Here's a look at the history, culture, and architectural splendor that Jaipur has to offer
Jaipur's charm begins with its stunning architecture. The Amber Fort, perched high on a hill, offers panoramic views of the surrounding landscapes and a glimpse into Rajasthan's regal history.
The Hawa Mahal, with its 953 intricately designed windows, tells the story of royal women who observed life from behind its delicate screens.
And a must-see is the UNESCO-listed Jantar Mantar, where ancient astronomical instruments still stand tall, a testament to India's scientific brilliance.
For those seeking royal heritage, the City Palace is still home to the Jaipur royal family and provides a fascinating insight into the city's regal past.
And of course, what's a trip to Jaipur without shopping and food?
A wander through Jaipur's bustling markets is a must. Johari Bazaar dazzles with exquisite jewellery, while Bapu Bazaar offers plenty of textiles and handicrafts.
Meanwhile, foodies will delight in the local delicacies like dal baati churma (a dish made of spiced lentil soup, baked wheat rolls, and a sweet crumbly mixture), ghevar (a deep-fried honeycomb-shaped cake soaked in sugar syrup, typically enjoyed during festivals), and the ever-popular pyaaz kachori (a crispy pastry filled with spiced onion filling).
