Jaipur is a bustling capital city and a business centre with all the trappings of a modern metropolis but yet flavoured strongly with an age-old charm that never fails to surprise a traveller.
Jaipur is often called the Pink City in reference to its distinctly coloured buildings, which were originally painted this color to imitate the red sandstone architecture of Mughal cities. The present earthy red color originates from repainting of the buildings undertaken for a visit by the Prince of Wales in 1876. Stunning backdrop of ancient forts are apt testimonials of the bygone era and a reminder of their lingering romance and chivalry.
Stat your tour with a visit to the massive & most impressive Fort of Rajathan, The Amber Fort. The Fort set in picturesque and rugged hills is a fascinating blend of Hindu and Mughal architecture. The rugged forbidding exterior belies an inner paradise with a beautiful fusion of art and architecture. Amber is the classic and romantic fort-palace with a magnificent aura.
The interior wall of the palace depicts expressive painting scenes with carvings, precious stones and mirror settings. In the foreground is the Maota Lake providing a breathtaking vista. Here enjoy a ride on the elephant back to reach to the top of the fort.
After the visit of Amber Fort, drive down to the city to visit the important monuments. Stop at “Hawa Mahal” (Palace of Wind) for a photo. Hawa Mahal was built for the ladies of the royal household to watch everyday life and processions in the city from their veiled comfort.
Continue your visit to other monuments, The Observatory & The City Palace.
The former is a UNESCO world heritage site is the largest of five astronomical observatories built by Maharaja Jai Singh from 1727 to 1734 in north India. The observatory consists of many geometric devices for measuring time, predicting eclipses, tracking stars in their orbits, ascertaining the declinations of planets and determining the celestial altitudes.
City Palace is an architectural marvel that presents a perfect blend of Rajasthani and Mughal art and architecture.
