India: The Splendor of Rajasthan - exerpt

Story & Photos by Keith Hyde

It is always a joy to visit India. Few countries can match its incredible variety of landscapes across its 23 states — a land of contrasts, vibrant people, many religions, festivals and the richest colors on earth.

One can travel from the high altitude of the north and the scenic splendor of the Himalayas, west to the desert of Rajasthan, south to the hot and lush Malabar coast and east to Calcutta and the Bay of Bengal, a breathless kaleidoscope of color and magic. This was not my first trip to India so I was returning to the great sub-continent with much anticipation, This time I was to visit the exotic Kingdom of Rajasthan in India’s north west and explore the ancient wonders of the state via the luxurious train known as the Palace on Wheels. One of the best ways to travel around Rajasthan, the Palace on Wheels runs from August until the end of April.
