Tourism in Rajasthan - Rajasthan is where all the country's similes and metaphors appear to have come together. Sand dunes, wooded hills and
amazing lakes, palaces and rugged forts, men and women in colorful turbans
and skirts, bustling towns and quiet villages, camels, elephants and tigers,
harsh sunlight and the cool evening breeze - are all there in abundance.
History The
first mansion in Jaipur, the Raj Palace was built in 1728 by the Prime Minister
of the Raj, Thakur Mohan Singhji of Chaumoo and has remained his descendant's
residence until now.

Who" from Kings & Queens to the Viceroy of Indiacame to
dine or sleep in the embrace of the mansion's grandeur and grace.

and residential quarters to restore the mansion to all of its original glory.
