The royal flavor and ancient appeal of the city of Jaipur breathe history and emanate charm. This city offers grand palaces, huge forts, lively bazaars, and an attractive juxtaposition of colors as a nice retreat for friends who come to explore culture, history, and luxury. Once a stronghold of the powerful Rajput rulers, Jaipur stands as a testament to the grandeur of a bygone era.
Nestled in the heart of Rajasthan, the pink-city is perfect gateway to explore the land of history, lifestyle and architecture beautifully sculpted by the sands of time. Here is a 3-day itinerary thoughtfully crafted in order to experience the best of Jaipur: Day 1 Start with a guided tour led by the women of the Pink City Rickshaw Company, a non-profit empowering local women. In their hot pink e-rickshaws, you'll be charmed by Jaipur's vibrant streets in the quiet of the early morning.
Visit the City Palace, which is an intricate complex of royal buildings, museums, and courtyards. You can even get a glimpse of young Maharaja Padmanabh Singh who roams around the palace freely. You shouldn't miss this chance for a photo op in front of the most identifiable Leheriya Gate and wind up the visit with a good meal at Baradari-the palace's gourmet restaurant.
Diving into the crowded Johari Bazaar is a great place to see kundan jewelry and hand-crafted textiles. Walk down the narrow lanes trying out local food and bracing the atmosphere. Day 2 Start with the ancient astronomical observatory of Jantar Mant.
