Awash with grandiose palaces, battle-scarred forts, windswept deserts, and some of the most vivid turbans ever to be seen, Rajasthan—Land of the Kings—is India at its colorful best. This traveler-friendly northwest Indian state attracts the highest percentage of India's international visitors, which is hardly surprising considering the region's treasure trove of things to see and do. And not very far away, in the neighboring state of Uttar Pradesh, are two more beauties—the breathtakingly beautiful Taj Mahal and the evocative ruins of Fatehpur Sikri.
