A visit to Jaipur should be a must for every visitor to India; the multi hued garments and jewelry of the locals, the profusion of camels in everyday traffic, and the play of the sun's rays on the brightly colored walls of the inner city all combine to create an atmosphere unique to this city. Magnificent palaces, the seven city gates, forts, and other monuments sit unchanged amidst the bustle of a busy metropolis. Just outside Jaipur, the Royal Cenotaphs provide for an interesting visit

Astonishing in it's simple ingenuity, the Jantar Mantar (Jaipur Observatory - built 1728) is a must see for anyone with an interest in astronomy. Maharaja Jai Singh was a great conqueror and an equally adept astronomer. The observatory he had designed and built is a marvel that, even today, intrigues and fascinates visitors to Jaipur.
Feast on sumptuous Rajasthani cuisine. Jaipur is a treasure trove of handicrafts and apparel. Your 'tour director' can arrange visits to the best sources. An elephant back ride (jeep option available) to the hilltop fort and a camel back safari (camel cart option available) are included in each visit.

Amber Fort

This magnificent 17th century fort, with its huge ramparts & watch towers, is believed to have been the capital of the original inhabitants of Rajasthan. Many of the interior walls of the palace depict expressive painting scenes with carvings and precious stones. One of the attractions of the palace is the famous Sheesh Mahal (Hall of Mirrors).

The walls and the ceiling of the Sheesh Mahal are covered with an incredible number of tiny concave and convex mirrors in a myriad of shapes. Any light that enters the hall creates an amazing display of illumination.

Hawa Mahal

The ornamental façade of this “Palace of Winds” is a prominent landmark in Jaipur. This five-storied building along the main street of the old city is a pink sandstone masterpiece with semi-octagonal and delicately honeycombed windows.

The monument was built to enable female members of the royal court complete privacy as they watched everyday life and royal processions in the city.

City Palace

The spectacular City Palace is the residence of the former ruling family of Jaipur. The palace occupies one seventh of the walled city of Jaipur and is a wonderful blend of Rajput and Mughal architecture.

The palace houses an extensive collection of textiles, carpets, weaponry, and manuscripts. The Jaipur royal family still resides in one section of the palace. This section is not accessible to the public.
