The magic of vibrant Rajasthan - its rich heritage, colourful culture, exciting desert safaris, glistening sand-dunes and varied wildlife - makes it a destination nonpareil. Foliage Outdoors brings you an itinerary which is a perfect blend of all the above mentioned characteristics. Join us as we explore the seldom explored facet of Regal Rajasthan.
Mehrangarh Fort: A formidable and yet impressive structure, this Fort houses a collection of marvelous palaces. The palaces themselves hold a taste of history in the form of miniature paintings and elephant howdahs along with many musical instruments and costumes from the yesteryears.
Jaswant Thada: Jaswant Thada is a marble wonder that was built in 1899 A.D. in the memory of Maharaja Jaswant Singh II. A walk through this cluster of monuments presents a hand-painted collection of previous Jodhpur rulers.
Sam Sand Dunes: Situated on the outskirts of Jaisalmer, no trip to Rajasthan is complete without a Desert Safari through these sands. An endless stretch of the Sam Sand Dunes is best explored on camel back against the backdrop of the setting sun. A postcard moment for one and all.
