Rajasthans Royal Residence Turned Into A Hotel

 

Known as the land of royals and kings, Rajasthan can never go wrong when it comes to luxury, history and culture to die for. Palaces, the massive architectures and royal hotels are no hard to find when in Rajasthan. From museums to fortress, palaces to markets every nook and corner has a treasure to preserve and a royal pedigree to carry forward. And one such fine example has to be Umaid Bhawan. Established in 1943 by Maharaja Umaid Singh, this palace is one of the last big palace in India that was built. The former residence of the Maharaja has now been converted into a hotel so that the tourists get to experience the luxury of its kind, Indian culture, food and the warmth of indian families that can touch ones heart.

The Most Exquisite Food Delight In Rajasthan

  When it comes to defining a place which is the most exciting for a travel experience, food and cuisine definitely matter! And there is no other place that offers exquisite food other than Rajasthan! Whether it is their amazing variety of sweet dishes or spicy snacks- one cannot easily forget the Rajasthani cuisine. The cuisine is inspired from the Rajputana culture and the dishes are influenced by the availability of the ingredients and resources in the regions. In fact most of the dishes can last for more than one day, given the non-availability of water in Rajasthan. Whether you are in the city of Jaipur or Jodhpur or even Udaipur, don’t miss exploring the famous snacks items Mirchi Bada and Pyaaz ki Kachori. These delicacies are internationally famous, as you may get the snacks at other places, but the taste remains authentic to Rajasthan.
