molti degli elementi che, in letteratura e nell'immaginario comune, hanno forgiato l'idea della terra da favola esotica che caratterizza il paese. La suddivisione in piccoli clan dei Rajput, dal medioevo signori di queste terre, ha fatto sì che ogni città divenisse un piccolo regno a sé e che ogni centro spesso offra ancora oggi fortezze e palazzi mirabili, cesellati e costruiti con la raffinatezza unica dello stile Rajput o indo-islamico. Questo particolare genere architettonico è il prodotto della fusione della cultura locale con quelle delle dominazioni che si susseguirono nel medioevo e oltre. Il deserto del Thar è il grande deserto indiano, in totale sicurezza per le escursioni a dorso di dromedario o jeep che partono da Jaisalmer, straordinaria città-fortezza; la deliziosa Bikaner e la vicina Deshnoke, col celeberrimo tempio dei topi; più a est, si trovano alcune delle città gioiello del Rajasthan; imperdibile Udaipur, Jhodpur, dal rinfrescante colore azzurro; il bellissimo forte di Chittorgarh (Chittor), una delle più antiche città dello Stato, teatro di celebri leggende legate all'eroe rajput Bappa Rawal; Jaipur, merita una accurata visita: il palazzo dei venti un edificio rosa alto cinque piani con un'infinita serie di finestre e balconcini traforati; la fortezza di Amber, sede dell'antica capitale; Ranakpur per il tempio jain grandioso e immerso nella giungla La popolazione, tra le più povere dell'India, mantiene spesso inalterati abbigliamento e tradizioni antiche; spirito marziale, baffi da competizione, gioielli principeschi, raffinatissimi tessuti, turbanti e colori indimenticabili affascinano così il visitatore sin dal primo istante.
