RECOMMENDATION

1) In Jaipur visit the Hawa Mahal and the Amer Fort.

2)Udaipur-Spend an evening at Lake Pichola,Watch the sunset and take a boat ride.Also try and eat dinner at the famous restaurants by the lake side.

3)Jaisalmer-The sand dunes camps are good .Spend a night there and enjoy the folk music and dance performances.It is located literally very far away from the city and is on the westernmost part of India.It feels like a deserted planet over there.But the experience is good.

At Bikaner,try the local snacks.They are delicious. Also for the non vegetarians-do try the Laal Maas in Rajasthan.It is delicious.
