The trip is called “Colours of Rajasthan” for a reason. You will have never experience such a cacophony of colours before, and the tour is a true delight for the visual senses. Everywhere you look, you will spot dolls wearing dresses made of bright red and purple cloths.
Women in the street wear saris in oranges, yellows, blues and greens, making them look bright and joyful. Enter a market and spot the rows upon rows of brightly coloured cloths there for you to have your own outfit made out of.
Try to spot a display of traditional dancing, where the women are wearing not just the beautiful red, orange and yellow cloths, but are also covered in gold bangles and facial jewellery, to give the entire outfit even more sparkle and shine. Indeed, even the elephants have their faces painted with beautiful colours.
Speaking of elephants, you must try to have a ride arranged while you have the chance. Elephants are revered throughout the country as being hard workers and good luck charms. They receive numerous mentions in ancient Hindu texts and scriptures, as well as folklore stories.
Thanks to the elephants, people have been able to build a life for themselves and, generally, the people are incredibly grateful for that. Despite horror stories to the contrary, the elephants are almost always very well cared for and very much loved.
