Udaipur
In my opinion this city is one most iconic beauty in the world. Udaipur, the “city of lakes”, once was the capital of Mewar kingdom. Situated at the bottom of Aravalli hills, it has picturesque environment in every direction. The Jain temple of Ranekpur and Fateh Bagh Palace is a major tourist spot.

Jodhpur
It is the second largest city in terms of area and also in terms of population in Rajasthan. The city was founded by ‘Rathore Rajput ruler’ in 1459. Due to its high temperature all year along it is also called ‘Sun city’. The major tourist destination here is the fortress on the top of the city, where you can witness a landscape view of the historical city. Also,‘Umaid Bhawan’ palace, which is partially a heritage hotel now.
Pushkar
The holy city falls in the Ajmer district, near Jaipur. This city holds very important place in our mythology. First of all it is located on the bank of ‘Pushkar Lake’ which said to be formed through the tears of Lord Shiva. It also has a very famous temple of Lord Brahma who is said to be the constructor of the world. The annual Camel fair organised here is very famous and also the major attraction of the tourist.
