Kishangarhकिशनगढ़
Half a day for the Snow Yard and fort, then move on to Ajmer or Pushkar. Not a base.
Kishangarh is a small town in central Rajasthan, best known for its marble industry and the surreal Snow Yard — a former marble slurry dump that looks like a white desert. The fort and palace are modest. Most travellers use it as a quick stop between Jaipur and Ajmer.
