Arrive in Ajmer, a city steeped in history and spirituality. After checking into your hotel, begin your exploration with a visit to the iconic Ajmer Sharif Dargah, believed to be the final resting place of Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti, a revered Sufi saint. The shrine is known for its unique and enormous cauldron (degh) where huge quantities of sweet rice are cooked during special occasions. The rice is distributed as prasad to the devotees.
For lunch, savour traditional Rajasthani cuisine at a local restaurant, with dishes like dal baati churma to tantalise your taste buds. After your spiritual visit, explore the Adhai Din Ka Jhonpra, an architectural gem known for its intricate Indo-Islamic design. The name ‘Adhai Din Ka Jhonpra’ translates to ‘shed of two and a half days,’ alluding to the swift construction of this structure, which has a history dating back to the 12th century.
In the evening, enjoy a tranquil boat ride on Ana Sagar Lake, a picturesque water body with a history dating to the 12th century under Anaji Chauhan's reign. Delight in a variety of bird species that visit the lake.
