In terms of area, Rajasthan is the largest state in India. So there are bound to be a lot of interesting and unusual places here apart from the usual popular destinations that everybody goes to see. Here are some offbeat places in Rajasthan that we at Brij Hotels think are must-visit places on your next getaway.
Named after Maharaja Madho Singh of Jaipur, the town of Sawai
Madhopur is our first offbeat destination in Rajasthan. It is famous
for Ranthambore National Park, which is home to one of the largest
populations of Royal Bengal Tigers - India's national animal -
in the world. Go on a safari and try your luck at spotting these
magnificent creatures.
Welcome to Kumbalgarh Fort, the second-largest of its kind in
India. Second only to Chittorgarh Fort, this fort is over 500 years
old and was protected from wave after wave of invasions by the
longest wall in India. It was declared a UNESCO world heritage site
in 2013 and is the perfect destination if you were looking for
offbeat places near Udaipur.
Rajasthan is famous for being home to Thar desert and a lot of
forts. Sticking out like a sore thumb(or a splash of green respite
in a sea of dreary brown) is the next item on our list of offbeat
places in Rajasthan, Mount Abu, the only hill station in
India's largest state. There are a number of Hindu and Jain
temples near the mountain, for the more religiously inclined
visitors.
On this site, two hours away from Brij Lakshman Sagar, the son
of a local leader died in a tragic motorbike accident in 1988. The
motorbike kept mysteriously reappearing at the site of the accident
despite multiple attempts by the police to secure it in the police
station premises. The story spread like wildfire, the police gave up
trying to secure the vehicle, and the site is now a shrine to Om
Banna, the patron saint of road travelers. It is one of the best
Rajasthan offbeat places to visit.
The next offbeat destination in Rajasthan on our list is the
quaint town of Jawai. Guests at
Brij Pola, Jawai have
a plethora of things to do during their stay like spotting leopards
on a guided safari, visiting the stunning Jawai Bandh dam to spot
crocodiles and various migratory birds, trekking at the nearby
hills, and much more.
There are a lot more offbeat places in Rajasthan. Other such unconventional, hidden gems include Barmer, Nahargarh, Bundi, Kuldhara, Alsisar. Come stay at Brij Lakshman Sagar and explore all these fantastic places and many more.
