Jaipur

💡 About Jaipur

Jaipur, the capital of Rajasthan and the jewel of India's famed Golden Triangle, is known as the Pink City for the rose-coloured hue of its old walled town, painted to welcome a royal visitor in 1876 and preserved ever since.

Founded in 1727 as one of India's first planned cities, Jaipur dazzles with the honeycomb facade of the Hawa Mahal, the sprawling City Palace, and the astonishing Jantar Mantar observatory with its giant stone astronomical instruments. Hilltop forts guard the surrounding valley.

A riot of colour, Jaipur is a paradise of bazaars selling gemstones, textiles, blue pottery and jewellery. With its palaces, elephants and Rajput grandeur, it offers a spellbinding window into the royal heritage of India.
