Itinerary
The tour starts with an exploration of the ancient Amber Fort at the top of the hill. Spend 1-2 hours exploring its royal chambers, gardens and stories of those who lived and ruled from here. Then exit the fort through Chand Pol (Moon gate)
The walking tour into the town begins at Bharmal's old palace, which currently stands abandoned with a courtyard now used as a parking. What keeps it alive though is a hidden temple inside with an engaging story to tell.
The tour passes through the jewel of Amer - the Jagat Shiromani temple and an adjoining Neminath Jain temple. The importance of spirituality and temples is discussed in detail
The journey continues through the town towards one of the most iconic pieces of ancient water engineering - the Panna Meena Stepwell
The walk heads to an old restored haveli (mansion) that was bought, conserved and relaunched as the Anokhi Museum - a space that respects and preserves the ancient art of handprinting still popular in Rajasthan

About Jaipur
Jaipur, the Pink City of Rajasthan, is a royal capital of forts, palaces and bazaars set against the rugged Aravalli hills.
The old city's walls enclose a grid of streets painted terracotta pink, laid out in the eighteenth century by Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II. At its heart, the City Palace mixes Rajput and Mughal styles, the honeycomb façade of the Hawa Mahal, the Palace of Winds, looks down on the street, and the giant astronomical instruments of Jantar Mantar still track the sun.
Top-ranked sights in Jaipur: Palace of Wind (Hawa Mahal), City Palace, Jal Mahal (Water Palace).
