Travel to Jaipur
Start the day sightseeing the city of Jaipur, nicknamed the “Pink City”. Jaipur is the capital city of the Indian state of Rajasthan, popular for its vibrant culture, grand palaces, forts and lakes. Jaipur derives its name from the founder of the city, warrior-king Sawai Jai Singh II. Next in the must-visit list of places is the Amber Fort. Take a ride on the elephant’s back and explore the beauty of the fort in style. Some of the major structures inside the fort include the Diwan-i-Am, decorated with latticed galleries; Ganesh Pol, a huge multi-tiered painted doorway, and the mesmerizing Sheesh Mahal, the hall of the mirrors. Feel the enchanting beauty of the “Hawa Mahal” or “Palaces of winds”, primarily built for the royal ladies to view the proceedings of the city from behind these windows unobtrusively. Later, visit the City palace, a combination of the Mughal and Rajasthan architectural styles. The museum displays a collection of ancient and rare manuscripts and arms belonging to the 15th century and royal costumes of the erstwhile Kachawa rulers. Finally, visit the Jantar Mantar Observatory, showcasing geometric devices for the measurement of time and tracking of celestial bodies in their orbit. Stay overnight at the hotel.
