Jaipur ~ presides over the fascinating desert state and its people: surrounded by rugged hills, each crowned by a formidable fort; and beautiful palaces, mansions and gardens dotted throughout its precincts. The palaces and forts of yesteryear that were witness to royal processions and splendour are now living monuments, accepted quite naturally into the lifestyles of the people of the "pink city".  Except the busy traffic of bicycles, cars and buses, little seems to have changed.  There is a timeless quality to Jaipur's bazaars and its people.  With its historical past, Jaipur revives legends of the ancient Rajputs.  The dresses of the women and the turbans of the men add color to this fascinating city.

 Overnight in Jaipur

Take a morning excursion tour to the Amber Fort.  Maharaja Mansingh, Mughal Emperor Akbar’s most successful General, started the construction of Amber Fort in the 17th century. Before the City Palace was constructed in Jaipur, Amber was the seat of power. With its honey-colored fortress-palace in the Aravalli Hills which can be mounted on elephant back, Amber has been described as the sleeping beauty of Rajasthan.

Later in the afternoon, you will proceed for the city tour of Jaipur. Sites to visit include:

Hawa Mahal (Palace of Winds), an elaborate building encrusted with                                                                  delicate honeycomb screens and carved balconies from which the royal ladies, confined to their quarters, could view the world outside.

Jai Singh’s Observatory was built in the 17th century by the founder of Jaipur who, besides being a prince was also a soldier, astronomer and builder.

City Palace, a part is now a museum that contains fine Rajput and Moghul paintings, rare manuscripts and armory, old carpets, and embroidered clothes of the Maharajas and the Maharanis.

 Later walk through the colourful bazaars of Jaipur.
