Kuldhara Village

Amongst the most Haunted Places in Rajasthan, the abandoned Kuldhara Village has a strange, yet very spooky story to tell. The village is said to have been cursed since the 1800s. A minister wanted to forcefully marry a beautiful girl in the village.

Instead of submitting to him, the villagers left their ancestral home and vanished. However, they put a curse on Kuldhara that no one can ever live or breed on this land. Some people who have tried to stay there at night also say that they have been chased away by a strange paranormal phenomenon.

Location: Jaisalmer, Rajasthan.
02

Bhangarh Fort

One of the top Haunted Places in Rajasthan is the infamous Bhangarh Fort. Considered to be amongst the most haunted places in the country, the fort has different stories attached to it.

A common legend suggests that a sadhu fell in love with Princess Ratnavati, and wanted to marry her. One day, he offered her a love potion which she threw onto a large rock. The rock then rolled onto the sadhu, crushing him to death. On a visit to Bhangarh Fort, you can encounter a tantric’s ghost, hear a woman crying for help, or even the clinking of bangles.

I am so glad to share my thrillophilia reviews of Udaipur Trip.It was a wonderful experience for the day. Driver was quite polite and took us to all the places mentioned in the tour guide. Even the tour organiser was quite helpful in arranging the cab as it was a last minute booking. This trip will be remembered for a long time and will surely recommend it to others (infact already recommended)

It is a great deal. Beautiful place to stay. Owner Mr. Mahaveer is very humble and helpful person. Food was tasty & ample. The provided unlimited mineral water for us as and when required. Camel safari was also good & enjoyable. We enjoyed true Rajasthani folk cultural program at night. It was diwali on that particular day. They had arranged some in-house fireworks. Dark starlit sky, campfire, fireworks, folk music & wines - the whole ambiance was ecstatic. Overall a very good & comfortable stay. Only thing I would like to remind you that the region where the camp is located is named Osiyan. Here, you won't find complete desert like Jaisalmer. It is more like a terrain covered with thorny bush. Sand dunes are limited though the camel will take you to a nearby one. But, it's not a fault of owner. You will get compensated with their warm & humble hospitality.
"Desert camping in Jaisalmer remains highlights of your memories ????\nNice Food, Places, Scenic place..\n"

It includes only Camel ride and no Desert safari by Jeep. I had to pay 1200 more for 2 people for Desert safari by Jeep. The dinner was OKish. Camel ride was very good, on requesting he took us twice with just 50Rs. tip. There is an option to go for ATV ride also there @600 per person for a small round :P . But it was fun overall and I enjoyed it.
