Rajasthan: Epic Scale (And Epic Heat)
This is the picture book India of your imagination. Forts, palaces, deserts and camels, lots of camels. You're looking in the right place if your script calls for some regal locations, in Sanskrit Rajasthan literally means 'Land of Kings'
Private vs. Public Palaces
-
Public (ASI): Amer Fort, Chittorgarh. Cheaper permits, but strict bureaucracy and no exclusive control (tourists will be in your shot).
-
Private: City Palace Udaipur, Lake Palace. Expensive, but you are the guest of the Maharaja. You get total control and luxury logistics.
