Jaipur
Jaipur, the capital of Rajasthan, is one of the most popular destinations on a tourist’s itinerary, known for its magnificent forts, beautiful havelis and colourful bazaars. Jaipur is part of the famous Golden Triangle tour, which also includes Delhi and Agra. Jaipur is also known as the Pink City. Jaipur’s date with the pink colour goes back to 1905-1906, when the city was getting ready to welcome the Prince of Wales and needed a fresh coat of paint. The contractor’s inability to provide any other colour than pink saw Jaipur washed in pink hue.
Sightseeing
There are a number of forts and palaces in and around Jaipur that tell the tales of Jaipur’s rich and vibrant heritage. Some of the important landmarks include Amber Fort, Hawa Mahal, Jantar Mantar observatory, City Palace, Jaigarh Fort, Gaitore, Nahargarh Fort from where you have a wonderful view all over Jaipur, Birla temple, and Galta Ji (the Monkey temple). Besides the architectural wonders that dot Jaipur, shopping in the colorful bazaars is another exciting way to spend your day. Handicraft items make perfect souvenirs and Jaipur is most famous for its semi-precious stones, jewellery and miniature paintings. To learn more about Rajasthan’s culture, pay a visit to Choki Dhani and indulge in the excellent Rajasthani food served.
From Jaipur you can make excursions to for example the village of Samode or to Abhaneri to see its amazing baoris (step wells).
Festivals
Jaipur has many fairs and festivals, during which the city looks vibrant and colourful. Some of the festivals celebrated here are the Kite festival (Jan.14th), Elephant Festival (March, during Holi), Gangur (March-April) and Teej (July-August). Jaipur is the best place to experience Diwali (Oct./Nov.), when the whole city is decorated with thousands of lights, a spectacular view.
