JHALAWAR TOUR
The Princely State of Jhalawar was created in 1838 A. D. after
being separated from Kota by the British. It got its name
derived from Jhalas, the Jhala clan of Rajputs, also the rulers
of Jhalawar. Lying in the south-eastern region of Rajasthan
at the edge of the Malwa plateau, Jhalawar has rocky, but
water-laden verdant landscape, unlike much of the Rajasthan.
With some exquisite pre-historic cave paintings, massive forts,
thickly-wooded forests and exotic wildlife variety, Jhalawar
boasts of rich historic as well as natural wealth.
Jhalawar region has an exotic flavor with its diverse range
of flora and fauna, with which it is richly-blessed. Red poppy
fields add to the vibrant color, while the saras crane breeding
grounds spotlight the rich avian life dominating Jhalawar
territory
