Famous cities and monuments of Rajasthan
Delhi
Delhi is the capital of modern India.
City of contrasts, with an ultra modern metro and old-time bazaars, with numerous green spaces but also pollution, with wide, straight roads and little narrows streets of Old Delhi...
Delhi cannot be described - it's up to you to discover it.

Jaisalmer is located close to the Thar desert.
