RAJASTHAN
RAJASTHAN - The Abode of Kings - is perhaps the best known state in India. Its main towns are Jaipur, the state capital; Udaipur with its famous lake and city palaces; Jodhpur; Jaisalmer and Bikaner in the Great Thar desert. Rajasthan is made up of dozens of princely states which were combined in 1947 and the state’s borders were finalised in 1956. It is south west of Delhi, bordering with Pakistan to the west. As its name suggests, Rajasthan is a state of enchanting palaces, both grandiose and intimate and hill forts that take your breath away.
There is a wide variety of landscape within the state - desert and sand dunes in the west around Jaisalmer and Bikaner; lakes; rivers; forest; hills and dramatic cliffs; even the beautiful rose fields around Pushkar and the great salt lake at Sambhar.
We work with professional, reliable and above all local location managers and line producers. With them, we manage to gain access to places that are normally off limits. Private palaces, remote hill forts, deserted villages and brightly coloured villages that are full of life. Our top places to shoot are Jaipur, Udaipur, Jaisalmer and Jodhpur.

About an hour from Jaipur, is a deserted village. Said to be the most haunted place in India, we usually have the site to ourselves! The palace towers over the village and the temple to Shiva has exquisite stone carvings. There are some beautiful banyan trees and monkeys galore.

Near Jaipur, is an extensive salt lake. There are temples and shrines dotted around the countryside around the lake. The views are wide and other-worldly.

Near Ajmer, about 3 hours from Jaipur, is best known for its Camel Fair which happens late October/early November. The camel fair is amazing - hundreds of thousands of camels and their owners camp in the sand dunes around the town. The light of their fires as the sun sets over the desert creates an atmospheric setting. However, few people realise that Pushkar is also a major centre for the cultivation of roses. In December and January the fields around the town are full of pink roses.
