Many old and neglected palaces and forts in Jaipur have been converted into heritage hotels.

Visit to the Wagah border to see the flag hoisting and change of guard ceremony : The 'lowering of the flags' or ‘the Beating Retreat’ ceremony is a daily military practice that the security forces of India and Pakistan have jointly followed since 1959. This ceremony takes place every evening before sunset at the Wagah border (32 km from Amritsar), which is a part of the Grand Trunk Road, the only road link between these two countries.

A day sightseeing in desert town of Bikaner : If ever beauty has bloomed in a desert, it has been at Bikaner, lying in the north of the desert State, dotted with scores of sand dunes. Bikaner retains the medieval grandeur that permeates the city's lifestyle.  The imposing palaces, beautiful and richly sculptured temples display some of the finest creations of Rajput civilization. It's lust or affection for "desert" that tickles every heart to visit Bikaner.
