5. Bijaipur
Rajasthan has managed to take travelers by surprise for some years now. Bijaipur, a quiet village 55 kms from Chittorgarh, brings you respite amidst miles of rustling golden sand and the opportunity to live in a 200-year old heritage castle.
If you’d prefer a simpler experience, you could choose to live in a traditional cottage too. Like with any other village in the area, Bijaipur will indulge you with local handcrafts and trades, cultural practices and immersive plays, folk dances as well as a wildlife sanctuary near-by. You could also zip up and down sand dunes in a jeep-safari, or ride along the timeless sands on horseback or camelback.
