Kuldhara Village is currently a heritage site that is looked after by the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI). It seems as though time has stopped in Kuldhara for the past 200 years as soon as you reach the grounds of this historic settlement. Straight, dusty streets with sporadic rows of mud dwellings, cul-de-sac lanes, sandstone walls, and a temple that the Paliwals once visited serve as living reminders of some dark history. The dry riverbed of Kakni is located east of the settlement and serves as a warning about the difficulties of supporting life there. An unidentified reason led to the overnight abandonment of a once-thriving village in North-Western India in 1825. The village's history stretches back to the 13th century. As you go through the ruins of the settlement in Kuldhara, you can observe the impacts of time on the earth. The location, however, has no magical explanation for its legend; rather, a cloak of melancholy hangs in the air, telling the sad story of its inhabitants, who were compelled to flee their original land in the dead of night.

The best time to visit Kuldhara Village is from October to March when the weather is less hot and you may go sightseeing at numerous tourist attractions without getting tired. The majority of the year is very hot in Rajasthan because it is a desert region. It's really difficult to go sightseeing during the winter because of the severely chilly weather.

Wow! Just wow, it was a fantastic tour for all of us. Although our pick up was a bit delayed but once we reached the desert, it was so much fun.

One of the best forts in Rajasthan, stunningly golden! While it's a live-in fort and hence the entrance, as well as the general area, may not look clean but the views from the fort are just awesome. Some important tips for first-time visitors:
