Geography in Rajasthan

The common image of Rajasthan is the golden Thar Desert, but the actual geography of Rajasthan is a canvas of surprising diversity. It is as diverse as its culture. From deserts to hills, Rajasthan offers something for every traveller. This large state has many different natural features from the wide Thar Desert to the old Aravalli Hills which gives each region its unique look and feel.

The two main geographical features of Rajasthan are the Aravalli Hills and the Thar Desert. The Aravalli range, one of the oldest in the world, stretches from the southwest to the northeast of the state and runs across much of Rajasthan. Mount Abu is the only hill station in Rajasthan. This region is dotted with rivers, waterfalls, and forests, making it ideal for trekking, eco-tourism, and quiet getaways. The Tropic of Cancer passes through Banswara district in southern Rajasthan. 

The Thar Desert covers the northwestern part of Rajasthan, making the land dry and sandy. The geography of Rajasthan also includes Salt lakes like Sambhar, fertile plains near the Chambal River, and wildlife sanctuaries like Ranthambhore, Sariska, and Keoladeo National Park. This geographical variety makes Rajasthan perfect for diverse travel experiences - from desert safaris and hill retreats to wildlife tours and spiritual escapes.

Whether you want royal palaces or sand dunes, Rajasthan tour packages can be tailored to match your interests.

Happy Travellers
