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. Our guide was really great, he advised us on how to easily mount up the camel and was also very informative. Wonderful service from the team of Banbanjara.

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:
