Along with Delhi and Agra, Jaipur is the third point of the Golden Triangle in India. Jaipur is vivid in its presentation of traditional Rajasthani culture. Jaipur holiday packages include a visit to the city's Pink City neighbourhood, an old walled district where labyrinthine bazaars bustle with traditional Rajasthani handcraft like jewellery, ceramics, clothing, and woodwork.
This bazaar, which is regarded as one of the most upscale in Asia, draws visitors to Jaipur who don't seem to mind the crowds, the aggressive salespeople, or the frenetic energy of it all.
Jaipur, one of the most flamboyant cities in the nation, offers visual splendours in the shape of its architectural wonders and an oasis of peace that will make you feel as though you are somewhere foreign despite its trundling buses, buzzing auto-rickshaws, ambling camels, and swarms of motorcyclists.

As you browse Jaipur travel packages, be sure they include trips to the City Palace, which still serves as the residence of the royal family, a royal observatory, the Jantar Mantar, and the honeycomb-shaped Hawa Mahal, which is surrounded by a thriving bazaar. One of the main reasons tourists travel to Jaipur is to see the fairy-tale Amber Fort, which is perched atop a hill just beyond the city's clamour.
Three major regions can be distinguished in Jaipur. The Hawa Mahal and City Palace are located in the Pink City, the sprawling metropolitan area at its centre. The Central Museum and Ram Niwas Garden are located in the southern part of the Pink City, which is greener and quieter with less of the activity associated with the old walled city. The third area is the surrounding area, which is littered with various royal relics like the Nahargarh Fort, the Galta Temples, and the Royal Gaitor Cenotaphs.
The three prominent seasons in the semi-arid, dry region of Jaipur are a dry winter, a scorching summer, and a brief but powerful monsoon. Expectedly, the greatest time for Tour to Jaipur is still the winter, from November through February, when there are also the most visitors because of the warm weather during the day and the cold that comes at night.
The Pink City, the old walled city with majestic gateways constructed by Maharaja Jai Singh, is located in the centre of Jaipur. The grid-like layout of these all-rose-colored structures, with their straight, wide, and broad streets opening up to airy squares at the key junctions, is a defining characteristic. The plan was made in accordance with vaastu shastra.
The Jantar Mantar, a collection of 18 stone astronomical measuring devices constructed in the 18th century after being commissioned by Maharaja Jai Singh, who was an avid astronomer himself, is located in the wide green enclosure south of the City Palace. The haphazardly positioned buildings and shapes evoke an abstract sculpture park, which makes for some fantastic photo opportunities. Five of these identically called observatories, including one in Delhi, were built by Jai Singh, who was thought to have been more interested in astrology than astronomy. Hiring a guide and learning how the movement and position of planets and stars are detected can help you better grasp how this observatory operates.
The City Palace, the most majestic building in Jaipur, is located in the Pink City. The direct royal bloodline still resides in a portion of the palace that Maharaja Jai Singh initially erected in the 1720s. When they pass by the huge Tripolia Gate on the southern side of the building during an official meeting, you may see them in procession. The palace's more understated eastern gate, which opens onto one of its main courtyards with the stunning Mubarak Mahal in the middle, is used by regular tourists.
One of Jaipur's most recognisable landmarks, the Hawa Mahal or Palace of Winds, is located to the east of City Palace. This 18th-century building was designed to allow courtly women to observe activities on the street without drawing attention to themselves because they were expected to remain in purdah. The five-story building's numerous balconies and jaali windows give the impression that it is larger than it actually is. There are ramps rather than stairs within the Hawa Mahal to provide room for the palanquins transporting the royal ladies. You must briefly go along a road that travels north from Tripolia Bazaar around the rear of the building in order to get inside.
A broad road leading out of New Gate and flanked by the lush Ram Niwas Gardens, named after the person who established it, Maharaja Ram Singh, runs south of the Pink City (1835 to 1880). The magnificent Albert Hall towers over the lawn, and to its south is the Museum of Indology. The Nahargarh Fort is located to the north of the Pink City, while the Monkey Palace, also known as Galta, is located to the east across an elevation.
The striking Nahargarh Fort, which derives its name from the idea that tigers once roamed freely on the hills north of Jaipur, is perched on the edge of those hills. Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II built this majestic fort in Jaipur's Aravalli Mountains in 1734 as a defence for the city. The fort's sunset views are very pleasant. The fort's massive ramparts wrap around a step-well and extend over a kilometre along the ridgetop.
This magnificent fort, which is Jaipur's main attraction, is composed of an ornate and elegant palace complex made of pink and pale yellow sandstone as well as white marble. There are four distinct areas of the complex, each with its own courtyard. You may either walk up to the fort in about 10 minutes, or you can ride an elephant to the fort like the ancient monarchs did. Taking 4WD to the summit and back is another option. Through Suraj Pol, you may access Amber Fort and proceed through the Jaleb Chowk, the main courtyard where armies displaying their spoils of battle would display them for all to see from the veiled windows of the palace complex.
The Albert Hall, one of Jaipur's most notable structures, was completed in 1867 and features an intriguing fusion of Mughal and Venetian architectural elements. The Central Museum, which is housed in the building, has a collection that focuses on both traditional and other Indian topics. There are some of the best examples of Jaipur pottery on display, as well as a variety of Mughal and Rajasthani miniature paintings, jewellery, woodwork and furniture, clay figurines, numismatics, musical instruments, carpets, ivory work, statues of Hindu gods and goddesses, and artefacts from all over the world, including Egyptian antiquities, hand-painted tiles, and priceless objects from Japan, Myanmar, and Persia.
A little town called Galta is located in a steep valley about 3 kilometres east of Jaipur. Galta is home to multiple temples that date back hundreds of years and are crammed into a deep ravine. Galta is considered sacred because of the freshwater spring that regularly bubbles through the rocks in a valley that is normally dry and stony, filling up two tanks. These two tanks are currently the major source of food for a massive colony of macaque monkeys, giving the area the nickname "Monkey Palace."
The Royal Gaitor, a walled funeral complex where the magnificent marble cenotaphs or chhatris of the royal family of Jaipur are located, situated to the north of the city centre. The complex has two central courtyards, each of which is filled with ornate marble tombs. The exquisite Madho Singh II cenotaph from the 20th century is located in the first courtyard. Madho Singh II was a food enthusiast who had 125 offspring between his four marriages and roughly 50 concubines. The more ornate cenotaph belonged to Jai Singh II, who created Jaipur and was the first monarch to be buried at this Royal Gaitor. He passed away in 1743. The Ganesh Mandir, one of the main Ganesh temples in the city, is located on top of the ridge that overlooks the Gaitor and is accessible through a narrow staircase.
This monument is located on the Agra Road through the Ghat Gate, some 6 kilometres outside of the city. This formal garden is a verdant sanctuary amidst the clamour of Jaipur city and provides the ideal relief from the summer heat. Terraced gardens with statues and fountains were constructed in the area in the 18th century for Sisodia Rani, Maharaja Jai Singh II's second wife. The same-named palace watches over the grounds. Murals depicting mythological events and hunting scenes may be found on the palace's exterior walls. Regular buses run to Sisodia Rani Palace Garden from the city. Even better, you can arrange a return trip with an auto-rickshaw driver after departing from the city centre.
A souvenir shopper's paradise is Jaipur. The best place in all of Jaipur to buy clothing and textiles, including the renowned block-print fabrics and Bandhani tie-dye, is Bapu Bazaar, which is located south of the Pink City. Just past Zorawar Gate, on the other side of the town, are emporiums filled with wall hangings, embroidery, and other lovely handmade items. You can get Persian-inspired vases, tiles, plates, and candle stands from the well-known blue pottery shops on Amber Road or even from the late Kripal Singh's workshop. Visit Johari Bazaar, a street in the Pink City that runs north of Sanganeri Gate, as well as the Chameliwala Market, which is located immediately off MI Road behind the Copper Chimney restaurant, if you're looking for silver jewellery. The finest variety of gemstones in Jaipur may be found in the Chameliwala Market.
