Popular by the name of “Pink City”, Jaipur adds a pretty pink hue to the golden history of Rajasthan. Every corner of Jaipur narrates a story, a story about the legends of India, its heroic battles and story of love. Oozing with royalty and opulence, Jaipur houses splendid forts, affluent heritage, flamboyant culture, warm hospitality, lip-smacking cuisine and never-ending shopping options. The city holds the distinction of the first planned city of India.
Housing best forts and palaces, the Amber Fort is one of the famous forts guarding the skyline of Jaipur. The architectural beauty of the fort is such that it makes you wonder and ponder in disbelief. Placed on a hill top overlooking Maota Lake, the fort draws the holidaymakers with its range of overwhelming palaces, halls, gardens, and temples.
Another beautiful wonder here is the City Palace, which flaunts the richness of India. The Peacock Gate of the palace is exquisite. Other magnificent attractions of the palace include museum, art gallery, and appealing displays of imperial costumes and old Indian arms. Hawa Mahal is also a must visit attraction of the Jaipur City. Hawa Mahal has 953 windows which were once used by the queens to view the busy streets of Johari Bazaar.
Nahargarh Fort is another popular attraction among the travelers. Built in the year 1734, the Fort is perched high on the jagged Aravali Hills, and is the best place to explore spectacular vistas of the Jaipur city from a bird’s eye.
