The newly added tourist attraction – helicopter ride over Sam Dunes – in Jaisalmer is a great new way to experience the city. If you thought the desert looked amazing from a camel’s back, wait till you see it from high up in the air.

The Bikaner Camel Festival (January 11-12) celebrates the lifeline of the Thar Desert – the camels. See these amazing animals all decked up in colourful clothes and proudly marching in grand parades.

Explore the wilds of Jhalana, Jawai and Amagarh to spot the stunning leopards in their natural habitat. The leopard safaris in these three places won’t disappoint you.

Winter is the best time to experience wildlife in Rajasthan. Ranthambore National Park and Sariska National Park are the best places to see tigers in their natural habitat.

Did you know that Rajasthan is one of the best places to go birding in India? Rajasthan’s Bharatpur, Tal Chhapar and Desert National Park are every serious and amateur birder’s dream destinations. Winter is the time for the migratory birds to flock to these parts of Rajasthan.

Mandawa in the Shekhawati region is home to a number of unique and colourful old havelis. Most of them may look like they have seen better days, but the artwork on the walls of the havelis of Mandawa are still these for us to see. No wonder, the entire city is called an open-air art gallery.

Let’s face it, exploring Rajasthan in summer is not for the faint of heart. With the temperature reaching high 40s, being out and about is a challenge. So why not take full advantage of the winter season when the temperature is comfortably cool and you can stay outdoors as long as you want. This is a great time to explore the iconic palaces and forts of heritage cities like Jaipur, Jodhpur and Udaipur.
