Alwar was a former capital of a Rajput State making it an important stopover for those who want to get the best of both worlds- natural splendour and historical monuments. The good thing about Alwar is that it is not overcrowded making it the perfect haven for the peace-seeking traveller.
The bazaars here are colourful and you will not be hassled by a large crowd. A good time to visit is during the Alwar Festival as the city comes alive. Alwar is a traveller’s dream because of its dense forest cover that is home to a number of rare species of fauna- from the golden jackal to the Bengal tiger. It is also a birdwatcher’s paradise with a variety of avian species- white-throated kingfisher and grey partridge, among others.
Mythologically, Alwar is where the Padavas spent the final years of their exile.
