Itinerary

1. No trip to Jaipur would be complete without a visit to the world-famous Palace of the Winds, the Hawa Mahal. It was constructed Maharaja Sawai Pratap Singh to house the ladies of the royal court. Its famous pink pyramid-shaped facade has many latticework windows that allowed the ladies to see outside but not be seen themselves.

   40 min

2. Back in the Pink City, an unmissable destination is the Jantar Mantar, Maharaja Jai Singh’s huge astronomical observatory. This World Heritage Site is filled with huge sundials and angular constructions that were used by the royal astronomers to track the movements of the sun, planets, and constellations. They say that the central sundial can tell the time with an accuracy of within 2 seconds.

   1 h

3. Most visitors to Jaipur want to see the City Palace, which is just a couple of minutes away from the Jantar Mantar. The palace complex includes the Chandra Mahal and Mubarak Mahal palaces and other buildings, and is still the home of the Royal Family of Jaipur. It was constructed by Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II when he moved his royal court from Amber to Jaipur.

   1 h

4. Close to the Amber fort is the Rajput-style Jal Mahal, a stunning water palace that seems to float on the surface of the Man Sagar Lake. The Jal Mahal dates from the 17th century and was once one of the favourite palaces of the Jaipur Royal Family.

The museum houses a rich collection of artifacts including paintings, jewelry, carpets, ivory, stone, metal sculptures, and works in crystal.

   1 h

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.
