Rajasthan and the Golden Triangle has long been famed for its impressive forts and palaces and the Taj Mahal and could this really get any better? Well, yes, we think so. Rajasthan now also houses a superb collection of luxury boutique hotels, in the countryside, showcasing this element of the country but with the best service, facilities and locations imaginable. Imagine waking up to a sunrise shimmering over a dam and ending the day with a spectacular Rajasthani dance performance on a dune in the desert, lit by lanterns and with succulent snacks being served together with your perfectly mixed choice of cocktail. This truly is regal Rajasthan at its best.
